NEW YORK (AP) _ The remains of three people, including two firefighters, were found in the debris of the World Trade Center.

Fire Department spokesman Robert Calise could not say where on the site the remains were found, but workers were seen focusing on an area in what used to be the trade center's north tower for several hours Monday.

Two flag-draped stretchers were seen at the base of the ramp that trucks and workers use to access the seven-story pit.

The remains of 16 people, including six firefighters, were found over the weekend in the south tower area.

Recovery workers had expected to find many human remains in the south tower area, which makes up one of the last mountains of debris left to be excavated.

Officials expect the last of the debris to be cleared away by the end of May.

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