PHOTOS: The Caldwell Fire Department (CFD) on Wednesday morning responded to a call about a smoking roof. Upon arrival, crews were able to determine the cause: a lightning strike. Caldwell Fire took to Facebook to report that all residents of the home – including two people, two dogs and a cat – all made it out safely. The home suffered significant damage, according to CFB, so the local burnout fund will be assisting the family. “We’re grateful for a safe outcome and for the continued community support that helps families get through tough times like these,” Caldwell Fire said. Wednesday’s storm system was expected to last until early evening, with thunder and lightning present.
