At 9:04 am this morning Lakewood fire department was dispatched for an odor of smoke in a residence with an update of smoke showing. The residents noticed the smoke detectors going off hours earlier but ignored it. Lakewood firefighters did an excellent job of quickly locating and extinguishing the fire in the attic. 7401 (engine) took care of interior while 7415 (ladder) handled roof operations. It was determined that the home was struck by lightning sometime during the early morning. This is a reminder that your smoke detectors are there for your safety and should not be ignored. Luckily it was caught in time and did not cause extensive damage to the home. Photo credit, thelakewoodscoop.com
