Bears Roam Empty City as Residents of South Lake Tahoe Flee Caldor Fire

After the Caldor fire prompted the evacuation of 22,000 residents of South Lake Tahoe, California, bears in the area decided to start patrolling the empty area. With people inhabiting the area gone, garbage service temporarily stopped last week, and flames blazing through their region, bears dug through refuse cans in the resort town and made their way into homes searching for food.
