Written by City News Service - Two men were hospitalized with burns, and firefighters were driven back from a burning house by explosions caused by a drug manufacturing process, authorities said today.
   An initial investigation of the burned-out structure uncovered a
``butane honey oil extraction laboratory,'' Los Angeles County sheriff's deputy Don Walker said.
   Walker said butane bottles were found inside the residence, and it appeared one may have exploded, starting the fire.
   Two occupants of the residence, aged 18 and 21, made contact with paramedics about a block from the blaze in the 2300 block of Ayers Avenue about 8:15 p.m., Los Angeles County fire Dispatcher Michael Pittman said. A county fire tweet said both men, described as suspects by the sheriff's department, suffered critical burns. Both face narcotics-related charges, Walker said.
   Firefighters at the residence reported hearing several explosions and were pulled back from the structure, which was allowed to burn, , Pittman said.
   The LA County fire tweet described the structure as being knocked off its foundations by the explosions.
   The fire was doused by 80 firefighters in 45 minutes, Pittman said. Damage to the structure was estimated at $300,000.
