Fumes from a cleaning solution were the apparent culprit during an incident Monday afternoon at Busch Gardens that left several employees hospitalized.

The James City County Fire Department responded to the park just after 2 p.m. for a report of a patient having difficulty breathing, according to JCCFD spokesman Joe Riley. The first units on the scene found multiple patients being treated for respiratory issues by Busch Gardens' staff.

Ten patients - all employees of the Trappers Smokehouse restaurant in the park's New France area - were evaluated, with four transported to Williamsburg Sentara Regional Medical Center for additional evaluation. No further information about the patients' condition was immediately available.
