A possible lightning strike set a High Springs home on fire Saturday evening.

According to a High Springs Fire Department (HSFD) release, units responded to 16264 NW 202 Drive in the High Springs’ Weston Oaks neighborhood to the report of a fire alarm activation around 9 p.m.

Firefighters arrived on scene at 9:06 p.m. at the 2,200-square-foot home and, due to weather conditions and the size of the structure, HSFD called for additional assistance from Alachua County Fire Rescue’s Heavy Rescue 23.
