Our hearts are with the city of Fall River and surrounding communities affected by the recent Gabriel House fire. š
In moments like these, weāre reminded of the extraordinary strength and bravery of our first responders. Behind every heroic action, there is an emotional toll that often goes unseen.
We want to take a moment to recognize the incredible efforts of all the departments and providers who respondedāand those continuing to support the community in the aftermath.
Fall River EMS, AFSCME L-1202 Professional Paramedics of Fall River in partnership with St. Anneās Hospital and Brown Health, is ensuring that the mental health of those providers is not overlooked. Theyāve made peer support and mental health resources available to all responders across departments and hospitals.
If you were part of the response and need assistance, please donāt hesitate to reach out:

And if any provider simply needs someone to meet for coffee ā or enjoy alone time with one of our comfort pupsāFour Legged Angels is here for you. š¾
Please reach out. Youāre not alone. š¤
