On the evening of September 25, a lightning strike hit the home of Battalion Fire Chief Brian Johnson, a DOD firefighter at Eglin Air Force Base. The fire started around 6:30 p.m. during an evening thunderstorm.
"I heard the breaker trip in the laundry room, so I went and checked on it, and then I started walking around the house to see if I noticed the power being out or if anything was scorched or damaged,"
Brian said. He immediately called 911 after finding smoke pouring from the breaker box.
The community has rallied in support of the Johnsons, with an outpouring of assistance from neighbors, firefighters, and strangers.
