The death toll from the gas explosion of a Pacific Gas & Electric Co. (NYSE:PCG) pipeline has risen to six.
Authorities said the remains were discovered in one of the last houses to be searched. All the house had left to it were a staircase and fireplace, according to Santa Clara Fire Captain Joe Viramontz.
Viramontz said the cadaver dogs found the remains at about 10 a.m. Saturday morning.
Santa Clara County firefighter Bob Wess confirmed it saying, "The dogs really hit on it (the scent) hard today."
Dogs couldn't enter about 25 percent of the burn area until Saturday, as on Friday it was too hot to perform searches in.
The two victims were found in the same home, but San Mateo County Coroners hadn't confirmed the deaths yet.
Among the dead identified are Jacqueline Greig, 44, and her daughter, Janessa Greig, 13, and Jessica Morales, 20. Suspected dead is Elizabeth Torres, 81.

Tesoro (NYSE: TSO) Washington Refinery Explosion Kills 4, Wounds 3
Washington Refinery Explosion
An explosion and fire at a Washington state oil refinery [Tesoro (NYSE: TSO)] shook homes and shot flames into the night sky early Friday, killing four people and critically injuring three others.
The fire struck the Tesoro Corp. refinery in Anacortes, about 70 miles north of Seattle on Puget Sound, at about 12:30 a.m., the company said. The blaze occurred while maintenance work was being performed and was extinguished in about 90 minutes.
Three employees are hospitalized with major burns over the majority of their bodies, including a 36-year-old woman and two men, 34 and 41, said Susan Hanson, a spokeswoman for Harborview Medical Center in Seattle. A 29-year-old woman died of her burns at the hospital. The other three killed were men, according to the Skagit County coroner.
The blast was the biggest fatal refinery accident since a 2005 explosion at a BP American refinery in Texas killed 15 people and injured another 170, authorities said. It comes after Tesoro was fined $85,700 a year ago for 17 serious safety and health violations.
