Propane tanks were struck by lightning and burst into flames at Beaver Lakefront Cabins in Eureka Springs, according to Grassy Knob Fire Chief Bob McVey,
The huge fire forced guest evacuations shortly after 1:30 a.m. on Sunday (Oct. 22).
Initially, the call was reported as trees on fire; however, approaching the scene it appeared it was more than trees on fire, according to McVey.
"While responding, one could see that the sky was orange," wrote McVey on Facebook, "fire was nearly 40 feet high above the trees and roaring like a jet engine."
