Nine people died in a fire at an assisted-living facility in Fall River, Massachusetts, with ages ranging from 61 to 86. The incident left at least 30 others injured, and claims of inadequate staffing hampered the emergency response. Residents reported a lack of assistance from staff members, with accounts of employees running from the building while residents remained trapped. Firefighters battled heavy smoke and flames upon their arrival, and the investigation into the fire's cause is ongoing.
"They didn't knock on one door. They just ran," said Robert Cabral, expressing frustration over staff's inaction during the assisted-living facility fire.
Lorraine Ferrara recalled her ordeal: "I really thought I was going to die. I thought there was no way out." Her anger grew as she saw two employees run from the building.
