Reno, Nev. ? Two more bodies were recovered Sunday from the rubble of a downtown Reno hotel, bringing the death toll to 11 in the city’s deadliest fire. Officials said the toll could still rise.

The bodies were found in the most heavily damaged section of the Mizpah Hotel, an 84-year-old Reno landmark, said Fire Department spokesman Steve Frady.

“The potential for location of additional victims in the debris-covered areas of the building still exists,” Frady said, adding that the recovery effort will continue at least through today.

The search Sunday focused on the most dangerous section of the hotel, where the Halloween night fire destroyed floors, weakened walls and caused a huge debris pile, he said.

It has been proceeding slowly because that portion of the brick building had to be stabilized, he said.

“There’s a tremendous amount of potentially dangerous situations in there and we’re closely monitoring it so no one on the recovery team becomes a victim,” Frady said.

The deadliest fires in Reno before the hotel fire- a 1962 blaze at the Golden Hotel and 1879’s “Great Fire of Reno” – each killed six people, said Guy Rocha, the state archivist.
