The community has shown incredible support for a Rhode Island family when they need it most.

According to Coventry Police, on Sunday at 1:44 a.m., the Coventry Police along with Coventry Fire and Rescue responded to Audubon Lane for a reported structural fire with a person inside.

The Rhode Island State Fire Marshal’s office did respond and led the investigation. Due to collapsed flooring and structural damage, heavy equipment was brought in to safely search the residence.

The fire was extinguished and one person was located deceased inside the home.

According to a GoFundMe fundraiser, Zack Fabbri a loving husband, devoted father, cherished friend, and an irreplaceable part of the community, was the man who died in the blaze.
