EL PASO, Texas — Firefighters responded to a bee attack Monday outside a seafood restaurant in the Lower Valley.
El Paso firefighters responded to a call of a bee attack shortly before 4 p.m. at Cocteles Mazatlan in the 7900 block of North Loop Drive, Inspector John Concha, a Fire Department spokesman said. No serious injuries were reported.
Concha said the bees attacked firefighters upon arrival, forcing them to retreat into vehicles before a specialized unit was sent to handle a hive that stretched the length of a column on the roof.
An exterminator was later called to handle the hive.
“The bees are being pretty aggressive,” Concha said.
