Guess who has a lightning protection system installed? Yes that's right, THE FIRE HOUSE does! See for yourself - on Bonita right off Buena Vista.

I think these systems are definitely worth considering, and if you think deed restrictions are an issue look around. I did, after the fire, and there are houses EVERYWHERE with protection systems.
