“I was doing ‘Meet the Press’ and lightning struck a little pond behind my house, came up through the ground into the air conditioning system and ended up generating thick black smoke,” Biden said of the blaze at his home in Wilmington, Del. “And from the basement to the third floor, the attic, everything was ruined.
“And the kitchen floor — we almost lost a couple firefighters, they tell me, because the kitchen floor was — the burning between the beams and in the house in addition to, it almost collapsed into the basement,” the president added.
The president’s telling of the house fire has garnered scrutiny for years, including when Biden said last November, “I know, having had a house burn down with my wife in it — she got out safely, God willing — that having a significant portion of it burn, I can tell: 10 minutes makes a hell of a difference.”
However, at the time of the 2004 blaze, fire officials told the Associated Press that the lightning strike merely caused a small fire that was contained to the kitchen.
“Luckily, we got it pretty early,” Cranston Heights Fire Company Chief George Lamborn told the wire service, noting there were no injuries from the blaze.
The discrepancy was picked up by Washington Post fact-checker Glenn Kessler, who tweeted out the 2004 AP report after Biden spoke Tuesday.

"I got attacked by someone with a......a......one of those things.......a.......that you use with nails.....oh yeah, a hammer. He was screaming at me "Where's Jackie?". So I said out loud "Is Jackie here? I heard she was going to be here."
He was telling people to get a vaccine when all they needed was a diet and a gym membership. Turns out, being fat is the biggest risk to COVID than a healthy unvaxxed person.
