The 4-alarm fire that swept through the retirement home also took the life of a still-unidentified man who was found in the apartment where the fire is believed to have started.  Argente lived in the adjoining unit.

Fire officials told tv station KTVU Tuesday night that three of the residents remain unaccounted for. They are identified as Harold Fortune, George Long and Darlene Long. George and Darlene Long are not related.  They don’t yet know if the three people are still undiscovered in the rubble of if they had happened to be away from the building when it happened.  They are asking if anybody knows of their whereabouts.
