any sensible person would do this:
I live in Ohio
I want to have a fish farm
It gets cold in Ohio
Therefore, I should have a way of keeping my fish warm when it is cold. Something like electric submersible heaters. Not a wood stove in a barn.
Sounds like the guy was either unprepared for winter weather (surprise! it happens when all the leaves go away) or just plain dumb. whatever the reason, he took a cheap way out of the problem, and it cost him. Those fish got a lot warmer than he planned.
lol, from their website:
obviously not so successful anymore. "When your koi pond starts to freeze over, just build a small fire next to it".

instead of being a cheapskate he should have just bought a heater 
it's common sense fish+fire = dead fish.
