A small explosion and fire inside a Lakewood hotel room is being investigated as an illegal hash-oil cook.

The incident happened at about 5 p.m. at the Crossland Hotel, 715 Kipling St., said West Metro Fire Rescue spokeswoman Ronda Scholting.

Authorities said there was a series of small explosions in a second-floor room. When firefighters arrived, they extinguished a fire in Room 211, containing the blaze to the lone room.

Two men suffered minor injuries and the three-story building was partially evacuated.

An investigation is ongoing, Scholting said, but early indications point to a hash oil explosion.
