Explanation:

[STC001605] Smokey the Bear is more than simply a made-up cartoon for preventing forest fires. The true Smokey was an orphaned cub who was rescued from a forest fire in the Capitan Mountains of New Mexico in 1950. A young bear cub was found walking by itself close to the fire line before climbing a tree for protection as forest rangers and fire crews arrived at the scene of the rapidly growing fire. Following the fire, firemen located the cub and attended to his burn injuries; the rescue incident quickly made national news. The cub was subsequently relocated to the National Zoo in Washington, D.C., where it became a physical representation of Smokey the Bear. He was buried in Capitan, New Mexico’s Smokey Bear Historical Park after passing away in 1976.
