Three people were hurt in a Clark County fire Sunday evening. Police say they’re still investigating what caused it, but the homeowner says he has an idea.
“I smelled something real funny like metallic or something,” said resident Jon Ratliff.
Jon Ratliff, who says he lives in the apartment where the fire broke out, was letting a couple stay with him. He says he was watching TV in the living with his fiance when the woman came out of the bedroom yelling.
“She’s on fire yelling ‘help’ so I had a blanket on the back of my chair. So, I grabbed the blanket and started putting her out,” he said.

“Someone said that a meth lab blew up in her face, so I was freaking out,” said neighbor Angela Fraley.
Police had to evacuate 8 apartments as a precaution. Some neighbors explained what police told them had happened.
“That’s what blew up, was the fuel, that they actually did not get to finish the process of the meth lab,” said Fraley.
Ratliff says he was trying to help the couple, who used to be his neighbors, but had recently gotten kicked out and had no place to go.
“You let somebody stay with you and this is what happens,” said Ratliff.
Police say they are still investigation what caused the fire.
