Officials announced Wednesday that the fire at the Gabriel House assisted living home in Fall River, Massachusetts that killed nine people led to an agreement to make staffing additions to the Fall River Fire Department.

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.

You could have had 100 firefighters show up on that scene and it wouldn’t have been enough,” the fire chief said at a news briefing outside the fire department’s headquarters Tuesday.
