Officials in Snohomish country though that a series of miniature fire was caused due to helium balloons but later the officials came to know that it was caused due to lightening strike on a transformer box. This event occurred at 10.00 A.M near 7700 block of 67th avenue west of Snohomish. Fire officials came because the jolt traveled from power pole to a metal fence to blow apart and hit a nearly house.

The women tried to escape from that house by climbing over the electrified fence because of which she got an electric shock but she was not injured. Nothing happened to the house. There were no power cuts in that area because surplus power is provided in case of emergencies. Summer brings lot of problems to power lines and transformer boxes because birds fly into power lines.
