A funeral home in Fall River is offering free funeral and cremation services to families who lost someone in a deadly fire that tore through an assisted living facility, killing 10.
A fire at the Gabriel House assisted-living facility in Fall River, Massachusetts, has claimed its 10th victim. The blaze, which trapped residents and injured many, raises concerns about safety regulations in such facilities.
Questions and finger-pointing have increased in the days since a fire at a Massachusetts assisted-living facility killed nine and hurt dozens.
The Fall River mayor’s office has confirmed all Gabriel House residents displaced by the tragic Sunday fire that claimed nine lives now have new living arrangements.
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.
