A funeral home in Fall River is offering free funeral and cremation services to families who lost someone in a deadly fire that tore through an assisted living facility, killing 10.

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

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.

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.

"Thank you, Detective Monteiro, for reminding us all what service with compassion truly looks like," Fall River Police wrote in a social media post.

The city is taking a significant step closer to meeting the national standard for firefighters working at a given time.
