24-year-old Steven Brown of Port Richey turned himself in to investigators

A Florida man grabbed his drugs after blowing up his home, but left his one-year-old daughter and two caged dogs behind.

Steven Brown of Port Richey turned himself in to Pasco County investigators on Monday after the explosion on September 3.

The 24-year-old was making hash oil when his house burst into flames.

He faces arson, drug and aggravated cruelty to animal charges.

Pasco County Sheriff's Office spokesman Kevin Doll says Brown was trying to cook the very potent type of marijuana inside his home when the fire started.

Deputies say Brown took his drugs and fled the residence, leaving behind a one-year-old child and two dogs. The child wasn't hurt, but both dogs died in the fire

Deputies say after the fire, Brown then grabbed his drugs and fled the home, leaving his two caged dogs to die in the fire

The Pasco County Sheriff's Office says this is the first explosion caused by marijuana wax or butane hash in the county

It is very dangerous because like a lot of organic solvents making the hash oil is very flammable, and using propane or butane there is the risk of an explosion

Deputies say Brown took his drugs and fled the residence.

But he didn't return to pick up the youngster or his two pets. The child wasn't hurt, but the dogs later died.

Authorities had been searching for Brown, who they say fled from a traffic stop September 9.

Jail records don't indicate whether he has an attorney.

'It was loud. I'm talking about like somebody just dropped a bomb,' neighbor Cynthia Bryant said of the explosion to BayNews9.

'It is very dangerous because like a lot of organic solvents it's very flammable, and using propane or butane, it's also explosive,' said Alfred Aleguas with the Florida Poison Information Center.

Aleguas says propane from a grill or butane from a lighter is used to extract the THC, if there's a spark it could lead to an explosion.

A drug-related explosion accidentally burned his house down, authorities said

The Pasco County Sheriff’s Office said that something went wrong during the process of marijuana ‘cooking’ in the house

During the process, the marijuana is cooked down into a waxy form that is more potent and is more easy to package and sell

The explosion was heard by many residents in the neighborhood

This is the first marijuana wax explosion for the Bay Area and deputies can only hope this won't be the start of a dangerous trend

According to deputies, when Brown was faced with the decision of what to save from the fire, he grabbed his drugs and ran—leaving his two caged dogs to die in the blaze
