BENZIE - MANISTEE AREA UPDATE via Benzie Manistee Snowbirds >> The Snowbirds responded to a sled fire this after noon on trail 386 in Bear Lake. A 1998 Ski-Doo sled caught fire and burnt down on the trail. The Bear Lake fire department was called and put out the fire. The Snowbirds volunteers assisted with the sled and debris removal and tail clean up. The rider of the sled was not injured. #benzie #snowphotos Looks like the fire department was a bit late, lol.
