House Struck By Lightning
By Firefighter Robert Edwards
May 27, 2008
While Deputy 47 was investigating an auto accident on Route 100, Fireboard dispatched the company at 2110 hours to the 500 Block of William Salesbury Drive, for an odor investigation inside the dwelling.
Engine 47-2 was already out of the station on a refueling run with a crew of 5 and responded immediately. Deputy and Chief 47 arrived on location determining it to be a lightning strike to the dwelling.
Lionville crews checked for any extension in the attic space.
The company operated just under an hour before returning available.
