In late August 2026, hikers in the San Gabriel Mountains near La Verne, California, discovered a mother black bear and her two cubs trapped inside a water cistern. The distressed animals were heard vocalizing from within the structure. Responding wildlife officials and fire crews spent several hours carefully executing a rescue operation.
Specialized equipment and techniques were employed to safely extract the bears one by one. After their successful liberation, the bear family was reunited and assessed for injuries. Fortunately, all three appeared to be in good condition and were subsequently released back into their natural habitat in the San Gabriel Mountains.
