After a devastating fire at an assisted living facility on Oliver Street, Fall River residents are mourning the dead and looking to help the survivors.

A GoFundMe was set up to help the families of those impacted by a fire that burned a Massachusetts assisted living facility Sunday night, with nine people dead and 30 hurt.

The Gabriel House assisted living facility did not perform fire drills or train workers in evacuation procedures and was also understaffed and poorly maintained, according to a current and former employee interviewed in the aftermath of the fatal fire there that killed nine residents.

River firefighters union says low staffing levels prevented them from rescuing more people in Massachusetts deadliest fire in 40 years.

The exact cause of the fire is under investigation, but the DA’s office said it did not appear to be suspicious. The Firefighters Wives Association has set up a GoFundMe page to help those affected by the fire. So far, it has raised more than $30,000.

"Whatever can be learned from this tragedy, from fire prevention to rescue perspectives, is of the utmost importance," writes one reader.
