Fire did heavy damage to a couple of townhomes in Oakwood Thursday morning, according to Hall County Fire Capt. Zachary Brackett.
He said crews were called to the 4700 block of Crawford Oaks Drive around 5:00 a.m. and found the multi-family unit on fire.
Brackett said it appears the fire started in an unoccupied unit.
"The cause of this fire has been ruled accidental and attributed to a lightning strike last (Wednesday) night," Brackett stated Thursday morning.
No injuries were reported. The Gainesville Fire Department also responded to the fire.
