Another death in the news. Carbon monoxide poising in a tent caused by a dying down barbecue in or near their tent. Even if it looks like its out keep it out .
There seems to be at least one a year so the message clearly isn't getting through. Please tell anyone you know that are planning on going on a camping trip, especially if they're first timers. By spreading the words we could save lives.
