Here are the top three stories in Toledo today:

1. An East Toledo home caught fire yesterday morning for the second time after also catching fire in May. Fire officials responded to the call at 845 Oak St. around 3:30 a.m. The cause of the fire is under investigation but neighbors at the scene thought the house was supposed to be demolished after the first fire.

2. This week, a Cincinnati judge temporarily blocked Ohio's abortion ban, consequently giving the Toledo Women's Center more time to work with people in their decision-making. The judge brought the state back to the ruling before June's decision to ban abortion after six weeks. "Now, we go back to where we were before, where I can tell people that I see today, 'if you're not sure, we've got a month, we've got six weeks, to make up your mind what to do,' which gives them some relief to make what is often a very difficult decision," said Dr. David Burkons, the medical director for the Toledo Women's Center.

3. A man was arrested in West Toledo for popping wheelies on his motorcycle and speeding. La Relle Antoine Mack, 38, was arrested for reckless driving on Thursday after fleeing to a home on the 4000 block of Grantley Road. The arrest was made under Operation Blaser which aims to limit crime in neighborhoods. (WTVG)
