Fighting a Bee Swarm with Foam: Tucson Fire Department’s Unique Approach
Imagine finding yourself trapped in your own home because of a swarm of bees attacking outside. That’s exactly what happened to two Tucson residents at the end of August. The Tucson Fire Department came to the rescue, armed with an unconventional weapon: foam.
According to the fire department, the swarm was discovered near a residence in a Tucson neighborhood. The trapped residents had been stung and were hesitant to leave the safety of their home. One person even had to drive themselves to the hospital due to the severity of the stings.
The Tucson Fire Department shared on social media that they have successfully used foam to combat aggressive bee swarms in the past. This foam is specifically deployed when the bees are in attack mode, ensuring the safety of both residents and first responders.
The incident garnered attention on Twitter, with the Tucson Fire Department sharing a post showcasing their foam-fighting strategy. This unique approach highlights the creativity and resourcefulness of the firefighters in dealing with unexpected situations.
