LIGHTENING has been blamed for a fire starting inside a home on Thursday afternoon (December 10).
Firefighters were called to Justice Kelly Street in Forde to battle a house blaze.
People were evacuated and the street had to be closed.
Early investigations from the ACT Fire and Rescue indicate lightening “may have been the cause of a small fire”.
The occupants were not harmed after the fire was contained to only the roof.
The street was reopened immediately after crews deemed it safe and left the scene.
