he Pasar Minggu Fire and Rescue Agency responded to a call from a group of workers who asked for their help to remove a wasp nest they discovered on Thursday evening at the Ragunan Sports Center in Pasar Minggu, South Jakarta.
“A big wasp nest was found right at the gate to the sports center, which is dangerous. [The workers] discovered the nest when they went to paint the gate for the Asian Games,” said head of Pasar Minggu Fire and Rescue Agency Ardianysah as quoted by wartakota.tribunnews.com on Friday.
“The workers were afraid that they would be stung by the wasps,” he added, and that the nest was 30 centimeters in diameter.
“We deployed our officers last night and found no difficulties in removing the nest,” said Ardianysah. (iwa)
