The city is taking a significant step closer to meeting the national standard for firefighters working at a given time.
The Gabriel House assisted living facility did not perform fire drills or train workers in evacuation procedures and was also understaffed and poorly maintained, according to a current and former employee interviewed in the aftermath of the fatal fire there that killed nine residents.
First responders rescued dozens of people from inside an assisted living facility where nine people were killed.
