[QUOTE=MidWestIA;2344117]My friend had a lightning rod it got hit and started a fire in the attic[/ youQUOTE]
Could provide more details. Where and when did this happen? Was there a failure of the gas line in the attic caused by a direct or indirect lightning strike?. Was the gas line grounded at the manifold and at the entry point into the home? Was the system installed by a UL listed firm that employs Master Installers who have passed the requirements of the Lightning Protection Institute? Was the system maintained as called for in NFPA-780 the national standard on lightning? Was any qualified expert called in to investigate the failure?
