CHARLESTOWN –– A cold front that moved through Rhode Island Friday afternoon bringing showers and thunderstorms kept South County police and firefighters busy for nearly two hours.

In Charlestown, two burglar alarms were set off by the storm shortly after 4 p.m. and firefighters were called after lightning struck a shed at 27 Partridge Run, setting it on fire. No one was hurt.

While the Charlestown Fire District battled that fire, the Dunn’s Corners Volunteer Fire Department, which serves parts of Charlestown and Westerly, provided mutual aid to the Hope Valley-Wyoming and Carolina-Richmond Fire Departments, which had multiple calls of alarms set off by the passing storm, Charlestown Police Lt. Patrick J. McMahon said.

At 4:27 p.m., Charlestown police and fire responded to a lightning strike at the Narragansett Indian Health Center, on Route 2 across from Charlestown Town Hall. Dunn’s Corners assisted.

McMahon said firefighters found some charring on one of the building’s walls but no fire.

Elsewhere in the state, a stream of accidents were reported, none believed serious, along with minor urban and poor drainage flooding.
