Lightning Strike

Most Fires can be prevented…but when dealing with Mother Nature you just need to be prepared and hope for the best. Which is why prevention (what not to do) + awareness (what to do) is so important.

Last night we had a wicked lightning storm roll through the city about 2300 hrs. Just towards the tail end we picked up a mutual aid call for Chanhassen requesting our Tower. Upon arrival this two-story residential home had smoke rolling out of the ‘melting’ roof vents. Even without visible flames it was impressive how warm the roof felt inside the bunker pants. I am not even sure how involved the interior was but I think the group did a great job at knocking it down and preventing a significant loss.
