STORYLINE:
Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey says the state will provide money to improve public safety staffing in Fall River, after meeting with city officials about the response to a fire at an assisted-living facility that killed 10 people.
The July 13 fire at Gabriel House in the city about 50 miles south of Boston remains under investigation. The blaze left some residents hanging out windows of the three-story facility screaming for help.
Members of the local firefighter’s union have said lack of emergency personnel staffing in the city made responding to the blaze more difficult, and made the fire itself deadlier.
Healey said Tuesday the state is releasing $1.2 million for Fall River to hire more emergency response personnel.
