FREMONT - A Fremont man remained in serious condition at St. Vincent Mercy Medical Center in Toledo after he fell from a television antenna tower to the roof.

Wilma Standish, a Sandusky Township woman, hired David Bliss to take down the tower at her home. She called emergency crews Monday after finding that Mr. Bliss had fallen.

Lindsey volunteer firefighters responded to the emergency and used rope, ladders, and a backboard to get him down.

Mr. Bliss was taken to Fremont Memorial Hospital, then flown to Toledo.
