 3 follows:
 4 2. A person is guilty of arson in the first degree when, while manu-

 6 controlled substance in violation of article two hundred twenty of this
 7 chapter, destroys in whole or in part, or causes to be burned or
 8 destroyed, or aids, counsels or procures the burning or destruction of
 9 any building or contents thereof, inhabited or occupied by one or more
 10 persons, whether such building or contents is the property of such
 11 person or another, or when, while manufacturing or attempting to manu-
 12 facture a controlled substance in violation of article two hundred twen-
 13 ty of this chapter, causes a person to be burned, or aids, counsels or

 16 container designed to explode or produce uncontained combustion upon
 17 impact, containing flammable liquid and having a wick or a similar
 18 device capable of being ignited; and "controlled substance" shall have
 19 the same meaning as set forth in subdivision five of section 220.00 of
