Eddie Donnelly, president of the New Jersey Firefighters Mutual Benevolent Association, released the following statement on the death of Rep. Bill Pascrell (D-Paterson):
“Firefighters, EMTs, and dispatchers all over the country work safer and healthier because of the hard work and dedication of Congressman Bill Pascrell. Bill never backed down from a fight, and with him in your corner you couldn’t lose.
“We’ll miss our champion and will honor his legacy by continuing to fight for what’s right for the men and women that protect our communities.”
