I don't believe the gas vent pipes themselves have previousy been implicated in any of the lightning/attic fires. I believe lightning struck elsewhere in the attic/roof/house and once the fire got into the attic it ignited the gas due to potential problem/defect with the connectors attached to the flexible gas pipe/hose. Again, this is my recollection of the issue that occurred in the past.
