Archived: Summer Storm Causes Garage to Catch Fire
A Sunday night fire burned down a garage after a summer storm rolled through.
Stearns County Sheriff Don Gudmundson says just before 10:30 a.m. fire crews were sent to a garage fire in St. Farming Township. The St Martin Fire department says lightning struck the TV antenna on top of the garage which followed a wire into the garage setting it on fire.
The lightning caused the garage door to buckle in three separate places. Homeowner’s 50-year-old Robert and 46-year-old Deeanna Kulzer were not home during the fire.
