SAN ANTONIO – A lightning strike is the suspected cause of a fire at home on the city’s Northeast Side late Monday night, San Antonio firefighters said.
The fire was called in around 10:45 p.m. at a home in the 4300 block of Jeffs Farm, not far from both Seguin Road and Binz-Engleman Road.
Firefighters said they arrived to find flames coming from the home. Lightning had struck the house and caused a small fire in the attic, fire officials said.
Firefighters were able to put the fire out quickly and without incident. A man living inside the home managed to get out safely but he was displaced for at least the night, fire officials said.
