On March 23, firefighters from Center Point Fire & Rescue responded to an emergency at a residence located on Rabbit Trail Road, where a lightning strike had caused significant damage. The lightning struck indirectly, traveling through utility lines and resulting in a power outage for the home.
Upon arrival, the firefighters utilized a thermal imaging camera to inspect the structure for any signs of fire that may have resulted from the strike. After confirming that there were no active flames, the team remained on-site to ensure the safety of the property while utility services were restored. Once everything was checked and deemed secure, the firefighters concluded their operation.
