A massive bee swarm forces the El Paso Fire Department to spring into action.
Three fire units responded to an eastside Luby's restaurant just after 2:00 Sunday afternoon after a customer reported hundreds of bees swarming by their car.
The customer ran inside and asked for help.
The manager of the restaurant took no chances and called a pest control company as well as firefighters.
Customers inside the Luby's were forced to stay indoors while crews handled the problem.
"The fire department came by and they sprayed it with some insecticides and some poisons once they got it taken care of they announced to everyone that they could leave, they were inside the building for about an hour," said Victor Valadez, the manager of Luby's.
No one was injured.
Fire officials say they only respond to bee swarms if a person or pet is in immediate danger.
