Communities across Massachusetts continue to lend their support to the people whose lives were changed forever by the Gabriel House fire in Fall River.

Hundreds of people waited in line for hours on Friday night for the chance to support survivors of the Gabriel House fire in Fall River, Massachusetts, who are now starting from scratch.

When they heard Gabriel House residents screaming for help during the deadly fire on July 13, a group of neighbors grabbed ladders and ran to help.

Residents who fled the deadly Gabriel House fire said fire drills were never conducted. The fire chief says there's a good reason for that.

Some residents who survived Sunday's fire at the Gabriel House in Fall River are still hospitalized and in hotels. Here's the breakdown on Wednesday.

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.

The family of a resident at the Gabriel House assisted living facility has retained a law firm to investigate the circumstances leading up to the deadly Sunday fire that killed nine people and left dozens injured.

The Bristol County DA reported the update Friday saying, "it was due to a miscommunication with a medical agency."
