The FDNY battled a three-alarm fire Saturday night at a two-story building in Bensonhurst.

The FDNY says a third alarm was issued, bringing 110 units to the scene.
It took firefighters a little over an hour to bring those flames under control.
No injuries were reported.
The FDNY is investigating the cause of the fire.
