Local and state fire investigators are working to identify the origin and cause of the 5-alarm at Gabriel House on Oliver Street, officials said.

Nine people died Sunday night after an assisted living facility caught fire in Fall River, Massachusetts, officials said, with elderly people begging for help from first responders as smoke poured out of the building.

The Massachusetts assisted-living facility that caught fire Sunday evening was slated to undergo a recertification and compliance review process later this year.
