15 Cans of Bug Spray Blow Roof Off House
Associated Press
NORTH LAS VEGAS —
A woman narrowly escaped serious injury when fumes from 15 cans of bug spray exploded, literally raising the roof of her home, fire officials said today.
They said the woman was using so many cans of bug fogger because a previous attempt to rid her home of bugs with only one can of the chemical failed. Fumes from the cans were touched off by the pilot light on a kitchen stove, causing the explosion.
