The one-page inspection report released Thursday morning showed the Gabriel House also had an adequate number of fire extinguishers, along with alarms for heat, smoke, and carbon monoxide. The inspection noted the facility had generally good housekeeping, with nothing blocking exits or stairways.

The Gabriel House fire that killed 10 residents is prompting other Bristol County communities to look into emergency plans at assisted living homes.

FALL RIVER — The nine residents killed in a fire here at Gabriel House, an assisted living residence, are being remembered as fonts of knowledge and symbols of longevity.

Exterminators were called to the Gabriel House multiple times since 2014 to get rid of bedbugs, mice and other pests at the assisted living facility, according to records obtained by Target 12.

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.

Investigations into what starts a fire require a methodical look at the scene and can take a long time to complete.

The Massachusetts assisted-living facility where a fatal fire killed nine people was caring for dozens of aging residents reliant on wheelchairs and oxygen tanks, but it lacked the safety measures and most of the staffing requirements that are commonplace in nursing homes.

A state official documented 26 instances where staff members did not report specific emergency situations to the state within the 24-hour window required by law.
