MONTREAL — The search continues for six people missing after a fire swept through a historic Old Montreal building last week.

A Montreal fire department spokesman says firefighters will begin dismantling the second and third floors of the building today.

Montreal police say the body of a woman was pulled from the rubble Sunday evening.

Insp. David Shane says the police force’s fire unit used a drone to help locate the victim.

Shane says the six people who are missing are from Quebec, Ontario and the United States, adding that investigators have contacted their families.
