For the lucky people in the house to go home in Altadina, going home was left behind in dealing with incomplete tasks when Eaton’s fire forced them to evacuate. Some people, it means to clean the freezer filled with the payment of bills or the rotten food, all of which are in the middle of trauma and toxic environments.
For Semi Arbod, who moved from the fire line in November to a block house, there was a different type of barrier: a 525 LB black bear.
I had met Arbaid before the fire. Immediately after the HVAC engineer moved to the house, a part of Altadina that survived the fire, he discovered that clinicing sounds that he, his wife and his dog master bedroom You can hear that is made by a large bear that is being made by a large bear. Apparently it had moved there before, while the house was uncomfortable.
Then, as the first animal control and then the California Department of Fish and Wildlife sent people out to confirm, yes, the bear was using crawl space for shelter, but not, these There was nothing to help, Arbaid also discovered that a neighbor was feeding the “bear for years.”
Despite the size of the bear, Arbud said, Berry was able to enter the crawl space without making too much noise. But when he hit the pipe under the house, often going for a midnight breakfast, the arid dogs went to the nuts. He forced Arbud and his wife to abandon the bedroom and sleep with his dogs, with his dogs. In California, black bears rarely occur in dangerous competitions, According to the Department of WildlifeBut they can be “unexpected”.
Then the fire came and the Arbuds were forced to evacuate, it did not solve the beer problem, the name was given to the renters below the Arbod’s neighbors.
After the fire, the gas company told Arbud that he had failed to return his service, as he had a huge bear along his way.
This is when Arbod caught the lucky break. Before the fire, officials told him that the bear was a problem. But now that his house was in an emergency rehabilitation area, the California Department of Wildlife Department came to help remove the bear.
The Department’s Environmental Scientist, Kevin Hole, assessed the situation and decided that the bear was huge and the crawl is huge to drag out the door of the space. So the Hole went to a local supermarket and invited him to try the bear from his hidden site and invite it to the cage near the house: apple apples powered by routine chicken, sardines and peanuts.
As the department explains On his Instagram account“Within a few minutes of the trap, the bear came out of the crawl space, went in and triggered the trap door. The bear was shifted to the Angeles National Forest in the net and was released safely after midnight. Before it was welfare checks, GPS colored, and measured.
