A lightning strike on a multi-family residence in Julius-Specht Street, Pforzheim-Dillweißenstein, sparked a fire at approximately 9 PM on Saturday evening. The quick response of the local fire department managed to contain the blaze, preventing it from spreading to other parts of the building.
According to an eyewitness, the lightning strike was visible as it hit the roof of the house, followed by smoke shortly after. Fortunately, no injuries were reported during the incident.
