Another Fire Caused By Lightning

Another Fire Caused By Lightning

Local crews responded to a house fire at 1134 Turkey Hill Road Sunday afternoon that damaged about 80 percent of the structure. Nathan Ramsey, Rockbridge County fire-rescue chief, said that lightning appears to have struck the house during a storm. The house, he said, is not normally occupied and no one was there at the time. Departments that responded were Kerrs Creek Fire and EMS, Lexington Fire and EMS, Rockbridge Baths Fire, Buena Vista Fire, South River Fire and Rockbridge County Fire-Rescue. According to the Rockbridge Baths Fire Department, the original structure was a log cabin that had several additions, which complicated firefighting efforts. The fire was extinguished and all crews cleared after about four hours on scene. This is the third time in recent weeks that lightning was believed to be the cause of local structure fires.
