Volusia County deputies responded to a trailer park in Oak Hill Thursday night after a man called 911 to report that he and his wife were having respiratory issues.

When they arrived, deputies found the man outside, on his front porch coughing uncontrollably.  When the responding deputy asked if anyone else was inside the man said his wife was still inside and needed assistance.

The Volusia County Hazardous Materials Team also responded to the scene.

The man went on to tell deputies that he set off four Raid bug bombs inside his home while he, his wife and their two dogs were still inside.  His wife appeared to be unconscious inside a bathroom.

First responders donned oxygen masks and other protective gear before going inside to rescue the woman.

Both of the man and woman were rushed to a local hospital.  Deputies took the couple’s two dogs to a veterinary clinic to be checked out.

So far, no one has been identified.

The couple’s current condition is also unknown.
