BOZEMAN — Bozeman firefighters say a house had to be evacuated after a can of bear spray ended up in the wrong place.

The Bozeman Fire Department sent three trucks to a home on Annie Street Tuesday afternoon after getting calls about a possible explosion.

According to crews, that turned out to come from a can of bear spray that was in an oven when it was preheating.

Firefighters quickly ventilated the home and made sure no one was hurt.
