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.

Jeffrey Bacon said the fire was "destined to kill" more than 50 people, but heroic acts limited the tragic loss of life.

River called mutual aid during the Gabriel House fire when firefighters were overwhelmed. But they covered stations, not the fire. Here's why.

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.

Jeffrey Bacon joined Boston 25 Morning News and answered questions about the tragic fire that left nine people dead.

Fall River Fire Department Chief Jeffrey Bacon met with the media for a third consecutive day to give updates on the aftermath of Sunday’s deadly Gabriel House fire. According to Chief Bacon, the investigation into the cause of the fire is still ongoing.

River Fire Department will hold a briefing Wednesday afternoon to update the investigation into the deadly fire at Gabriel House.
