A family is displaced after their East Side home caught fire following a lightning strike, according to the San Antonio Fire Department.
When firefighters arrived, they found flames coming from the roof of the two-story home.
With the help of several other fire departments, firefighters were able to get control quickly without overworking themselves in the extreme heat.SAFD said the homeowner, who was there when the fire broke out, thought the strike was simply a power outage and went outside to check on the neighborhood. That’s when they saw the fire and debris falling from the roof.
The home suffered extensive damage and it will require renovations to be liveable again. SAFD estimated the damage to be about $85,000.Copyright 2023 by KSAT - All rights reserved.Victoria Lopez is a Digital Journalist at KSAT.
