COWETA, Okla. — A woman gathered up two children, a pet bird and a puppy before setting off 18 cans of bug fogger in her mobile home. She stepped outside, and the fumes exploded.
Fire officials said a pilot light likely ignited the fumes, blowing out windows, the door and one wall last week. No one was injured. A fire chief said the woman could have treated the entire home with only two or three cans of the insecticide.
