Suffield Firefighters Quickly Put Out Apartment Fire

SUFFIELD, CT — An overnight fire at a Suffield apartment complex temporarily displaced about 18 residents, Fire Chief Chuck Flynn said.

The fire was reported around 1:30 a.m. on Harmon Drive, at the corner of Mountain Road and Remington Street. The fire, which was determined by the fire marshal to be electrical in nature, was confined to Unit 52, Flynn said.
