Lightning sparked an attic fire at a residence in the 3800 block of Cool Springs Point around 8 p.m. The fire was quickly extinguished by first-arriving crews, but caused damage to the attic, roof and second floor. The occupants were safe outside when firefighters arrived. No injuries were reported.

Firefighters were dispatched at 10:48 p.m. to a house in the 160 block of Garden Manor Court, where an SUV had caught fire and reportedly spread quickly to the house. Crews found heavy flames coming from the garage and second floor when they arrived.

No one was home at the time of the fire. No other injuries were reported.

The fire caused heavy damage to the house and vehicle, and some moderate cosmetic damage to the siding of a neighboring house, from radiant heat.

Investigators were working to determine the cause of the fire.
