Bear crashes picnic
A black bear arrived at a birthday picnic in Mexico this week and gobbled up the food as Silvia Macías shielded her son, Santiago.

Check your smoke alarms!
Tūrangi Fire Brigade put out a catchy and important public safety announcement this week.

@turangifire Do you have working smoke alarms? 🔥🚨 We’ve teamed up with our local Police and Hato Hone St John colleagues to remind you to check your smoke alarms. 🚒🚓🚑 A fire can be fatal within three minutes, and you can’t smell smoke when you’re asleep. Working smoke alarms are the most important way to prepare for the possibility of a fire! 🔥 #tūrangifire #tgifirey #tūrangiproud #nz #newzealand #firetok #firefightertiktok #firefighter #firefighters #smokealarmssavelives
