A lightning strike on a property in Hayle last night, blew a hole in the building and took out the family's television set.
Twelve firefighters from Camborne and Hayle were sent to the property just after 9.30pm after it was reported a hole had been blown in the television and there was a smell of burning in the property. On the crews' arrival, there was no fire but an inspection of the home revealed a hole had been blown in the building, Western Power was requested to attend the property to make the electrics safe and advice was given by firefighters to residents in the area before they left.
