Lightning causes house fire on St. George Island

Lightning has been ruled the cause of a house fire on St. George Island Friday morning.
Volunteer fire crews from St. George Island and Eastpoint were called out just after 11 AM Friday to a home on 331 Howell Street.
Luckily no one was in the home at the time of the fire – the residents were across the street.
St. George Island fire chief Jay Abbot said firefighters were able to save some of the structure and belongings but the damage to the 2 story wooden structure was severe.
He said the fire marshal’s office ruled lightning as the cause.

He also thanked the Eastpoint Volunteer Fire Department for their assistance.
