Home burned to ground by lightning strike. Timberline Fire set up a command at 119 and South Beaver as they begin searching for the house that caught fire due to a lightning strike. Smoke from the house fire as seen from 119 proved difficult to find due to the remote location. The National Forest Service as well as Ned Fire and Coal Creek Fire responded to the house fire. Lightning from the recent storm struck the home and had yet to be documented at the time it caught the house on fire.
