Lightning Sparks Morning Barn Fire, Possibly Hits School

May 16, 2010

A lightning strike was believed to have sparked a barn fire Sunday morning in Molino, and lightning may have struck a North Escambia middle school.

The fire in the 4400 block of Crabtree Church Road was reported about 5:45 a.m.  A resident reported that they believed lightning hit the barn. The fire was quickly extinguished.

Just before 6:00 a.m. Sunday, fire units responded to Ransom Middle School in Cantonment after a possible lightning strike activated the facility’s fire alarm. No damage was reported.
