Lightning Strikes NE Bend Duplex

Bend.Fire.STOCK.3BEND, OR — Firefighters were called to NE Bend Monday evening after a duplex was struck by lightning.  Investigators said the lightning caused a power surge that went into a neighboring four-plex on NE Nikki Ct., sparking a small fire.  The surge in power caused material in the crawl space to ignite, causing about $5,000 in damage.  The duplex sustained minor roof damage from the strike.

Bend Fire has tips to stay safe during lightning storms.  Visit BFD’s Website to learn more.
