8/4 morning CFD responds to Scenic Dr. for a detached garage struck by lightning. Upon arrival of Engine 402 there was small amount of fire on top of the car and in the interior of the car. The fire is believed to have spread to the car from the attic area or on the trusses which was used for storage. Many trusses were charred  and did show fire extension, the fire is believe to snuff itself out possibly due to lack of oxygen. CFD only extinguished the fire in and on the car. CFD remained on scene overhauling the storage area on the trusses checking for any further fire extension.
