Telescopic device to help firefighters battle bees, wasps

THE Kanowit Fire Station has invented the first of its kind telescopic boomer spray that helps to make it safer and easier to destroy beehives and wasp nests in trees that pose a danger to the public.

The boomer spray is fixed to a 3m long metal telescopic pole. With this device, firefighters no longer have to get near the hives or nests to destroy them.
