Firefighters simultaneously fight structure fire, swarm of bees in Los Angeles
Firefighters have tough jobs, but a swarm of bees made their job even harder while fighting a structure fire that broke out Sunday morning.
Los Angeles Fire Department officials confirmed that the blaze started just before 11 a.m. in the 1600 block of New Jersey Street in L.A.’s Boyle Heights neighborhood.
“The seat of the fire appeared to be in the crawl space of a living space added on to the back of a house,” LAFD stated. “The fire extended up the wall to the garage of the primary structure.”

Two garages and a one-story apartment building were also exposed to the flames, LAFD elaborated. Video posted to the Citizen App shows smoke billowing into the clear morning sky.
Eventually, just over half an hour after the fire broke out, 54 firefighters were able to extinguish the flames with no injuries reported.
“While conducting overhaul operations, firefighters [worked] diligently to protect vehicles in the garage while safely managing a bee swarm on the exterior of the building,” officials said.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.
