A bear spotted in Santa Clarita prompted a response from firefighters Sunday morning, only 2.6 miles away from another bear sighting reported Saturday, officials said. 

Around 10 a.m. Sunday, emergency responders received reports of a bear sighting on the 29000 block of Dune Lane in Canyon Country, according to Ed Pickett, a dispatch supervisor with the Los Angeles County Fire Department. 

“We’re on scene of a bear in a tree,” Pickett said. “We’re waiting for animal control and law enforcement to arrive.”

  1. People need to leave the bears alone. We live in their backyard. Respect them , view them from a distance, don’t feed them.
