Lightning Strike Blamed In Rural Muskogee County House Fire

A rural Muskogee County home near Haskell was destroyed by fire Thursday morning.

SkyNews6 was looking for flooding when it spotted what was left of the burning home.   The home is located on 184th Street West, south of County Line road.

Haskell Fire Chief Caleb Brewer says they got a 911 call just after 4 a.m., but said flooded roads delayed their response. 

Brewer said no one was home at the time and he believes the fire was started by a lightning strike.

There were no injuries.
