Lightning sparks house fire in Sandwich

SANDWICH – A strong thunderstorm caused several lightning strikes on the upper Cape. A bolt struck a house at 13 Buckingham Drive in Sandwich shortly after 2 AM causing a small fire in the attic. The occupant escaped the house and firefighters quickly knocked down the flames. Minutes later another bolt struck a home at 9 Jeannes Way in the Forestdale section of town. Reports say the hit caused a television set to explode. Fortunately there was no fire and no one was injured. Several other possible strikes kept Sandwich and Mashpee busy resetting alarms and checking buildings out.
