A tenth person has died following last weekend's devastating fire at a Fall River assisted living facility, according to the Bristol County District Attorney’s office.
The mayor of Fall River said only two people were working at the Gabriel House in Fall River when a fire broke out Sunday night, killing nine residents at the assisted living facility.
It’s very important in a crisis that people stay in contact,” Mayor Paul Coogan said in a wide-ranging interview from his office Friday.
Hundreds lined up outside the St. John Athletic Club Friday evening for a fundraiser benefitting residents of the Gabriel House assisted living facility, which caught fire earlier this week.
