A fire in Westernport around midnight Wednesday caused $5,000 in damage.  Crews from the Barton Hose Company responded to Lower Georges Creek Road to a single family dwelling occupied by Patricia McVicker.  An accidental wood fire malfunction in the kitchen caused the fire, which was under control in less than ten minutes.  Residents and pets were alerted by a smoke alarm and escaped to safety.
