Food on a stove started a fire Wednesday afternoon in a mobile home in the North Haven Mobile Home Park off Pennsylvania Avenue north of Hagerstown, according to the Maugansville Goodwill Volunteer Fire Co.

The fire, which was reported at 3:45 p.m. at 18639 Donald St., extended from the stove into some cabinets, said Sgt. Austin McCoy, a spokesman for the fire company.

Firefighters contained the fire to the area around the cabinets, and it caused less than $3,000 in damages, McCoy said.
