Martin Guilbault, a Montreal fire operations chief, says the plan for today is to use both cranes to speed up the removal of debris from the historic building
, bringing the total to four and leaving three people missing after the fire last Thursday.
The bodies of the two victims recovered Wednesday were turned over to a pathologist for identification. Guilbault told reporters that searchers are focusing on areas of the building identified by police investigators. On Wednesday, Montreal police identified the first victim recovered as 76-year-old Camille Maheux, a photographer who lived in the building.
