Rescue workers continued their search on Saturday after dogs trained to look for survivors indicated there might be life in the debris. But fire officials at the scene cautioned against concluding that a survivor was inside the apartment block. They said sounds coming from the rubble could be running water, an appliance or even an animal.

Rescuers pulled one more body from another collapsed building on Saturday, raising the death toll to 291.
