SALINEVILLE, Ohio - Firefighters in one Columbiana County community are asking people not to feed beer to a bear that was reported in the village.

According to the Salineville Village Facebook page, a few residents have reported seeing what appears to be a small black bear in the vicinity of Wick and Wood Streets on Wednesday.

The post goes on to advise residents to keep an eye on their children and pets and anything else that could be vulnerable.

Police say people should not approach the bear and report any sightings to them by calling 330-679-2322

The Salineville Volunteer Fire Department added its two cents with the following Facebook post:

Just a warning to residents, we would also like to add please don’t offer it honey, or Busch beer. our first responders are very good, however we would really prefer not to have our trauma skills tested.

There was no indication in the firefighter's post if someone actually tried to give the bear beer.
