Firefighter Hospitalized After Brown Place Overnight Blaze

The Harrison Fire Department responded to a house fire at Harrison Ave. and Brown Pl. late Tuesday night.

The Harrison Fire Department responded to a house fire at 57 Brown Place at approximately 11 p.m. Tuesday night.

Harrison Fire Chief Dino Del Signore said that the two-and-a-half story home is for sale and no one was home at the time of the fire. The likely cause of the blaze, he said, was electrical.

"Upon arrival we had heavy fire on the right side of the house from the bottom to the top and fire was coming out of the second floor and the roof," Del Signore explained.
