Crews are trying to identify the boat where the fire started and remove it. They say fire extinguishers at the dock were just serviced in October, and it's expected to take weeks to remove all of the boats that sunk.

FROM EARLIER:
Officials are holding a news conference Wednesday afternoon about the eight victims killed in a fire at Jackson County Park in Scottsboro.
We expect to learn the names of the victims who died at the dock on Monday. Crews have been at the scene since then to recover debris and investigate.
Right now, we know five of the eight victims were siblings and 19 years old or younger.
