Firefighters tackle bee hive

Firefighters had their hands full when assisting at a residence on Bacobi Road on Sunday when homeowner John Murphy discovered a very large hive in his home. The picture taken after firefighters exterminated the bees is evidence how large this hive really was. Bees and wasps often make hives in old cars, sheds and even under tarps that are left undisturbed for long periods of time reports FF Roy Whitten. FF Whitten reminds citizens: “When in doubt, call us out” so we can handle the problem and not a person who becomes a patient who tried to fix the problem themselves. This is but one public service your firefighters provide to keep the public safe when within our ability.
