The mother, who was not identified, was taking outdoor pictures with her children when they were attacked, the Arizona Fire & Medical Authority said in a Facebook post on Sunday. The mother immediately put her two children inside their SUV, resulting in her taking the brunt of the attack.

“The mother’s quick thinking saved the children from being stung,” the agency said.

In a 911 call released by the agency, the woman’s mother begged for help.
