An injured bear cub is on the mend after firefighters rescued him from a Florida brush fire.
Lake County firefighters nicknamed the little guy Smokey Jr.
The cub was pulled to safety from a 220-acre brush fire that endangered homes on Thursday.
As firefighters cut fire lines in one area, flames kept popping up elsewhere, leaving behind a trail of ash.
Crews were able to save the at-risk homes that were surrounded by flames.
Firefighters said there was no sign of Smokey Jr’s mother in the area.
Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission officials are now evaluating the cub.
