- Carbon monoxide can cause serious health issues for people.

It reduces oxygen delivery to the body's organs and tissues and at extremely high levels, can cause death.

A phone call to a heating repair company likely saved the life of two Northwoods residents.

Frasier's Plumbing, Heating and Cooling hopes the experience will serve as a note of caution for other homeowners.

On Wednesday night Frasier's got call from a man with boiler issues.

The caller said something had been wrong for about three days.

"We're having problems with our heater. It's making really [weird] sounds, the house is dropping in temperature and both my wife and myself have extremely bad headaches. We're thinking we have a carbon monoxide leak," said the caller.

A woman inside the home was unconscious when a Frasier's service technician got there.

The tech called 911 and the couple was taken to an area hospital. The woman was later flown to Marshfield.

The Frasier's technician found extremely high levels of carbon monoxide both outside and inside the home.
