All 273 assisted living facilities in Massachusetts must send letters to all residents and families detailing fire safety protocols, evacuation procedures and key points of contact, the state announced Friday.

A woman previously reported to have died after a fire at a Fall River assisted living residence remains in critical condition, the district attorney's office said.

As the massive investigation into the cause and origin of the Gabriel House fire ensues, we're learning more about the fire safety inspection reports from the Oliver Street facility.

The Bristol County District Attorney's Office said that a "miscommunication" led them to previously report that Brenda Cropper, 66, had died, when in fact she is still alive and in critical condition.

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.

A Massachusetts assisted-living center where nine residents died in a fire was cited for failing to immediately report more than two dozen health and safety incidents.
