The San Marcos apartment complex where a massive fire killed at least five people Friday was not equipped with a sprinkler system, officials said during a press conference on Monday.

A fifth body was recovered Monday afternoon in the gutted structure's remains, authorities announced. A fourth body was recovered late Sunday, officials said.

San Marcos Fire Marshal Kelly Kistner said the Iconic Village apartment complex was built in the 1970s and authorities do not know when it was last inspected. Les Stevens, the San Marcos Fire Chief, said the building met the required safety standards of the time it was built, but local officials can't require property managers to "retrofit" their buildings.

The fire ripped through the Iconic Village Apartments around 4:30 a.m. Friday, later spreading to two buildings at the Vintage Pad Apartments. More than 200 residents, many of whom were students, were displaced by the blaze.

Hours after the fire, officials announced five people were unaccounted for: Haley Frizzell, James Miranda, Belinda Moats, David Ortiz and Dru Estes.

Officials announced Sunday they had found three people dead, all of whom were taken to the Travis County medical examiner's office for autopsies and identification.

The fourth discovery was made Sunday night, Kistner said. Investigators said they will continue the search until they're certain there are no additional victims.

"All search and recovery efforts will continue until we know all potential victims are covered," said Kistner. "We're not leaving until we know all the work on the ground is done."

None of the dead were identified and it's not clear whether those found dead were among those initially declared unaccounted for, or whether those unaccounted for were killed or just have not checked in with family.

Six people were injured in the blaze, including Zachary Sutterfield, who was taken to Brooke Army Medical Center in critical condition.

Investigators still don't know where in the complex the fire started, and thus have no information as to how the it started either, Kistner said. The investigation into the origin of the blaze could continue for weeks or months.

San Marcos city officials on Monday expressed their condolences to the victims' family, offering their thoughts, prayers and resources to all affected.

"As a community, our hearts are broken," said San Marcos Mayor John Thomaides.

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives' National Response Team is leading the investigation, with assistance from the state fire marshal's office and the San Marcos fire marshal.
