REVERE, MA – I was saddened to learn of the fatal fire at 661 Washington Street, and of the loss of retired Revere Police Officer, Richie Serino. On behalf of the City of Revere, I extend my sincere condolences to the Serino family and loved ones during this unimaginable time of loss.
Richie Serino was a community staple, who took pride in his home and his family. He comes from a lineage of Reverians with a rich history in public service, and we are grateful for his, and his family’s, contributions to the betterment of our city. We will all miss driving by his legendary holiday decorations, of which he dedicated so much time and care.
The fire is still under thorough investigation by the Revere Fire Department, with more details to follow.
