Why do I always hear fire trucks in a thunderstorm?

Question

This week in Boston we've been having lots of thunderstorms, sometimes three times a day. I notice that about 10 minutes into each storm, I hear all the fire trucks wailing down the street. I doubt that houses are catching on fire (I'd hear about it) and that power lines are going down in my area, especially not multiple times a day. Also, I don't live near the fire house, so they're definitely in my area.

Does anyone know why the fire trucks drive around with the sirens on every time there is a thunderstorm?

Simple, there are many more wrecks in the rain.

Answer 2

trees conduct lightning and lightning can cause fire

Answer 3

Thunderstorms breed fire tucks

Answer 4

Besides lightning, tornados, rain, hail and wind Maybe people have heart attacks during the storm or they get scared to death. Who knows!
