Lightening Strike!

Wow! Yes we were coming down canal and saw some smoke and when we approached, we could see the house on fire. Flames coming out of the roof, but as we came around we could see the ceiling was already coming down inside.
What I don't understand, and maybe someone can explain, is there was at least 6 firetrucks and no one appeared be be in a hurry to do anything!!! Now, I'm sure they have their reasons, but I was wondering why they didn't appear to be jumping into action???
From what I know is that the woman that lives there is out of the country in Argentina. So, thank God, no one was inside (no pets either) and no one was hurt.
But, those flames were dangerously close to the neighbors on both sides. I would have been a nervous wreck! It's just awful.
When we were coming home from dinner, the smoke was still billowing and we did then see firemen with the hoses.
It's very scary. We saw a couple of lightening hits in the field across from us also.

The gas line in the attic blew. The firemen could do nothing until the gas was turned off.
