LAKE NEBAGAMON, Wis. – A maintenance crew member fell from a tower in Douglas County this morning, a county board supervisor told FOX 21 Monday evening.

“Our office was contacted by our Local Fire Department at 10:45AM with a request to have our Public Works Department provide assistance with plowing an efficient access to the incident for the incoming EMR services. I will have to refer you to the Douglas County Sheriff’s Department for further information.  Our thoughts and prayers as a community are with all of those affected.”
