On May 28, 2025, the Corning Police Department responded to a report of a structure fire at the Arkansas Highway and Transportation Department District 10 shop located on North Missouri Ave. Upon arrival, officers determined that a semi-truck and trailer had come into contact with a low-hanging electrical line across the roadway, causing the line to be torn down and sparking, which subsequently ignited the building.
The Corning Fire Department arrived on scene and, with assistance from the Biggers/Reyno Fire Department, successfully extinguished the fire.
Unfortunately, the building sustained significant damage. Thankfully, no injuries were reported during this incident.
