Our Mount Clemens and New Baltimore team is on call and ready to respond to fire damage emergencies 24 hours a day, 365 days a year in Harrison Charter Township. Fires caused by lightning strikes can occur suddenly and with devastating impact. During thunderstorms, a lightning bolt can ignite a fire if it strikes a vulnerable part of a home or a nearby tree.

To mitigate this risk, homeowners can install a lightning protection system. These systems are designed to direct the energy of a lightning strike safely into the ground, preventing it from causing damage to the structure. It is also wise to ensure your home's electrical system is grounded correctly.

Another practical step to reduce the risk is to remove tall, isolated trees near your home, as these are often prime targets for lightning. Equally important, during a storm, it's crucial to unplug electronic devices and appliances. This simple action can prevent surge damages from any indirect strikes.

While you can't prevent lightning, you can significantly reduce the likelihood of a fire or other damage from a lightning strike, keeping your property and family safe.
