What to do if lightning strikes

•First, evacuate the home if you suspect there is fire
•Second, call 911 and report the lightning strike.
•Third, be sure working smoke detectors are in your home at all times; they can possibly alert a neighbor to a problem if you are not home. And if the smoke detectors are connected to a monitored home protection system, they can get help on the way more quickly.
• Fourth, make sure your address is well-posted and visible to arriving firefighters.
