Authorities said Tuesday, July 13th It was an accident that could have been caused by either the dysfunctional oxygen machinery or careless use or disposal of smoking materials that destroyed the rivers of Massachusetts Falls, assisted in livelihoods, killed 10 people and injured more than 30 people.
Former State Fire Service S. John Dubin said at a press conference Tuesday that Gabriel House helped fire at a facility born in a resident’s room on the second floor of the building.
However, when authorities investigated and conducted the initial interview, they discovered that the fire appeared to be intentionally not set, Bristol County District Attorney Thomas Quinn.
“[The authorities]did not find any indication that cooking, lighting, heating, electrical outlets or other appliances contributed to the fire,” Davin said. “They didn’t find candles, incense or related items.”

The only items found in the room that could have been linked to the cause of the fire were oxygen concentrators and numerous. Smoking ingredients According to Dabin, in the room.
As a person in the room where the fire started died from the flames, authorities said the two most likely causes were mechanical failures, including the improper use or disposal of oxygen concentrators or smoking materials.

“Investigators believe in the existence of Medical oxygen “It played a key role in the rapid spread of the fire and the tragedy that followed,” Davin said. In an oxygen-rich environment, fires ignite more easily, spreads faster, and burns at higher temperatures. ”
Domestic oxygen has been a known factor in Massachusetts’ deaths and more than three dozen injuries over the past decade, with many other factors suspected, according to the fire service source.
