The Georgia Bureau of Investigation is looking into a drug-related explosion that occurred early Tuesday morning, Sept. 11, in Fort Oglethorpe, which resulted in a man suffering severe chemical and fire burns while cooking meth in a travel trailer.

According to Lt. Steve Blevins with the Fort Oglethorpe Police Department, police were notified of the incident after receiving a phone call from Erlanger at Hutcheson, stating that 37-year-old Barry Cook showed up at the Fort Oglethorpe hospital with suspicious-looking burns.

“The incident occurred around 3:15 a.m.,” Blevins said. “The explosion occurred in a travel trailer that was parked in the driveway of the residence, and then the man began banging on the front door of the residence. He woke his family up, and then they attempted to help him.”
