ST. PETERSBURG — A roofer was taken to a local hospital Tuesday after he fell 10 to 12 feet at Woodlawn Elementary School.

A St. Petersburg Fire Rescue spokesman said the man fell from between two roofs and required rescue about 10 a.m. Crews were unable to use a ladder truck to help the stranded man because it wouldn't fit. They used a hydraulic lift already on site instead.

The man was taken to a local hospital, the spokesman said. The nature of his injuries was not released, but they were not believed to be life threatening.
