DALLAS<\/strong> – Lightning is likely to blame for several house fires in North Texas on Friday morning.<\/p>\n

Fires were reported in Frisco, Plano, Allen, and Dallas as storms were moving through the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex around 9 a.m.<\/p>\n

Frisco \"\" <\/p>\n

The Frisco Fire Department confirmed it responded to a 1-alarm fire at a single-family home on Possum Kingdom Drive. The house was severely damaged, but no one was injured.<\/p>\n

Viewer Gabrielle Laredo said he saw a strike of lightning hit the home near Panther Creek Parkway and the Dallas North Tollway. He shared video of flames later tearing through the home\u2019s roof.<\/p>\n

Plano \"\" <\/p>\n

Plano Fire-Rescue is investigating lightning as the possible cause of at least five fires in the city on Friday morning.\u00a0<\/p>\n

One of those fires was on Gull Lake Drive. The house was unoccupied, and no one was injured, but the flames damaged the home\u2019s attic and roof.<\/p>\n

Allen <\/p>\n

In Allen, a firefighter was injured while fighting a fire in the attic of a two-story home on Morrow Lane.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He reportedly fell through the ceiling while fighting the flames and suffered non-life-threatening injuries. He was taken to the hospital for treatment and an evaluation.<\/p>\n

Everyone else made it out of the house safely.<\/p>\n

While the fire marshal is still working to determine the cause of the fire, it is presumed to have been caused by lightning.<\/p>\n

Dallas <\/p>\n

And in North Dallas, a large fire was reported in the attic of a three-story home on Ash Bluff Lane.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Dallas Fire-Rescue issued four alarms, which meant more than 70 firefighters were called in to battle the blaze.<\/p>\n

It’s not yet clear if anyone was home at the time, but no injuries have been reported.<\/p>\n
