FALL RIVER — The nine residents killed in a fire here at Gabriel House, an assisted living residence, are being remembered as fonts of knowledge and symbols of longevity.

The city of Fall River on Thursday released six years’ worth of fire inspection reports for the Gabriel House assisted living facility, where a fire earlier this week claimed the lives of 10 residents.

The one-page inspection report released Thursday morning showed the Gabriel House also had an adequate number of fire extinguishers, along with alarms for heat, smoke, and carbon monoxide. The inspection noted the facility had generally good housekeeping, with nothing blocking exits or stairways.

The Massachusetts assisted-living facility where a fatal fire killed nine people was caring for dozens of aging residents reliant on wheelchairs and oxygen tanks, but it lacked the safety measures and most of the staffing requirements that are commonplace in nursing homes.

Investigations into what starts a fire require a methodical look at the scene and can take a long time to complete.

A state official documented 26 instances where staff members did not report specific emergency situations to the state within the 24-hour window required by law.
