It’s important to note that these allegations did not involve the Gabriel House assisted living facility and were unrelated to safety concerns.

Fall River firefighters say that inadequate staffing in the fire department cost people their lives at the Gabriel House assisted living facility fire that killed nine on July 13. But firefighters have also been sounding the alarm on their aging fire stations.

Flames roared through an assisted-living residence in Massachusetts, killing nine people, injuring 30 others and trapping residents inside.
