Update from the Pioneer Press (St. Paul, MN paper)
Looks like it may have been the genny with the exhaust pointed under the skirted trailer. So sad!!!

Your "sticks and bricks" house should also have proper venting, including a vented roof.
I don't do construction. The roof vents are above the insulation and the vapor barrier. There main purpose is to keep the roof from sweating and then ice builds up under the shingles and loosens them. I don't think it has anything to do with venting the house to keep CO low. The only "proper" venting in this old house are the drafts that come in around the doors and windows. :B
