The Ormond Beach Fire Department responded to a fire at 5:15 p.m., May 15, at 133 University Circle on the beachside. They were able to suppress the fire and keep it contained to the attic but there was smoke and water damage throughout the house, according to a city spokeswoman.
The fire was apparently caused by a lightning strike. The property owners were out of town and there was no one in the home.
A fires crew from Volusia County also responded.
Property damage was estimated at $150,000. The house was purchased last year for $418,000, according to the spokeswoman.
