More than 200 cannabis plants have been found after police received reports of a strong, persistent smell of the drug.
The plants were found at an address on Sunny Brow, Coppull, on Monday.
Lancashire Police said the electricity had been bypassed and there was a "very real risk of fire" as "terrifyingly the fuse was so unstable it was too hot to hold".
A 42-year-old man, of no fixed address, was arrested at the scene and is currently being questioned on suspicion of cannabis cultivation.
