Investigators say lightning started a fire that destroyed a home in Chippewa County overnight.

It happened in the town of Lafayette near Lake Wissota. Crews say lightning hit the home, and a fire smoldered in the attic before spreading.

Firefighters say a sheriff's deputy driving by saw the fire and called for help.

Crews responded at about 1:45am.

Nobody was in the house at the time and nobody was hurt.

Firefighters say the home is a total loss.
