An off-duty Toledo firefighter involved in an alcohol-related, hit-skip  collision in West Toledo seven months ago admitted guilt Wednesday in Toledo  Municipal Court.

Paul Heiss, 31, of 2354 Charleston Ave. pleaded guilty to driving while  intoxicated, one of six charges he faced in the Dec. 30 crash involving two  other vehicles on West Sylvania Avenue near Douglas Road.

Judge Michelle Wagner imposed a 17-day jail sentence, but suspended all but  three days, which she ordered to be served in a drunken-driving remediation  program.
