There’s no doubt in my mind that that fire was destined to kill 50-plus people,” Fall River Fire Chief Jeffrey Bacon said Wednesday.

River's building department released certificates of inspection for the assisted living facility where nine people died in a fire, Sunday night.

The Bristol County DA reported the update Friday saying, "it was due to a miscommunication with a medical agency."

The family of a resident at the Gabriel House assisted living facility has retained a law firm to investigate the circumstances leading up to the deadly Sunday fire that killed nine people and left dozens injured.

Gabriel House residents described a chaotic scene Sunday night before they were rescued from the blaze that left nine dead and dozens more injured.

Hundreds lined up outside the St. John Athletic Club Friday evening for a fundraiser benefitting residents of the Gabriel House assisted living facility, which caught fire earlier this week.
