Regional context, not property-specific evidence. The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 51 fires within 5 miles of Lagrange between 2002 and 2018, burning about 41 acres in total. 7 started naturally. 7 were recorded as arson. Distance is straight-line from the map coordinates, so a fire counted here may appear on a neighbouring settlement's page as well.

The most recent of them, most recent first, with the day each was reported and the service that recorded it.

Settlements close enough to share some of these fires:

• Buffalo Corners
• Burk Hill
• Perry
• Perry Center
