FARMINGDALE, N.Y. (AP) >> Officials say a stove fire spurred a brief evacuation of a Long Island college dorm, but no one was injured. It happened around 9:30 a.m. Monday at Farmingdale State College in Farmingdale. College spokeswoman Kathy Coley says the fire was in a fourth-floor kitchen in Orchard Hall and was quickly contained.
