New York ? The remains of 10 people, including two firefighters, were recovered from the debris of the World Trade Center on Saturday. The discoveries followed the overnight removal of six other victims, four of them firefighters.

The latest remains were found in the tightly compacted rubble from the south tower, the last part of the site to be excavated.

The 110-story south tower was the second building hit Sept. 11, but it was the first to collapse. Those inside had just under an hour to escape and no apparent warning that the towers might fall.

On Saturday, dozens of firefighters and rescue workers saluted as flag-draped stretchers carrying remains of the victims were escorted from the site.

The terrorist attack claimed the lives of 2,830 people, among them 343 members of the New York Fire Department.

Earlier in the week, workers retrieved remains of as many as 11 other firefighters from the rubble, including one of the department’s highest-ranking victims of the attack, Assistant Chief Donald Burns. Burns had been setting up a command post when the tower collapsed.

Also on Saturday, Fire Department chaplain Mychal Judge, who was killed by falling debris from the trade center while administering last rites to mortally injured firefighter, was remembered with music and donations.

“Father Mychal was a tough man and he was a man of God,” the Rev. Patrick Fitzgerald, a close friend, said during a memorial at Manhattan’s Church of St. Francis of Assisi.

A funeral for officer Moira Smith, the only female New York City Police Officer to die on Sept. 11, also was held Saturday at Our Lady of Lourdes Church in Queens Village. Her name tag and shield were discovered near her remains in the trade center rubble on Wednesday.
