It’s very important in a crisis that people stay in contact,” Mayor Paul Coogan said in a wide-ranging interview from his office Friday.

The cause of the deadly fire at the Gabriel House assisted living home in Fall River, Massachusetts is still unknown.

Authorities on Friday revised the death toll in a fire that tore through an assisted-living facility in Fall River on Sunday night. The Bristol County District Attorney’s Office said that it incorrectly reported the death of a 10th person in the blaze at Gabriel House “due to a miscommunication with a medical agency.”
