Gabriel House residents react to fatal Fall River fire: 'Not just a tragedy, it's a travesty'
Gabriel House resident Kerry Leckey said everything in her apartment is 'gone, gone, gone.' Among other things that are gone: three friends. 'I've only been there two months but I met a handful of really nice people and became pretty close to them in a short period of time, and three of them are gone,' she said on Monday, July 14. 'They passed in the fire.' Leckey was one of about 70 residents of Gabriel House, 261 Oliver St., when the fire broke out on Sunday, July 13. The fire killed nine residents and sent 30 people to the hospital, including five of the nearly 50 firefighters who responded. Evacuees were taken to the Timao Center on Bay Street, the city's homeless overflow shelter, where their immediate needs were tended to. 'We want to make sure they're placed in a safe, secure place that can handle their medical needs as quickly as possible,' Mayor Paul Coogan said late Monday afternoon. The Timao Center is set up with cots, laundry facilities, showers, and a kitchen. Meetings were ongoing to arrange for Gabriel House residents to live longer-term. As of just after noon on Monday, Coogan said about seven residents of Gabriel House still needed to be placed in new facilities. 'God willing, by the end of the day, everyone will have a place to go,' he said. Ledecky said she was one of those people who did not know where she would go next — a placement had not yet been arranged. 'I guess they're working something out for people. But as of now, I have no idea. And that's the worst part of all of it,' she said. 'You just don't know what you're going to do from here on out. But thank God there are good people around helping us.' How one resident had to evacuate from the building Leckey said she lived in an apartment on the building's first floor — 'that's my only saving grace, was that I wasn't actually in the fire like the rest of everybody on the second and third floor.' She said she was scrolling the internet on her phone on Sunday night when she heard a bunch of alarms as the fire started. 'And I couldn't understand why more people weren't running through the halls, banging on doors and stuff. It was just weird,' she said. 'The whole thing was very weird.' Many of the residents at Gabriel House are infirm and needed to be physically carried from the building. Sitting in a walker, Leckey said she was able to move herself out of the building, though a firefighter cleared her out of the room. As she fled, she said she saw the second floor was 'completely engulfed in flames,' with the thickest black smoke she had ever seen. She said the fire at Gabriel House was 'not just a tragedy, it's a travesty. Because there were steps that should have been taken and they weren't.' The building was old, and 'it doesn't make sense to only have two people on staff in a place with almost 100 people in it.' Indicating her walker, she said 'I'm lucky to have this, but everybody else's medication, money — everything is gone, gone, gone.' Gabriel House residents shocked by fire experience Outside the Timao Center on the afternoon of Monday, July 14, several residents of Gabriel House stood outside on Middle Street, others venturing across the road to sit in the lower portion of Kennedy Park to smoke and contemplate the loss. Resident Donna Murphy said the night of the fire was, coincidentally, the only night in her five years of residence at Gabriel House that she did not spend the night — she spent the night at her granddaughter's, she said. Her sister, Nancy, embraced her and wept. Nancy had seen news of the fire and panicked until she found out her sister was safe. 'God has given us so many blessings,' Nancy said. Donna said in her five years, there was 'never a fire drill — not once.' What was it like inside the Gabriel House in Fall River Smoking a cigarette on Monday afternoon, Donna said, many people at the building smoke. She described the fire as an accident waiting to happen, saying multiple people in the building smoke in violation of rules and use prohibited devices. 'There's oxygen tanks, people smoking. … There's toasters, people have got fryolators … microwaves,' Donna said. She said recently there was an eight-month period when the elevator was broken. Nancy said her sister, who lived on an upper floor when the elevator was out of service, and uses a walker to get around, was 'crawling down the stairs on her butt to get out of the room.' Donna said she has family, so she will be staying with them. But everything in her unit is gone, due to smoke damage. She and her family struggled to remember her litany of medications that needed emergency replacements and headed inside to arrange refills.
