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.

MILLVILLE---As flames rapidly ripped through a Millville home early Wednesday morning, fire crews and police were able to bring 5 residents to safety, including an elderly man, and multiple family pets.

The massive blaze destroyed a twin home on the 900 block of Buck Street around 3:30 Wednesday morning.
According to the fire chief, it's unclear how the fire started, which called for several fire companies to assist the Millville Fire Department.
The Red Cross and close friends are helping the family while they collect items that weren't ruined.

While the residents and most pets were saved, unfortunately two animals died.

A firefighter was injured battling the blaze as well.
