OGUNQUIT — The Maine Fire Marshal’s Office says a frying pan left on a stove started a fire that killed a man in Ogunquit.

Officials say firefighters responding to the blaze at 2 a.m. Thursday found the body of 54-year-old Mark Barnard in a bedroom. Firefighters prevented the fire in his apartment over a garage from spreading to the attached home.

Officials say Barnard was a partner in a sign and graphics business in Wells.

Steve McCausland of the Maine Department of Public Safety says smoke detectors were in the home but it’s unknown if they were in operating order. It was the sixth fire death this year in Maine.
