Lightning is to blame for two house fires in northern Hays County Monday night.
One of the fires occurred in the 15000 block of Fitzhugh Road, northeast of Dripping Springs. Flames broke out around 7 p.m. according to a neighbor.
The neighbor said because there were no fire hydrants in the area, firefighters had to haul water to the scene.

No injuries were reported.
