VIDEO: Lightning sparked a house fire in a neighborhood southwest of 91st Avenue and Lower Buckeye Road, the Tolleson and Phoenix fire departments confirmed Wednesday morning.
It happened just after 5 a.m. The initial report was flames coming from inside a vent.
When firefighters arrived on the scene, nothing was visible on the outside of the two-story home. When crews went inside, they found light smoke on the second floor and discovered a small fire in the attic, which they quickly extinguished, the Phoenix Fire Department said.
The family had evacuated before firefighters got there, and no injuries were reported.
