Investigators said they believe it started after some power lines were damaged in a storm.Hynes\u2019 house wasn\u2019t the only one impacted.\u201CWe\u2019re very lucky because I look at the box, it could\u2019ve sparked, caused a house fire,\u201D said neighbor Ann Smith.Smith has a melted box on the outside of her home where the current appears to have traveled. However, her house escaped a fire.Both Smith and Hynes said they feel fortunate.\u201CI can\u2019t give enough thanks to everybody,\u201D Hynes said. \u201CI really appreciated everything.\u201DHynes\u2019 home is being ventilated.
