The owner of the Gabriel House in Fall River said in a statement Friday that his focus remains on the families who lost loved ones in a fire at the assisted living facility.

The owner of Gabriel House assisted living facility -- the site of a tragic fire July 13 -- issued a statement Friday. Here's what he had to say:

Etzkorn said that the Garbiel House is working on returning possessions to displaced residents and determining a method to prevent a similar tragedy from occurring in the future.

More information on the cause of the deadly Fall River fire at Gabriel House on July 13 was released Tuesday. During a press conference Tuesday afternoon, officials said evidence narrowed the cause down to two possibilities, either an electrical or mechanical failure of an oxygen concentrator or the improper use or disposal of smoking materials.

The names of seven of the nine people who died in the Fall River fire on July 13 have been released to the public.

The statement on Monday by George Reagan Jr., a spokesperson for the Gabriel House ownership, said they were “eternally grateful” to the Fall River fire and police departments for their “heroic response to the fire.” The statement also commended ambulance companies and medical personnel who provided care to the victims.

The owner of the Fall River assisted living facility where 10 people died in a fire, says he is trying to help the victims’ families get their possessions back.
