If there is one good thing of being a firefighter in Reno Nevada, it is that sometimes the Truckee Meadows Fire Protection get called to rescue three cubs who were stuck inside a trash bin that fell down when the cubs as well as the mom wanted to get food from inside the trash bin on Saturday night. The firemen who were Ed Martin who was in charge of getting the cubs out of the trash bin, Captain Michael Trevino who was in charge of filming the story and Patrick Walsh who had the desk of keeping the bear away from Ed. The three cubs were able to get out of the fallen trash bin and join their mom to go back into the woods. This incident could have been avoided if the trash bin would have been sealed shut since bears like to hunt for food before the winter period comes and they take their nap.

This must be an occupational hazard for bears.

The bears just love food wherever they can find it.

The bears must be hungry to wander down into a populated area like Reno.

Poor lil cubs, good thing they were saved just in time. Wish humans would feed them regularly so that they wouldnt rummage through the trash.
