The preventable tragedy at Gabriel House demonstrates the potential suffering posed to vulnerable populations, particularly the elderly, by the savage cuts to social programs in Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” relied upon by millions.

New bodycam footage gives the closest look yet of the heroism of Fall River, Mass., police officers and firefighters working to evacuate the Gabriel House amid a deadly fire.

The footage, released Thursday afternoon, shows Fall River police officers and firefighters alerting and rescuing residents from the assisted living facility.

The scene outside Gabriel House, the assisted living facility that saw a deadly fire over the weekend, was solemn Wednesday, as mourners placed flowers and lit candles, some praying, others standing silently, some imagining the scene over the weekend that left nine residents dead.

Police released body-worn camera video showing rescues from the night an assisted living facility in Fall River, Massachusetts caught fire, killing at least nine people.

Investigators are looking into a number of issues including the possibility that the fire was caused by smoking near an oxygen tank.

At a press conference Tuesday, July 15, outside FRFD headquarters, Bacon said the city has typically relied on overtime for coverage in the event of a crisis -- but in an event like the Gabriel House “you can never have enough staff,” and that he is primarily focused on the lives that were saved.
