Questions about Gabriel House living conditions and emergency preparedness continue to swirl following Sunday’s deadly fire.

Gov. Maura Healey on Friday announced a series of new measures aimed at improving safety in assisted living facilities in the wake of a fire at Gabriel House in Fall River that killed at least nine people on Sunday.

The fire that claimed nine lives at an assisted-living facility in Fall River, Massachusetts, "was destined to kill 50-plus people," according to the local fire chief.

Jeffrey Bacon said the fire was "destined to kill" more than 50 people, but heroic acts limited the tragic loss of life.

More than 75 percent of Gabriel House residents are enrolled in Medicaid, state officials have said, and it charges significantly less than a typical assisted living facility does for private-paying patients.
