Minor smoke and stove damage resulted from a fire Sunday afternoon at Signal Point Condominiums, Boothbay Harbor Fire Chief Nick Upham said the department responded to a fire alarm around 12:42 p.m.; a pair of firefighters investigated, and discovered smoke coming from unit No. 12. A neighbor with a pass key let firefighters into the unit, and they discovered a fire in the kitchen area.

Upham reported the fire was extinguished within minutes. “The fire was confined to the kitchen. There was some smoke damage and damage to the stove,” he said. “I’m not sure how it started, but the stove was left on, and things were left on it,” he said.
