When lightning struck a gas meter in east Texas this week, it started a small fire in an ironic location: right next to a burn ban sign.

The Harrison County Fire Marshal’s Office on Wednesday shared a video that showed a gas meter along the side of a roadway engulfed in flames. Right next to it, a red sign warns residents that there is a burn ban in effect in the area due to hazardous fire conditions.

“Lightening [sic] strikes gas meter next to burn ban sign!! Apparently lightning can’t read or just doesn’t care,” the agency joked alongside the video.

At noon Wednesday, the burn ban was lifted for Harrison County thanks to the same bout of rain that brought the lightning.
