Authorities recover the bodies of 33 dead in the fire of a ship in California

A source from the Los Angeles Coast Guard-Sector Long Beach explained to the Efe agency that the last bodies recovered were those of thirteen people last night.
Rescue teams are now looking for the only missing person to be located, although they hope to find his body during the day today.

Since Tuesday, rescue teams have worked on the assumption that none of the missing passengers survived the accident, apart from the five crew members who saved their lives.
According to the authorities, victims should be identified with DNA tests.
The causes for which the fire originated inside the vessel, which could not be suffocated by rescue agents when they arrived at the scene of the incident, are unknown.
Most of the passengers on the ship, called Conception, were sleeping under the deck when the fire broke out in the early hours of Monday. On board 39 people traveled, of which 6 were crew members and 33 were passengers.

A team of 16 professionals specialized in engineering, survival and fire prevention will try to clarify the origin of the fire and the reasons why the boat's escape routes did not work, said Jennifer Homendu, representative of the National Security Board of the Transportation, in a press conference on Tuesday afternoon.
Part of the investigation will also have the testimony of the only 5 survivors of the accident, all of them crew members who were awake on the deck and jumped into the water, where they were rescued by a leisure boat called Grape Escape and taken to the coast, the Coast Guard said.
"Ships must have a fire detector and both mobile and fixed extinguishing systems," Rochester added of one of the critical aspects identified prematurely, after an emergency call from the vessel was made public in which a guard on land I asked about those security systems.
For his part, the sheriff of Santa Barbara County, Bill Brown, put the spotlight on two escape routes that could be blocked by the flames and leave travelers trapped inside the boat.
