Firefighters respond to attic fire after storm

CENTER TWP - Firefighters put out a small attic fire this afternoon that was possibly caused by a lightning strike.

The damage was limited, and Wulff said the residents would likely be able to return to their homes today.

Shortly before the fire, a strong thunderstorm had passed through the area. Tuesday afternoon's storms caused 366 power outages in Butler County, according to West Penn Power.

Unionville was assisted by the Butler Township, Oneida Valley and Mercer Road fire departments.
