Firefighters were called to a blaze on St. Henry Ave. at 10 Wednesday morning that had a little extra surprise for them.
The garage that was on fire contained beekeeping equipment, and while fighting the blaze, crews also had to deal with swarming bees.
The “bees were swarming pretty good” after a garage containing bee equipment caught fire on St. Charles Ave this morning. The blaze knocked out power to the neighbourhood. #yxe pic.twitter.com/bOI5uw3spP

Utility crews were also on the scene, as there was a concern about how close some power lines were to the fire.
Firefighters had the blaze under control in 20 minutes.
There were no injuries, and investigators are still working to find a cause and damage estimate.
