Brenda Cropper, 66, had been hospitalized in critical condition for several days. She was the 10th person killed in the Fall River fire.

Brenda Cropper’s family describes her as a “tiny little thing” with a big smile who made friends easily. Cropper stood about about 4 feet, 11 inches tall, and her daughter Crystal Macura said her mother loved nothing more than her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, watching old TV shows, and cans of soda.

The mayor of Fall River said only two people were working at the Gabriel House in Fall River when a fire broke out Sunday night, killing nine residents​ at the assisted living facility.

What they saw upon initial arrival on the scene was horrific and at times, they were powerless and couldn’t perform the duties that they wanted to.”

River police said the officers who responded to the fire “exemplified professionalism, bravery, and selflessness in the face of danger.”
