NAZARETH, Pa. — Firefighters and the Pennsylvania state Game Commission teamed up to catch a bear that was strolling through town.

The Associated Press reported that the 215-pound bear was reported by a witness; the bear was wandering around, but climbed a tree by the time the Game Commission responded.

The bear was tranquilized, and firefighters broke her fall in a tarp when the tranquilizer began to set in.

Although she tried to run away after falling from the tree, the bear eventually laid down and passed out.
