An early morning house fire on Patriot Parkway claimed an older adult’s life early Monday morning. “On behalf of the Revere Fire Department, I want to express our heartfelt condolences to this man’s family and loved ones,” said Fire Chief Christopher Bright.

“This was a tragic event for them and our community.”  

The Revere Fire Department responded to 104 Patriot Parkway at about 5:45 Monday morning following a report of a fire. On arrival, they observed heavy smoke and occupants who informed them that one person – an 80-year-old man with limited mobility – was still in the basement. Officials did not release the name of the man as of Tuesday morning. Firefighters forced entry, rescued him from the danger, and began lifesaving efforts at the scene. The man was transported to an area hospital, where he was pronounced deceased, according to Bright. Firefighters extinguished the fire with no other injuries.

The origin and cause of the fire are under investigation by the Revere Fire Department, Revere Police Department, State Police fire investigators assigned to the State Fire Marshal’s office, and State Police assigned to the Suffolk District Attorney’s office. They are assisted by the Department of Fire Services’ Code Compliance & Enforcement Unit. Based on witness interviews and an examination of the scene, the fire is not considered suspicious. The Chelsea Fire Department provided mutual aid at the scene.
