Police and firefighters are on the scene of a meth bust in Birmingham.

The home is in the 2000 block of on 21st Avenue South, which is commonly known as Diaper Row. The name stems from young couples living on the stretch of roadway between Homewood and Mountain Brook's English Village from as far back as the 1940s.

Birmingham police spokesman Sgt. Bryan Shelton said investigators responded to a complaint. Narcotics investigators went to the scene and found what appeared to the remains of a meth lab.

Birmingham Fire and Rescue Service's HAZMAT responders are also on site.

No arrests have yet been announced. Shelton said the primary objective was to make the area safe. "We take things like this seriously,'' he said. "You not only endanger your life, but the lives of others when manufacturing narcotics."
