In an effort to conceal the grow operation from law enforcement and thieves, growers are moving their operations indoors. This creates a number of hazards. People involved indoor growing operations often manipulate the electrical systems to conceal their electricity usage and avoid paying the considerable cost of the electricity they use. Controlling the climate is an essential part of the indoor growing operation. Often the chemical composition of the air inside the house is modified to enhance plant growth, to the detriment of first responders should they need to enter the grow area. These modifications coupled with growers arming themselves to discourage robberies and the use of booby traps can make responding to a fire or other emergency at a grow operation increasingly hazardous.
