A woman rescued from a fire at the West Toledo home she owns was in serious condition last night in Mercy St. Vincent Medical Center.

The fire was reported just after midnight yesterday at the two-story home in the 4200 block of Roanoke Road. Firefighters rescued Margaret Affolter from the residence.

Battalion Chief William Sulewski said a candle on a table might have caused the fire. The loss from the fire was estimated at $20,000.
