One of several firefighters stung Wednesday was also taken to a hospital, authorities said.
Hundreds of bees attacked and injured a woman at her Murrieta home Wednesday before also stinging some firefighters who arrived to help, authorities said.
Murrieta Fire & Rescue was called shortly before 2 p.m. to the 23000 block of Spring Branch Court, where they found the woman covered by a swarm of bees concentrated on her head and arms, according to Battalion Chief Steve Kean. The woman was transported to a local hospital for her injuries and was reported to be stable, Kean added.
Firefighters were stung trying to assist the woman, and one was also transported to the hospital but has since been released, according to Kean, who said crews sprayed foam to tackle the swarm. Firefighters located two hives in the eaves of the house, Kean said, adding that bees may have also entered the home’s attic space.
A bee removal company has addressed the hives, but it may take some days for the bees to dissipate or die out, Kean said. Authorities have urged nearby residents to be cautious around the home.Murrieta Firefighters – IAFF Local 3540
