The Georgia Bureau of Investigation is looking into a drug-related explosion that occurred early Tuesday morning in Fort Oglethorpe, resulting 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.

Cook was air-lifted shortly thereafter arriving at Erlanger to a special burn unit in Augusta, Ga.

Cook reportedly was cooking the meth in the travel trailer in the driveway of his residence; several of Cook's family members inside the residence at the time of the explosion, including small children.

The chemicals from the manufacturing process reportedly were near a flame inside the trailer, which caused the flash fire, that quickly went out on its own.

Members of the Lookout Mountain Drug Task Force also responded to the scene.

Manufacturing materials were visible in the truck that was located near the trailer in the driveway, and Drug Task Force agents were notified.

Task Force commander Pat Doyle said Cook will face charges after investigation of the case is complete.
