COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (CBS4) - Colorado Springs firefighters get their share of calls for cats stuck in a tree... but this call was slightly different.
They responded to a tree near Memorial Park where a bear cub wasn't too interested in coming down.
Every time the firefighters tried to get to it, it would just climb higher.
