Three survivors of last month’s deadly fire at Gabriel House are suing the Fall River assisted living facility, claiming negligence led to a blaze that killed 10 residents and injured dozens more.

The three residents — Patricia Martin, Terry Young and Donna Murphy — filed suit Thursday in Bristol County Superior Court. The residents allege they were injured by the July 13 fire. The facility’s owner, Dennis Etzkorn, is also named as a defendant, with the residents alleging he should have known residents smoked in their rooms despite the presence of medical oxygen.

Fire officials last month said preliminary findings suggest the fire was accidental and started in a second-floor room where an oxygen concentrator and smoking materials were found.

The lawsuit also names the alarm company — Fire Systems Inc. of North Dartmouth — as a defendant. The residents allege “the fire panel, fire pump and sprinkler system at Gabriel House were improperly installed and maintained and failed to operate reasonably, at the time of the fire.”
