    Suffolk Fire/Rescue had a 3rd alarm on 10-9-09. The original fire building was a 3 story P/D. The fire spread to exposures B & D which were also 3 story P/D's. The original fire building collapsed and was a total loss. No deaths or injuries to report. I'll try to get a rundown in the next few days
