Firefighters in Nan'ao county, Guangdong province, used water canons to remove a hornet's nest from atop a tree near a hospital on Sunday.

Firefighters said they had to use water canons as the nest was situated at a height of 20 meters.

The hornet's nest, firefighters said, "threatened the safety" of patients and medical staff at the nearby hospital.
