The Beltrami County Sheriff's Office received a call about 12:30 p.m. on Saturdayabout an explosion in Waskish Township, on the northeast end of the lake, more than 2 miles from shore.

According to Sheriff Ernie Beitel, four people were in the fish house, using a propane heater, when they heard a hissing noise. After they turned off the valve on the tank, a fireball filled the ice house.
