SOUTH JERSEY -- Emergency crews have responded to two separate structure fires caused by lightning in South Jersey.

The first occurred in Milmay around 9 p.m. on Cannon Range Road. Lightning struck a garage, which was fully engulfed upon firefighters arrival. The homeowner told an NBC 40 photographer that he was extremely worried, because the garage is only a few feet away from his home. Thankfully, no one was injured. About 25 fire trucks responded to the blaze and are still on the scene at this time.

Officials also say lightning struck a home on Route 47 in Dennis Township.

We will update this story as more information becomes available.
