A family of four in Highlands Ranch was put out of their home this afternoon when a rogue lightning strike set their roof on fire.
No other strikes were reported.
Three family members were home at 3:40 p.m. when the bolt hit, said Littleton Fire Rescue operations chief Roland Seno.
The home wasn’t a total loss, but the fire caused extensive damage, as flames had pierced through the roof as crews arrived at 3304 White Oak St. south of Highlands Ranch Parkway.
The American Red Cross is helping the family find a place to stay, the organization said. Their names were not released.
