A garage in St. Stephen burst into flames last Saturday and the garage and a parked truck were destroyed in the fire.

The St. Stephen Fire Department was called to the scene just before 1 p.m. By the time they arrived, the garage at the home of 44-year old Aaron Glenn Starz was already completely ablaze.

The Rice and Holdingford Fire Departments helped with damage control, but they could not save the garage or the truck parked just outside. Stearns Electric and Gold Cross Ambulance also provided assistance. St. Stephen Fire Chief Jeff Drais says the damage total was about $40,000. 

No one was home at the time of the fire. The cause of the fire is still unknown.
