A lightning strike set a mobile home ablaze over the weekend after a rare storm moved through Northern California Saturday.

A spokesperson for the sheriff’s department of Placer County, about 60 miles northeast of Sacramento, said no one was injured in the fire, which occurred in the town of Newcastle, but the event was a first for many, especially those living in the Castle City Mobile Home Park where the fire erupted.
