A group of Australian firefighters got more than they bargained for when they came face-to-face with a black bear while helping to fight wildfires in Canada . The Queensland Rural Fire Service firefighters, on deployment in the Canadian province of Alberta, said they had been warned of bears in the area. But it was several weeks before they experienced their “antics” firsthand. “We were warned of bears and their antics,” one of the fireys, who preferred not to be identified, told 7 NEWS .
“We didn’t realise he was in there until we tried to load up the cars to go back to our accommodation,” the firey said. “Fun fact, bears can open car doors!” It is believed, after breaking into the third car, the wild animal became trapped when the fireys landed nearby in a helicopter after their day’s work fighting the fires. The rotor wash, or wind, from the helicopter blew the car door closed on the bear, trapping it inside.
