All 273 assisted living facilities in Massachusetts must send letters to all residents and families detailing fire safety protocols, evacuation procedures and key points of contact, the state announced Friday.

A woman previously reported to have died after a fire at a Fall River assisted living residence remains in critical condition, the district attorney's office said.

A family of a Gabriel House resident has hired a law firm to investgate the circumstances leading up to the fire at the assited living facility

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.

A Massachusetts assisted-living center where nine residents died in a fire was cited for failing to immediately report more than two dozen health and safety incidents.
