I would not agree with that. 

You may be right that the wires are melted fast enough to not carry the 
current, but lightning does not always need a wire. Air is often enough, 
and I guess, in this case, too. The house can still be burned down. A 
lightning hit is a rare event for a certain spot on earth, but if it 
happens, it is not funny.
