ONE of two men critically injured when a suspected clandestine drug lab went up in flames in Sydney's south is in a grave condition in hospital, police say.
The men, aged 37 and 40, are fighting for their lives after flames engulfed a garage in Barden Ridge at about 8pm (AEST) on Sunday.
Drug squad and Hazmat officers investigated the crime scene on Monday, with police saying equipment suspected of being used to manufacture drugs had been found at the site.
Superintendent Julian Griffiths said the 40-year-old victim was undergoing emergency surgery at Royal North Shore Hospital.
"His condition has been listed as critical, and best described as grave," Supt Griffiths told reporters on Monday afternoon.
He said the 37-year-old was also critically injured and remained in an induced coma.
Mr Griffiths said the injured men appeared to have "attempted to use the shower within the premises to render first aid to themselves".
"That's consistent with the blood that has been located," he said.
Police are questioning a 41-year-old man who was at the home at the time and who initially drove the two victims to hospital.
Earlier, neighbours described a strange smell, explosions and a big ball of smoke as the drug lab burned.
Zuzana Navara said at first she thought the fire was her neighbour having a barbecue.
"Then we came around the block and we saw the flames and the explosion," she told the Seven Network.
Fred de Feyteo said he was worried the fire would spread.
"I came out and saw this big ball of smoke, a really different smell, so we were sort of worried about the bush behind the house," he said.
