Wis. Trooper saves family from carbon monoxide poisoning - WQOW TV: Eau Claire, WI NEWS18 News, Weather, and Sports
Excerpting: "However, after the tow truck arrived and the operator began to remove the vehicle, the driver became unresponsive. Upon closer look at the car, all five persons were unconscious and unresponsive. The tow truck operator, Pat Brauner, of Brauners Towing in Black River Falls and Trooper Larson immediately removed the occupants from the vehicle. At Larsons request, Brauner began chest compressions on the female driver and Trooper Larson performed CPR on all three children, ages 2, 4 and 6, until they became responsive. The female passenger was breathing and was not in as serious condition as the others."

Excerpting: "While the fire was contained to the ceiling above the kitchen, the smoke alarms didn’t go off because the smoke was in the attic where it wasn’t detected by the smoke sensors."
