The Brockton Fire Department has announced the death of one of his own.
On Sunday, the department publicly shared the death of firefighter Jeffrey Albanese, who went into cardiac arrest on Dec. 9 while on the job responding to an incident.
Albanese was resuscitated by fellow firefighters, Brewster EMS and medical staff at Signature Brockton Hospital. He was later transferred to Beth Israel Deaconess in Boston “where he received incredible care,” the department said.
Albanese died shortly after 11pm on Saturday night.
“Firefighter Albanese fought a valiant battle with his family and brothers and fellow firefighters by his side,” the department wrote in its announcement. “Please keep the Albanese family and Brockton Fire Local 144 in your thoughts and prayers.”
Albanese had been with the Brockton Fire Department since 2000, working in Squad A, Ladder Company 1. He most recently served as Engine Company 4’s senior man.
Funeral arrangements will be announced once completed, the department said.
