The 2025 Fall River assisted-living fire – widely referred to as the Gabriel House fire – was a five-alarm fire that broke out at the 100-unit Gabriel House Assisted Living Facility in Fall River, Massachusetts, United States, on the night of July 13–14, 2025. The fire was reported at about 21:50 EDT (01:50 UTC) and quickly spread through the three-story, wood-frame building, with residents visible at upper-floor windows when firefighters arrived. Ten residents died and more than 30 people—including six firefighters—were injured, making it the deadliest fire in Massachusetts in more than four decades. Roughly 70 residents were inside at the time; many used wheelchairs or relied on medical oxygen, conditions that both hindered evacuation and accelerated the fire's spread. Investigators have classified the fire as accidental but undetermined. Preliminary findings trace the point of origin to a single second-floor studio where either a malfunctioning oxygen concentrator or discarded smoking materials ignited in an oxygen-enriched atmosphere. The performance of the facility's sprinkler and alarm systems remains under review. The disaster prompted Governor Maura Healey to order an emergency review of fire-safety practices at all 273 assisted-living residences in Massachusetts, and it has led to multiple negligence lawsuits filed by survivors and victims' families against the facility's owners.
