AlphaMedia/Bakersfield
The fire broke out June 16 in a second-story apartment in the 2400 block of McCray Street.
In the apartment below, firefighters moved some furniture around to make their job easier and safer.
That’s when they discovered nearly $100,000 in cash, about 95 pounds of methamphetamine and about 2.2 pounds of cocaine inside a duffel bag behind a dresser.
Sheriff’s deputies were called in.
Authorities haven’t listed anyone whose name appears on the apartment lease.
