Garage Fire in Eagan Prompts Second-Alarm Response Tuesday Afternoon
Published: March 24, 2026
EAGAN, MINNESOTA - A garage fire involving a vehicle prompted a large emergency response Tuesday afternoon in a residential neighborhood of Eagan.
Just after 3:00 p.m. on Tuesday, March 24, 2026, Eagan Fire, Inver Grove Heights Fire, and Eagan Police were dispatched to the 3900 block of Arlene Court for a reported structure fire. Early scanner traffic indicated that a vehicle was fully involved inside a garage.
While en route, Eagan fire personnel reported visible smoke in the distance, and a request was made to quickly upgrade to a second-alarm at approximately 3:06 p.m., bringing in additional resources. Mutual aid was requested from multiple departments, including South Metro Fire, Mendota Heights Fire, and Burnsville Fire, as well as an additional page of Eagan Fire personnel.
The first units arrived on scene around 3:07 p.m. and confirmed a working fire, with a vehicle fully engulfed inside the garage. Crews took an offensive attack and worked to contain the fire and prevent it from spreading to the rest of the structure. The fire was reported under control and extinguished by approximately 4:01 p.m.
We’re working to confirm this information, but it was initially reported that everyone was able to exit the structure. We don’t know the status of any pets that might have been in the home. At this time, no information has been released on the extent of damage to the home or the cause of the fire. Authorities have not yet provided an official statement.
This remains a developing situation, and updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
