WESTWOOD — A Westwood man was injured when the beehive he was attempting to destroy caught fire and burned him, according to a report on NorthJersey.com.

The 29-year-old man, who police did not identify, was spraying multiple chemicals onto the hive, which police said caused a reaction that led to the flames, according to the report. The man's neighbor tried to extinguish him, and after a 911 call he was airlifted to St. Barnabas Medical Center in Livingston, the report said.
