READING, Pa. - A man who had a pig roast in his basement was ordered to remove propane tanks and other cooking equipment after he and 13 others got carbon monoxide poisoning, authorities said.

Fire Marshal David A. Janiszewski said the citation issued to Rubin Cornejo, 57, does not carry a fine and added that he believes Cornejo made an honest mistake.

Janiszewski said Cornejo could be fined and face further legal action if he does not remove the equipment immediately, or if he has another pig roast in his home.

I hate to say it. The government does need to be in the basement to tell people what to do.

This guy's name looks Mexican. We've had a lot of deaths here of Mexicans who have been keeping warm with charcoal in their houses. Are houses in Mexico not air tight?
