Police say investigators are hoping to be able to get inside the building within the next two days
Crews began dismantling a heritage building that was destroyed in a raging fire last week, as families and friends of the victims awaited word on when the remains of their loved ones would be recovered from the rubble.
Mr. Lacroix said his daughter was in an Airbnb with friends on Thursday morning when the fire broke out. She and at least one friend made two calls to 911, he said, describing how they were trapped in a windowless apartment and could not escape. Alina Kuzmina and her husband were sleeping in their Airbnb in the building’s basement when they were awoken by what she described as a “loud explosion” and a bright orange light coming from behind their door. Ms. Kuzmina said she and her husband were lucky they heard the sound, as there were no fire alarms in her unit to alert her that anything was amiss.
Airbnb spokesperson Matt McNama said in a statement that the company was providing support to those affected, and was assisting law enforcement with the investigation.Andrej Ivanov/The Globe and Mail
