A longtime firefighter from Harrison has passed away.
The Harrison Fire Department announced on Facebook that is with “great sadness we announce the passing of Fire Fighter Albert Mazzullo. Albert served The Harrison Fire Department and Engine and Hose company for 45 years as a Fire Fighter and Department Warden.”
Mazzullo was known for his work with Harrison's Sanitation Department and the high school football team.
