32 People Feared Dead in Quebec Fire L'ISLE-VERTE, Quebec - Crews on Saturday recovered two more bodies as they struggled with frigid temperatures and ice as thick as two feet to search the ruins of a burned-out retirement home. A total of 32 people are believed to have been killed in the fire, but just 10 bodies have been found. A huge blaze swept through the three-story building in L'Isle-Verte, about 140 miles northeast of Quebec City, early Thursday. Quebec's provincial police lowered the number of missing to 22 from about 30 based on more detailed information. The coroner's office identified two victims on Saturday, Juliette Saindon, 95, and Marie-Laureat Dube, 82. A third person has been identified but his or her name will not be released until Sunday. The cause of the fire that burned down the home, the Résidence du Havre, was under investigation, and the police asked the public for any videos or photos that might yield clues. Lt. Guy Lapointe of the Quebec police declined to confirm news reports that the fire began in the room of a resident who was smoking a cigarette, describing it as "one hypothesis among many." "When you conduct an investigation of this magnitude, you have to determine all the facts and not simply just one or two in order to achieve a conclusion," he said. Frigid temperatures continued to hamper the search, with Lieutenant Lapointe saying the ice in certain places was as thick as two feet. Search teams brought in equipment normally used to de-ice ships with hot air. "You can imagine how difficult it is to go through the ice, melt it, and do it in a way that we preserve the integrity of potential victims," he said. So it's very difficult work again today. Spray from firefighters" hoses left the home resembling a macabre snow palace, the ruins encased in thick ice dripping with icicles. Workers took a break overnight because of the cold. Witnesses told horrific tales of people trapped and killed by the flames. Some had Alzheimer's disease.
