It’s been nearly one year since flames ripped through the Gabriel House assisted living facility in Fall River, killing 10 residents and injuring dozens of others.

Fall River Fire Chief Jeffrey Bacon emphasized Wednesday afternoon that he never wants anything like it to happen again.

“As we approach the one-year anniversary of the Gabriel House fire, we’ve been looking for meaningful ways to honor the victims and ensure this tragedy doesn’t repeat itself,” Bacon said.

The tragedy shook the city to its core and marked the state’s deadliest fire in more than 40 years.
