A fire this morning destroyed a house on the Bay Mills Indian Reservation.
The call came in just after 7a.m. for a report of a structure fire at 11153 West Lakeshore Drive just west of Brimley.
There was no one inside the house when the fire started. However, four dogs and one cat were killed in the fire according to a resident that lives at that address.
This fire was located in Superior Township, where just last week the township board fired the fire chief resulting in the the volunteer firefighters walking out as a result.
Superior Township Volunteer Fire Department is located about 1.5 miles from this house fire. Bay Mills Volunteer Fire Department is around 8 miles away. Dafter Township Volunteer Fire Department is about 11 miles. Soo Township Volunteer Fire Department is 13 miles.
Most of the Superior Township Volunteer Fire Department now work for surrounding volunteer fire departments and were on the scene of this destructive fire.
Soo Township, Bay Mills Township and Dafter Township Volunteer fire departments all responded along with Bay Mills Emergency Connection, Sault Tribal Police, Bay Mills Police and the Michigan State Police.
