A Michigan man trying to roast a bear in an oven burned down his garage.
Joe Gorzynski lost not only the bear, the oven and the garage - which he built shortly after he bought his house six years ago --but his fishing equipment, his tools and some animal heads mounted on the wall.
Firefighters from three departments unsuccessfully battled the flames. The blaze was hot enough to melt some of Gorzynski's vinyl shutters and his neighbor's siding.
Steve Vandervest, chief of the Hamlin Fire Department, said the bear roast was probably what caused the fire. He told the newspaper he has seen fires caused by turkey fryers but this is his first caused by a roasting bear.
"This was a new one," he said.
