Minnesota State Fire Marshal 

“What price do you put on a life?”
That’s the question Denice Johnson wants you to think about next time you go ice fishing. Her son Jared, a 34-year-old father of two and firefighter from Akeley, Minnesota, died from carbon monoxide poisoning in January 2016 in an ice house with heating units that weren’t properly ventilated. The ice house — converted from a camper — didn’t have carbon monoxide alarms.
If you’re a fan of ice fishing, buy a CO alarm and be aware of the dangers of carbon monoxide.
