Photos: Tree catches fire after lightning strike in Millbury, appears to burn from inside
“There was a steady breeze blowing right into the opening of the tree, basically fanning the fire."
A tree in Millbury was struck by lightning during a weekend thunderstorm, and firefighters shared photos of the burning spectacle. The Millbury Fire Department responded to Clearview Country Club shortly before 5 a.m. Sunday for “a tree on fire,” according to a Facebook post from the department. The tree had been struck by lightning during the night and was “burning deeply,” creating a pit of ash at the base.
