THREE PEOPLE PASS AWAY AFTER LIGHTNING STRIKE CAUSES HOUSE FIRE IN TENNESSEE. (PHOTO).


 Three people, including a 7-year-old boy and an 18-year-old pregnant teen, pass away after lighting strike causes house fire.


Fire crews were called to a house fire last Thursday around 8 a.m. in Lawrenceburg, Tennessee. 


Crews arrived to a full blown inferno and quickly got to work extinguishing the fire.


Sadly, as crews sorted through the debris they discovered 28-year-old Travis Wissner, 18-year-old Elizabeth Brown; who was pregnant, and 7-year-old Jackson Wissner deceased.


Officials noted the home seemed to not have any smoke detectors. They have ruled the fire most likely resulted from a lightning strike and speculate the victims were sleeping and never knew they were in danger.


Our thoughts are with the families affected by this heartbreaking incident.
