Grizzly Jumps on Yellowstone Hotshot
A grizzly bear escaping a wildland fire in Yellowstone had a slight altercation with a Firefighter...but he wasn't seriously hurt....neither was the Firefighter. Thankfully, Firefighter Tony Allabastro was treated and released at a medical clinic in the park on Sunday after this CLOSE CALL and clearly unbearable situation. Sorry. Firefighter Allabastro is a member of the Lewis and Clark Hotshots from Great Falls, Mont. The crew is among those battling the 4,700-acre fire near Fishing Bridge in Yellowstone. Fortunately FF Allabastro only suffered some scratches on his back after the bear jumped on him...officials believe that the bear wasn't being aggressive and apparently just wanted to get away from the fire.
So apparently the bear just wanted to get the heck out of there and ran that dude over. Nice. I wonder if either of them even had time to figure out what happened. Oh well.

Iwould imagine those Fire Fighter run into a lot of critters while fighting fires in the deep woods.
Love.
Apparently hotshots have to "bear" a few things other firefighters don't usually have to deal with...
I never thought about all the animals trying to escape the wild fires. That poor guy probably never knew what hit him!! And you're sitting in Brentwood squirting KIDS with your hose....LOL
Love ya!!
That's crazy!! Yep, his bad day is worse than any I've encountered!!
