Lightning Strikes Germantown Home | Milwaukee News

A lightning strike likely sparked a devastating early Friday morning house fire in Germantown, igniting near the chimney and ripping through the attic and roof. Fire crews battled the blaze for three hours before it was contained — leaving significant damage but avoiding total loss. Authorities are still investigating, but the stormy weather makes lightning the prime suspect. A sobering reminder of nature’s unpredictable power — and hope all residents came out unscathed.
