Firefighters battling an Upper Peninsula fire that has been burning for more than three weeks have been encountering black bears

Thats kinda like saying drivers on detroit expressways are encountering heavy traffic.......

Detroit expressways = heavy traffic

Upper Peninsula = lots of woods and bears

Lake Superior = lots of water

Drove through there with the wife last week while on vacation. We were completely unaware that there was a fire situation until we were driving through the forest. Did not see any bears except for a couple who were going through picnic baskets at a nearby campground. I believe I heard one bear wearing a porkpie hat call it a pic-a-nic basket. The other bear who wore bowtie didn’t say anything.

Fire officer Keith Murphy added that, “...the hardest part of the job is getting these bears to hold still while we weigh them.”
