A search dog helped locate a survivor in the rubble overnight Friday. Another fatality was discovered Saturday.
Another man sought Mayor Samantha Kaag at West Reading Borough Hall Saturday night, begging for an update. She consoled him, offered her cell phone, but had nothing new to report at the time. Emergency workers continued rescue efforts through the night.
