(Masslive.com) – Firefighters rescued two baby bears from a tree after the cubs climbed to safety when their mother was hit by a car over the weekend.
The rescue was the first of two sightings of mother bears with cubs this weekend, prompting police to warn people to keep their distance and avoid gathering in crowds to watch them because they will spook the animals.
The Fire Department was called and used a ladder truck to rescue the two cubs from the tree. The animals were then turned over to wildlife officials, Fire officials said.
