Bear, cub killed in fire they started

FOREST FALLS, Calif. -- A mother bear and cub died in a fire they started after breaking into a home in a San Bernardino National Forest mountain community to look for food.

A 300-pound black bear and her cub entered the house through an open front window Sunday afternoon , fire spokeswoman Tracey Martinez said.

The bears knocked down a living room lamp, sparking the fire, but continued to the kitchen in search of food.
