For those who are lucky enough to return to Altadena, going home means dealing with the unfinished trivia that the Eaton fire forced them to evacuate. For some, this means paying overdue bills or cleaning up freezers filled with rotten food, all in traumatic and toxic environments.

For Samy Arbid moving into a house that was only block from the Fire Line in November, that was another obstacle: a 525-pound black bear.

arbid met Biri before the fire. Shortly after the HVAC engineer moved into the house and survived the fire, he discovered that he, his wife and their dog could hear the jingle under the master bedroom, made by a giant bear. Apparently, when the house is occupied, it is obvious that it is moved there first.

Then, as the first animal control, then the California Fish and Wildlife Service took people out to confirm that yes, the bears were using crawling space for shelter, but no, there was nothing they could do, and Arbid also found a neighbor "for years" Feeding bears all the time.

Despite the size of the bear, Beary is still able to enter the crawl space without making too much noise, Arbid said. But when he does hit the pipe under the house, often on the way to midnight snacks, Arbid's dogs go crazy. This forces Arbid and his wife to give up their bedroom and sleep in the study with their dog. According to the Wildlife Department, dangerous encounters with black bears are rare in California, but they can be "unpredictable."

Then the fire came, Qiaomu was forced to evacuate, and the problem of Xiangxiong had not been solved yet. Arbid's neighbor gave the name of the tenant downstairs.

The fire was included after the fire, and the gas company let Arbid know that they could not reopen his service because they had a huge bear on their way.

This is when Arbid meets his lucky break. Before the fire, authorities told him that the bear was his problem. But now his home is in the emergency recovery area, the California Wildlife Department is coming to help remove the bears.

Kevin Howells, an environmental scientist in the department, evaluated the situation and believed the bear was too big to calm down and dragged out of the crawling space gate. So Howells went to a local supermarket and got the ingredients for a feast that seduced the bear from its hiding place, and then entered a cage near the home: barbecue chicken, sardines and peanuts - Bart - Feel the apple.

As the department explained on its Instagram account: "Within a few minutes of placing the trap, the bear came out of the crawling space, walked in and triggered the trap door. The bear was transported into the trap and entered the Angeles National Forest, And welfare checks, GPS charges, and measurements were made before safely released after midnight.”
