    Authorities are investigating after a home was struck by lightning on Thursday afternoon.

    According to the Kingston Fire Department, the strike happened just before 12:30 p.m. at a house on West Street.

    Two off-duty Duxbury firefighters were reportedly next door and alerted responding crews of a fire in the attic.
