FALL RIVER, Mass. — The assisted living facility that caught fire Sunday had working sprinklers and posted evacuation maps, according to an August 2024 fire inspection report. Ten people died as a result of the blaze. Five were still hospitalized Thursday, including one in critical condition.

The Gabriel House fire that killed 10 residents is prompting other Bristol County communities to look into emergency plans at assisted living homes.

FALL RIVER — The nine residents killed in a fire here at Gabriel House, an assisted living residence, are being remembered as fonts of knowledge and symbols of longevity.

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.

The city of Fall River on Thursday released six years’ worth of fire inspection reports for the Gabriel House assisted living facility, where a fire earlier this week claimed the lives of 10 residents.

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.

The Massachusetts assisted-living facility where a fatal fire killed nine people was caring for dozens of aging residents reliant on wheelchairs and oxygen tanks, but it lacked the safety measures and most of the staffing requirements that are commonplace in nursing homes.

Investigations into what starts a fire require a methodical look at the scene and can take a long time to complete.
