      Port Austin Fire fighters spent about 4 hours Sunday morning monitoring a gas-leak fire in Pointe Aux Barques at the Tip of the Thumb.   Fire Chief Don Zimmerman said lightning struck a tree and it went down and hit a gas main and blew it out of the ground, igniting the gas about 5am. A couple of nearby trees were burned, but the gas, shooting flames up to 20 feet in the air couldn't be extinguished until Consumers power crews came to the scene to shut the gas off at the source. There were no injuries.
