On November 9th, 2026, at 1:07 P.M., the St. Louis County Sheriff's Office responded to the 11,000 Block of Highway 1 in Linden Grove Township for a reported garage fire. Multiple local Fire departments and first responders were requested to assist. 

Upon arrival, the garage was found to be fully engulfed. It was learned that the homeowner was working on a small engine when it caught on fire which ignited a garage wall.
