I feel so bad for the homeowners, luckily no one was home at the time of fire, as they were up North.

You/we live in the lightening capital of the US. Twenty years ago when they ran gas line into the attics and lightening hit a house, it would burn the entire structure if wood framed and entire roof if it was block and stucco. Then they went to all electric. So, if you have plastic gas lines in your attic, you will be susceptible to serious damage if hit by lightening.
