On her first day of work, she was told to drive up to the busy Tunnel Mountain campground near the townsite and block off a road where a female grizzly bear was eating an elk carcass.
Jumping out of her truck, Titchener followed her orders and directed people away from the site when she heard a bang, bang, pop, pop, sound.
The bear was barrelling toward her.

What happened next is a bit of a blur, but it stuck with her.
