A 78-year-old man was rescued south of Algoma on Lake Michigan's shores after falling off an 80-foot cliff on Thursday.  Algoma Fire Department Captain Wayne Schmidt says the call came in about 12:30 pm.  Upon arriving at the scene at N6238 Highway 42, Schmidt says Algoma Police Chief Randy Remiker was attending to the victim at the bottom of the cliff.  He describes how they were able to transport the man to safety.

Schmidt notes the man showed no signs of injuries other than being cold and shivering before being transported to a Green Bay hospital.  According to Schmidt, the Algoma Fire Department was familiar with the rescue area since they had a similar incident in the same location last fall.
