Saturday morning storms brought heavy rain, flash flood warnings and for one Edison home, fire.
Lighting hit a home causing a fire on the attic and roof around 7:20 a.m., according to a release from the Edison Division of Fire. The two-story home located on Sarah Court was left temporarily uninhabitable because of the blaze, Edison Fire Capt. Andy Toth said.
The family later told authorities they would make their own temporary living arrangements during repairs, authorities said.
Family members told firefighters that after smelling smoke upstairs they quickly left the house.
Tooth said firefighters used thermal imaging cameras to detect and extinguish the fire inside the roof, attic walls and second-floor ceiling
