A series of lightning strikes caused a couple of house fires and other damage across central Bucks County. One firefighter was treated for heat exhaustion. In Hilltown, a home on Paige Trail was struck by lightning on its roof. Smoke spewed from the garage section of the home. Firefighters removed a three foot by three foot section of the roof to help battle the blaze. Five fire companies assisted. The fire was contained to the attic and the second floor master bedroom of the house. In Solebury Township, the chimney of a house on Brighton Way was struck by lightning. The lightning traveled down into the basement where a fire was ignited. Four fire companies battled the blaze for two and a half hours. The fire was contained to one area of the house, but caused heavy smoke damage throughout. The house was expected to be uninhabitable for a few days. Also in Solebury Township, a lightning strike caused a transformer fire. In Warrington Township, another lightning strike damaged a home's chimney. In New Britain Township, lightning struck a PECO Energy substation. U.S. Route 202 was closed as firefighters battled the blaze. One firefighter was treated for heat exhaustion. The combination of damaging winds and lightning strikes caused about 30,000 homes and businesses to lose power in Bucks and Montgomery Counties.
