Hi I recently read a post concerning lightning strikes. I am a retired fire investigator. I will be traveling out of town to examining a house fire soon. The opposing parties are claiming that lightning struck a chimney and transferred the charge to the gas supply lines of a fireplace and initiated a fire. NFPA 78 seems to be unclear about gas lines being grounded as this may cause more problems that it would solve. What is the proper manner to bond the gas lines. I was contacted by a representative the gas line installer.
