Firefighters were called early Tuesday to the tree fire in the rural Ridgeville Township, located about 45 miles southwest of Toledo.

The Ridgeville Township Volunteer Fire Department shared photos of the tree, which showed glowing, red-hot flames spiraling up the trunk — while the outer branches appeared green and seemingly unaffected. "Lightning can do some crazy things and we had a tough time getting to every hot spot in this tree trunk," the fire department wrote.

A tree service was called in to help cut it down in order to fully extinguish the fire, according to the fire department. Other photos shared by fire officials showed the burned tree after the flames had been put out.
