Lightning Strikes Twice: Fire Again Ravages Burned-Out Middlesex Home Under Renovation

A fire on Saturday severely damaged a Middlesex County house that was gutted by a blaze earlier this year.

The fire began in the basement of the Charles Street home in Metuchen shortly before 3:30 p.m., responders said.

Firefighters made quick work of the flames in the basement, but the fire spread up the walls, they said. No serious injuries were immediately reported.

A couple who owns the home lost their cat and all their belongings in a Jan. 22 fire that began on the front porch and destroyed the house.
