Severe weather brought lots of lightning to the Ozarks last night. One strike caused a small attic fire in Barry County. Quick action by the homeowner with a fire extinguisher proved effective.
An engine, tanker and ambulance responded to the scene to verify the fire was extinguished and look for hot spots.
Here is your reminder to check your household extinguishers and review your home fire safety plan.
