At least 9 people died and more than 30 were injured after a fire broke out at a Massachusetts assisted living facility on Sunday, the local fire chief said.

"Crews were met with a heavy fire coming through the main entrance and multiple people hanging out the windows looking to be rescued," Fall River Fire Department Chief Jeffrey Bacon said. "Multiple victims were rescued from the building and transported to local hospitals for treatment."

Fall River Mayor Paul Coogan said, "It’s horrible. I mean, this is the kind of thing you don’t want in the middle of July, Sunday night, and the city explodes around a tragedy like this."

The origin and cause of the fire are under investigation.
