Frank Costa and his family and dog were displaced January 21, 2026 due to a fire that engulfed the home leaving Frank, his son, grandson (he is an adult) and dog to find shelter. Everyone got out safe. Frank said he saw smoke from the radiator. Everything appears to be a loss including some cash Frank had and clothing, etc. Frank has a 80lb Norwegian Elkhound. They are currently staying at a hotel in Lincoln RI until a more permanent solution can be found for everyone. Frank has been a North Providence resident all his life and loves the town and its people. Any assistance we can get Frank and his family would be appreciated.
