Dozens of firefighters battled flames at a Tarpon Springs mansion Monday.
Officials believe the 9,000 square foot home was ignited by lightning.
Homeowner Michael Pikos was not home at the time, but three children, two dogs, two cats and a bird all made it out alive.
"Thank God nobody was hurt, that's the most important thing," said Pikos.
