JERSEY CITY, N.J. — Twelve Jersey City firefighters were rushed to the hospital Sunday morning suffering from respiratory distress after responding to an explosion caused by an insect fogger, officials said.
The firefighters were all taken to the Jersey City Medical Center for observation after inhaling the concentrated bug spray, Fire Director Armando Roman said.
The incident has spurred Roman to consider a public safety campaign to highlight the hazards of the insect-killing devices.
