Crews were sent to a property after reports of it being struck by lightning hitting the roof. On arrival crews started checking the loft space using two breathing apparatus, one hose reel jet and one safety jet.
No fire was found in the property however the electrics had been damaged and there was an external transformer arcing, so Western Power were requested to also attend.
Crews ensured that the property, and immediate neighbouring properties were safe, using a thermal imaging camera.
