A former Nome, Alaska fire chief was attacked and seriously mauled by a brown bear that he and some fellow spring hunters were tracking. It seems that the bear laid down in some deep snow and the man did not see it when he passed by on his snow mobile. when he was about 70 feet past, the bear rushed him. Wes Perkins, 54 is in a Seattle hospital in critical condition. Please read the rest of the story on the following community.adn.com link:.
