The mayor says the city is working on returning personal belongings, medication and keeping health at the forefront.

Despite efforts by scores of firefighters – nearly half of whom were off duty at the time – and “every police officer in the city,” nine Gabriel House residents died in the fire, according to officials. Those killed range in age from 61 to 86. Dozens of others were injured, one critically.

The owner of an assisted-living facility in Fall River where nine died in a fire also owns an adult foster care business in Worcester.

Family members of survivors of the Gabriel House fire say their loved ones have had a hard time getting the daily medications they need.

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

Sunday’s fatal fire at the Gabriel House assisted living facility in Fall River killed 9, injured at least 30 and left dozens shocked and devastated in the aftermath.

Nine people are dead and about 30 people are injured, one critically, after a fire broke out at an assisted living facility in Fall River late Sunday night.
