We had a lightning strike hit a big dogwood tree about 300 feet from our house. Hollowed out the tree and set the insides ablaze...kind of like a chimney fire. Called out the fire guys and they opted to cut it down and then to extinguish the tree center. I'm not sure what else could be done as this could have burned for days and spread. Even the constant rain downpour did nothing to put it out.

I did not get the tree falling as they made me stand well back out of video range.
