Wisconsin Public Service (WPS) advises deer hunters that heating systems in those cabins, campers, tents or shanties should be carefully inspected to ensure proper working condition and proper venting. A build-up of carbon monoxide (CO) can result if heating equipment is not operating efficiently and not vented properly. CO buildup is the most common cause of fatal poisoning in the state. Victims overcome by CO poisoning, can die in their sleep. WPS recommends having a CO and smoke detector in each shelter, particularly where hunters sleep.

Recycle and replace old batteries with new batteries in both CO and smoke detectors and be sure to test them to make sure they produce an audible warning sound. View full news release here.
