Frigid weather making battle harder for Fire Fighters. Jenny joyce standing by live, this morning, jenny. Good morning, thomas and alex. You heard fire commissioner say early this morning it was a young man died in this fire, and a 39 yearold man was taken into Presbyterian Hospital. We dont have his condition at this time, but we do have joining us now nadine calhoun, you live behind the corner and you said you called 911 this morning. Yes. Reporter tell us what you thaw, what woke you up. I heard screams. I immediately went to my bedroom window, and i could see, thick cloud of smoke just billowing out of the roof of the house on the back street of me and i called 911. I knew it had to be bad. So immediately, you know, my immediate thought was to make sure that i call 911. I didnt come out, because it was just real early in the morning. Im in my pajamas. But i knew there could not have been survivors. Reporter why do you say that. Because it was thick. I could see embers, one fire coming out of the rooftop of the home. I could see that clear from my home, from my window. It it was that clear, you know , embers still on fire, going up in the sky, and it seemed to have taken a while for the fire trucks to come, you you know, to to put out the fire. Yes. It was a good while. It had went on for i watched it for over an hour and a half , and it was, you know, i had several trucks on my front street and i called a friend of mine and i told him because he has to be at work. He works with septa. I said you will not be able to come down this street, you know, because they have a big fire. Reporter right. We saw fire trucks, they were blocking all of the area streets. Thank you so much, nadine. We have talk to the commissioner earlier this morning and he said that, the conditions got so bad, it was so hot, inside, that fourth row home in from the end on the the 1200 block of millick street was like a thousand degrees. That was one challenge for Fire Fighters. They could not enter the building at 1,000 degrees. They also had trouble dealing with the ice, because it was so cold, it is so cold this morning, that those streets were icing up. But as soon as water main contact. Heres a listen from the commissioner. Im here with tragic news. We have a fire this morning. After a very fast response, aggressive interior attack and rescue effort by our Fire Fighters and patient care by paramedics, unfortunately we believe we have a fire death of a young man and as you can see behind me, crew as arrived very quickly. They mounted a very fast, aggressive, interior attack, but inside fire bidding and extended on two other adjacent occupancies. We have nine people displaced. We have one of the occupants in the hospital. And another one is inside, and again, it is just an incredible job by our folks on this very cold, very windy night unfortunately it the looks like this is despite their best efforts it wasnt enough to save this young man. Reporter so cold, ice, wind, that made conditions here extremely difficult for Fire Fighters, battling for the at least over an hour here this morning. At this point Fire Fighters dont know the cause. They dont even know where the fire started, they to know that is the young man in the upstairs back bedroom, when he was found. Thanks, jenny for that update. Coming up on 7 08. Three suspects in custody after Police Say One fired at a uniformed officer. All this taking place in olney. Steve keeley on the the scene. This originally started with the man being wanted forearmed robbery. Reporter well, house fires , car fires, brutal cold and i have a happy end to go what could have been a far worse story. Here we are in feltonville right here on the boulevard right next to the school. You see Head Start Program here, playground, and that is because six hours later, bunch of kid would have been around when bullets were flying around right here on the boulevard which is one of the busiest intersections at rising sun. Lets go to the video. You will see a nissan pickup truck, and 17, 18, 19, out in the cold when they should have been home in the warm bed. If not, studying for an exam today. But these kids, probably not even in school, and anymore, and what happened was they are looking around in the cold, and for a victim, to rob. And can you imagine having to be out in this cold and just fighting the cold and then somebody sticks a gun in your face and holds you up. That happened to 21 yearold who managed to get to the cops and tell them about it and cops find this truck just as he explained it and find three guys n they pull it over, they stop, take off, police lose it during a small, one minute long chase, but they find the car parked, and three guys nearby. Heres inspector scott small telling us what happened next. Police did an excellent job on the freezing cold night, not only identifying the vehicle and chasing and apprehending all three of these robbery suspects but they showed a whole lot of restraint after getting fired upon the Police Officers for some reason they did not returned fire. Maybe they could in the get a clear shot. They did a great job. They did not return fire even though they were definitely fired upon and apprehended all three of the suspects. They are all teenagers. One juvenile, 117, other two are 18, 19, the gun that they fired was recovered in the alley by police. So great job by 24th District Police on this freezing cold night. Reporter not recovered the gun with these bullets that they also found, how about that. Live ammunition, among a bunch of bags of drugs on the ground , a little bone to us this bust and so they call the Fire Department for some help, for some lad tours get up on the rooftops here on the boulevard to look for a second gun that one of these three guys probably threw up there, to hide from the cops. And they brought in a k9 too to sniff out that second gun. Arms alarming when you see somebody packing extra bull nets their pockets with the drugs meaning they expect to fire bullets they got in the gun load todd begin with and in case they need to reload, they need playing around in the pocket. If you hear somebody with noises in the always spare change but spare ammunition. Good thing, i dont remember crocket and tubs being fired on and never firing back but still making bust that philly cops did in real action here overnight. Thanks, for that update, steve. You have to wonder the mind set of people. We saw a couple days ago another crime scene where we saw 30 plus shell casings on the ground, ambush style, execution style shooting people expected, teenagers that are out there. Time is 7 11. Developing this morning. Two philadelphia Police Officers are shaken but okay after a Early Morning car crash. A driver slammed in that patrol car sending both cops to the happened. It happened at 2 00 this morning near broad and snider. They are a man and woman from the third police district. It appears that the man who struck them was not badly hurt were waiting to learn what charges he might face. Coming up on 7 12, president obama holds his traditional end of the Year Press Conference today before heading to had wiz for christmas. In comes, as white house and president east electric trump are in a Heated Exchange over russian involvement the in the election, doug luzader is in washington trump refusing to accept this. Reporter thomas, and alex, good morning, it is a cold war all over again. We are very likely hear more from president obama later on today specifically about these allegations of russian medaling in the election last month and this is creating new tension between the Obama Administration and president elect trump. So much for day tant budding relationship between president obama and president elect trump has hit a rough patch over russia with president obama that russia may face consequents for medicineling in last months lex after his administration specifically blames russias president vladamire putin. We need to take action and we will at a time and place at our own chosing. Reporter president will drive that point home in is what expect to be his final press conference of the year but thus far it has been his spokesmen josh earner saying president elect encourage russian email hacks. Mr. Trump obviously knew that russia was engaged in malicious cyber activity that was helping him in hurting, secretary clintons campaign. That drew a swift rebuck from trump who held a rally last night in pennsylvania. Although this foolish guy, josh ernest i dont know if he is talking to president s bam a. You know, having the right press secretary is so important because he is so bad the way he delivers a message. Reporter he went a step forward ask russia or somer entity was hacking why didnt the white house wait so long to act. Why did they only complain after hillary lost . Republican members of the Electoral College this message is for you. Reporter with the Electoral College happening on monday a group opposing trump is now running a video with actors urging republican elect ors to defy voters and cast their own ballots against trump. But heres the thing with that that group is asking republican electors not necessarily to vet for Hillary Clinton. They specifically say you dont to have vote for Hillary Clinton just vote for anyone other than donald trump if that were to happen neither clinton or trump would reach 270 vote threshold in the Electoral College when that happens the election gets handed over to the u. S. House of represent controlled by republicans and presumably they would vote for donald trump. Back to you guys. It is not even likely that they would vote against donald trump. Reporter none of this is very likely, the associated rest did a survey of these electors and town one that was willing to flip side, you know , they may be lying to reporters about this but there is no indication that there will be an Electoral College revolt here. Thanks, doug. You said it, it is like a movie in the headaching. You read all these reports about what, you know, allegations what went on during election, it is out there.

Facebook also says that it will let us report, potentially fake news, by clicking on a link, there is a picture of right there. It is story determined to be bogus, it will be tagged with an alert message to to let you know it the is being disputed. Facebook released a mock up of the screen that will let users report a fake news story. Facebook came under fire after election when they were so many people blaming fake news for confusing voters. And just last month Facebook Ceo Mark Zuckerberg said the site had a lot of work to do with the way it handled all of those fake stories. Makes people not trust what they are seeing. I will not even read it. Alex, says tell me more about the kangaroos. Is that really a story i miss that had one. Well, something goes around on facebook i wouldnt be surprised if it was a story that people believed. We all have to work together. So many elements of this one.

A girls got to eat now. Dont mess with the big news. I really did save hundreds on my Car Insurance with geico. I should take a closer look at geico.

Lets find out is what going on here. Hillary vaughn, good morning, so what is the deal. Good morning, thomas. Mcmatch made in heaven because mcdonalds is partnering with uber eats ape this is notable because that is one of the first major large fast food chains that has joined uber eats and offering their food through this food delivery application that delivers your food, right to your doorstep. Heres where you can get it. There are only testing this out this florida. Orlando, tampa and miami is where you need to be if you need to order from mcdonalds and get it delivered straight to you. And they are testing this out starting in the new year and they say, if all goes well they will expand this across the country so no pressure, but im hoping that florida eaters, rate this high so we can have it across the country wow. Only thing though is i really like high fries hot. That is something you cannot have cold, it effects the the taste. That is right, exactly. You need to figure that out because you cannot reheat the fries as we all know. Hopefully they have a sort of device to keep them toasty, crunch chicago and crispy and warm. Will they charge you extra too on top of the delivery fee on top of everything. There is a delivery fee, so you have to factor that into it as well, and, we will see, you know, how many options are on the menu are available for this ordering, as well, so it is, you know, we will see what they debut starting in january you know what would be really cool, drones carrying big macs all over the city just dropping them down. Yes. As long as they to the law. That would be a dream. It will happen, mcdonalds, burger king, whoopers above your head. It would be easier, waiting in long lines. Around lunchtime chickfila, mcdonalds, all of those, the lines are so long. Just all walk inside. Maybe we should be walking to the fast food restaurant. Were speaksed to be walking, running, all that. Thanks, hillary. Interesting to go see this all goes good are you from philly. Prove it. How twitter is verifying if you are really necessity our city.

Roof was found guilty in last years shooting death of nine black parishioners in charleston. The jury convicting him on all 33 federal charges, including, hate crimes. Doctor mark tyler, pastor from Mother Bethel Ame Church joins us now. Good morning to you. Good morning. What were your first thoughts. Good morning. I know you had a relationship with reverend pinckney and familiar with this church in charleston. What was your first reaction when you heard about the verdict. First of all, i thought that was quick, you know, i thought this would drag out until next year. I was happy that it is over. Im happy for families that they can go to sleep at night knowing this is behind them. The sad thing is that this verdict will in the bring their loved ones back, those nine lives are gone and their families will never be the same. Even with the trial, some of the details coming out, we knew he confessed and had a written manifesto but hearing those details about why he target that had church in charleston. You know, i have to confess , there is a certain part of me that has not wanted to follow this case too closely. It is so close to home. I tell people all the time mothers man ellis mere image of mother bet until charleston the founder of mothers manual is buried at mother bethel. So, dylann roof lived in pennsylvania. You know, he could be reverend pinckney talking about me right now. That is how close it is. It is a painful story. There is no upside. Even this guilty verdict will national change anything. What was conversation you had with the church or currently having right now just about this situation, and moving forward. Well, again, i dont, maybe it is just people dont want to talk about it, because of the fact it is so close. The it is really frightening for members of our church to think you could be so vulnerable. The it is not like they broke in. They invited him. We have bible studies. We have worship. He we want them to come in. He spent an hour for them praying. I knew reverend simmons as well, and didnt know others but to though he could spend that kind of time there and still to it, it is incredible. So what do you say, to some of parishioners, you know, because i have been, to mother bethel. Beautiful church. The history. That is why it gets draw. You have tours. That kind of thing. How to you protect yourself because church is supposed to be an opened lays. We have always had security , and if you think about it, mothers manual did too. They buzzed him this. Certainly after that and environment were living in a lot of congregations including ours have taken extra steps. Some people just dont see but those of us in the leadership of the church though it is there because my concern is always the member who are there and our visitors to keep them safe and so that is fore most in my mind. Does this respark a conversation we had just regarding the black church. In what way. How society, in america, in talking, starting conversation about race in america. Well, isnt it strange, ironic, sad just across the street another trial has been going on and was dead lock. So michael slager, walter scott trial and slager was not convicted. Im sure for people were there watching this trial, that brought a sense that even they we get the a convictions here, that in another case that seems to be, you know, quote unquote black and white, there is not a convictions. Issue of race is not resolved by just this one guilty verdict. If he wasnt quick, there would be an outcry. But how to we get convictions in other cases that to many people are also this brainers like the Walter Scott Shooting kind of restated question here but we talk about moving forward. I want to continue the conversation on how we move forward, we mentioned race. We talk about race . How do you talk about race and mention race to your congregation. We talk bit all the time. It is central part of who we are, our church was founded as a result of being segregated in white church in the 1700 and it came out. The wouldnt it be great if we can say now 200 plus years later the world has changed and we can all just have one big church, but reason you have black churches this this country is because those issues have not been rehave solve. Very often they become a sanctuary for people who throughout the rest of the week cant find that kind of support. It shows their importance. When it comes to other am e churchs cross the country have you been in contact to keep their memory alive of some of the victims. So listen, we lift them up all the time and your big connectional meetings around the country and they are never forgotten. The facebook is, just go to facebook to any of folks, people are talking about this. A lot of people are happy there was a conviction. They want to move beyond it. But like me are talking about other issues as well. Great dylann roofies convicted but what about michael slager. Does church have a opinion of you talk about the Death Penalty, life this prison. Us being pastor on facebook calling for Death Penalty for dylann roof and others say life is enough. I think youll find same divide in our church as you will throughout the rest of society but at the even of the day whether he dies or not, it is not going to change the fact that he has ruined nine families forever. And sanctuary in so many ways for a are the of families and a community there in charleston. Good news he didnt get what he wanted. He wanted a race war and he didnt get it. Thank you so much. Reverend tyler, appreciate it. Coming up 7 37. Sue .

Lots going on not only it this but through weekend, sueby has the forecast in 15 seconds. Last weekend before christmas weekend is coming up. You probably have plans for tonight. Of course, you know to bundle up. Do you know that . Can you see how cold, walking out the door. This is what it feels like. Teams like seven in philadelphia. Zero in lancaster. Six this millville, new jersey the heres the timing of the snow, and this is important if you are going out tonight. About midnight 1 00 in the morning at the latest is when we will start to see the first flakes, maybe earlier, but it snows on and off throughout the morning, until about six or 7 00 and then we will see change over with warmer air moving from the south and then the rain it rolls in by eight or 9 00 oclock in the morning when our winter wet ther advisory end. We will still see rain, through about lunchtime and by 3 00 in the afternoon we will get a break in the action. You can run out, do your shopping on saturday and then we will look at more rain coming on sunday, we will get an early high, very mild 60 degrees and after cold front comes through chillier air starts to drop, temperature. Rape will linger throughout the rest of the afternoon iron evening. That is timing of the the precipitation, that is coming in the wake of the cold temperatures that we have today, so todays high only in the 20s. It feels colder then that. Went be quite as windy as yesterday. Tomorrow in the 40s, early high of 60 degrees on sunday, much colder monday and tuesday and not even winter until we get to wednesday, and you know , thomas and alex, today is ugly sweater day. Well, there is roofus our dog. Oh, cute. Is that a turtle neck. Yes, it is. That dog was so mad at me for making him wear that this morning but i thought he looked cute in his ugly christmas sweater to take. He toss look cute. Thanks for sharing that one , sue. 7 51. Eagles and ravens they are happening sunday at 1 00 right here on fox 29. Final road game of the season but it doesnt matter, right this after last weeks loss to the redskins we are not making playoffs here. We have eytan sander, and garry cobb and brian sartar here. Lets finish strong is that it that what is going to happen. It is about players, it is about guys showing they are serious professionals and that they are going to be prepared to play. They are really trying out for next year that is what you have going on. They will get rid of a lot of people. Guys that dont play well new will be looking for jobs. You have some names that height be looking for jobs seen. I think the whole roster will be looking for jobs. Wide receivers, jordan matthews. Wide receivers, cornerbacks i dont know about you guys , but ill tell you who is looking for a job, everybody but jordan matthews. Everybody but. They will keep jordan. I dont know but im so excited, i might put up my Christmas Lights up again rat are than watch this game. Last game, last road game, i thought when schedule came out this would have some teeth, bite, this could be a good game to travel for eagles fans you dont want to travel two hearst this is rain and cold. Number one defense in the nfl. Point will be tough to come by they will testify play very well in order to keep it where it the is interesting, because i dont want to see carson wentz get hurt. If they throw the ball too much, i dont want to see him out there. If they throw the ball too much you have Terrell Suggs and elvis doomerville coming off corner, they are freight pass rushers. They get enough shots on carson we dent want to see him carted off. Jim harbaugh is good against rookie quarterbacks. Untea feeted against rookie quarterbacks. He knows when to put his foot on the gas and pressure this rookie. He is right. Yes. You dont want him dropping back 60 or zero seven times. He came back with the better game plan against washington but they still, Doug Pederson has that andy reid mentality. He gives up on the run. That is not what you do. You have to help this guy. Throwing the ball 50, 60 times is not helping. They have to stay with their running game. Defense needs to help. The defense, that defensive line has got to play great. Ravens are no joke. Lets just imagine here, lane johnson, final game suspension will be this sunday , right. Yes. How do you think this season would be had he been here. Good question. They are the best lineman in the nfl when he got suspended, gary. That is a big maybe. Nineseven. I dont know that because, really this team has got holes this it. They just got a couple holes thistive rent positions. He was a big hole. They traded another one. They have been on their fourth tackle of the season out there. This guy let the whole city down. On the rookie quarterback what he did to lose ten games like that both washington games put guys in bad positions. He didnt know what he was doing. He didnt know what he was doing. The web site didnt change at all. I will tell what you one big thing with this team, the players have got to get together, to where certain things they tea man of each other. They cannot let another player do what lane did, it has got to be personal between them. This is just between coaches where you go look we will not to this type of thing. We will answer to each other. We will be there for each other. Because he did hurt them this year by not being there. Should i ask what the score will be your redixon or does it even matter. It is not that it doesnt hatter in that you want to see them compete. Road game. It will be very difficult. Ravens have playoffs on the mind. With all of that, i would say 2413 ravens win. Thirtyonesix. Eleven, wow. Twentythreeten. I have given eagles the ten this tea fence is very, very good. That is not an easy lays to play as well in baltimore. Jim harbaugh knows what he is doing. Do not go down there and let carson get banged around. If he takes too many shots i will have him sit over there on the oak. Can we do anything else to pump up the ratings. Watch it right here at 1 00 x you know were a true tan. Can we talk about the flyers. We will, we will because we talk about them earlier and we will get to 11 in dallas against the stars.

The fire broke out on the 1200 block of millick street around 4 00 this morning. Fire fighters say they have dealt with a number of challenges, and at one point, commissioner tiehl says that flames reached 1,000 degrees, the extreme heat forced Fire Fighters to retreat. Additionally they dealt with icy conditions, freezing cold temperatures and wind. They have battled the fire for an hour. Three row homes destroyed. Nine people are without a home when smoke cleared Fire Fighters were devastate todd learn a young man didnt make it out of the home. It is a very large fire fight more an hour fire fight because of the very cold, very windy conditions, very tough fire ground. I was just in the building. The as i crews made it up to the second floor the fire did a flashover which essentially involved the entire building and fire. Just a tough fire fight. Our folks, you know, they are just, devastated, and, devastating fire. It is very cold. You can see were fighting ice right now, all of the crews, they are all iced up. There was the wind, that drove the fire, exit, initial occupancy, drove tonight to two other adjacent exposures. So we really had fire in three row houses.

We saw hoses being brought from a couple blocks away to try to get water to the home. It is unclear whether or not this fire hydrant could have made a difference. We will talk to commissioner tiehl more about that as the day goes on but we dont know a cause orr again was in a second floor rear bedroom, alex. Very sad to hear, thanks, jenny.

It has been nominated for seven golden globe award and stars ryan gosling and emma stone. Star wars rogue one is out. You are about to see it. Kevin, good morning. My goodness. I love it. Good to see you guys. I was adjusting high tie. Yes. We see all of you. Yes. We can tell. This is awesome. Lets hear about lala land first and then star wars. Yes, lala land, alex, i enjoyed our text conversation last week for over an hour about the movie arrival. We were texting about that all friday that it. That is how i spent my friday night, thank you. Have you seen it. You got the to see that movie. Were still trying to figure out the meaning of that hoff i but lets go to lala land. It is stars emma stone and ryan gosling. It is one of the best hoff he is i have seen this years. I think it will win best picture. Idea behind the film is that emma stone plays an actress who falls this love with ryan gosling a musician and it business them achieving their dreams in hollywood, l. A. , beautiful, revolutionizees musical, damon is a 31 yearold film maker who also did the movie whiplash which was a masterpiece as well. I spoke to emma stone who, by the way, in real life, moved to l. A. At 15 years old and struggled with the auditioning process. In the film her character actually gives up at one point and goes home. I wanted to know did that ever happen to her this real life, watch this. I probably had that every six whose. But i didnt go home. Iowa just cry on the floor and say, i want to give up. Im done. I want to give up. It is over. Then i would either be in the room with my mom or call someone and they would say, you owe kay, you want to go home. I would say, well, in but i give up. Im not going home. Then it would just start all over again. I have had that experience in the middle of shoots, on movies, like, i have been in the middle of shooting hoff is and well, like after this one, it is over. I cant do it anymore. I obviously dont though how to act what the hell am i doing with my life is this it is a consistent part of the process i think. I gave the movie a five out of five, definitely worth seeing. My sixth, five out of five of the year. Star wars is what everyone is talking about today rogue one. If you are not tam with the universe of star wars this takes lays in between episode three and episode four, what that means is the first star wars hoff i ever made was in 1977. Now this episode four, this takes lays directly before that and deals with the rebels who steel the lance for the death star. The action in this hoff i is amazing. The third act is fantastic. There is a scene in the third act of the hoff i that is two long that i would pay full price to watch on a loop for 20 hours. It is owe good. Now my problem with the film, is of the script issues, middle was a little bit long but it toss deliver for star wars fans. I gave it four out of five. Not as good as force awakens but it does deliver. Do not see it in 3d i max and digital. It is not worth it. Im seeing tonight 2dimax on saturday and tweet out that review as well. There is a scene that will make you geek out beyond belief. It is awesome. I am sure you had third tears. New spin off is a conn. I have seen a lot of negativity about this hoff i. No, i have seen a lot of positive reviews. Im in the saying it is perfect. It is a b on my scale. There is some problems in the middle and with some of the script but once you hit that third act and see scene im talking about i cant believe any person would not the like that scene. That scene is insane. One critic you need to listen to and that is me. I could not tell you are a star wars tans good High Expectations for it. I hate star wars. I hate star wars. I hate it. Thanks, kevin. We will judge for ourselves. Should we to it again, text and advertise cuss tonight. Yes, i want weekly alex text session. Yes. We need to do this every friday night.

You pour it apart, greek fe ta cheese which is probably your most important part. Salt and pepper, very easy. Binding, flour and just some egg wash. Couple of eggs. Three eggs. Yes, but shredded potatoes. This will make about eight portions. So, you know, it is probably eight actual potatoes, three eggs, dill. And we just stir it up. He we stir it up and everything gets milk together and everybody gets in the pool together. Stir it up. Make some kind of a pancake and then we are just ready to fly. How did this recipe come about. We were asked, 12 years ago , i think we were asked when we first opened to start to come to lacca party and we thought what could we do as a greek restaurant, what works, in a will be a and we talk about it. And it just kind of, seemed to work. We have worked with this recipe and played witt the for a little while and it became our standard and we have been participating every year since when we go to this event, all these restaurant, circles, thai food and they put their spin on the laccas there you can go from places to places.

Thomas, im very excited to peak to you and we will get to that in a second but i cant help but note because as you may know, mike like to trash talk me about the redskins and the eagles and the fact that the eagles lost the second game that we swept them this year, last sunday, and he is not the here to face music with me here today, i think it says a lot about mike. You know he will have a come back for you next week. That is why he took the take off. He is coming for you high friend. What do you got on the ram, my friend. This weekend we will talk about the russian hacking but political impact in this country because elect tors, when we all voted november 8th , we werent actually electing a president , we were electing elect tors. We talk about 270, there are 58 of them around the country, divided by population of the various states. They are voting monday. It is when donald trump gets 27 seer he plus votes that he will become the next president and, now you have got democrats saying that democratic elect tors saying they want a intel briefing about the russian hacking before they vet, and that a member of congress don bier a demies saying they want to put off electoral vote until they get that intel briefing. We will talk to a couple elect tors, don bier about this and we will talk to the top member of the trump team who says thinks all sour grapes, democrats just cant deal with the fact that they lost and donald trump won. We heard rumbling out of colorado whatever happened with that about the electrical college. That wouldnt matter a whole lot because Hillary Clinton won there. The whole point is to try on get people where trump won, theyre electric tors to switch, and vote for either Hillary Clinton or someone else and throw it the in the house of representatives. I dont think it will happen but it does show even after the election where you usually get a little bit of the honey moon during transition that the opposition, the partisan ship when it comes to donald trump and some could argue on his side is just as bitter as it ever was. It will not change anything he is denying those allegations. Chris wallace, host of Fox News Sunday always a good ram , thanks, for joining us. All right, listen up, when we feel very best look in the mir on spend a couple hours, alex spend 15 minutes she tells me competenting ready every single morning, the time of the day you feel your best.

I do not, do you. I saw pictures of your apartment, pretty sad. Look at you. What do you have going. I have it all going on . We seen pictures of you been ing over. Dont go there. It is still sad though. It is importantes especially if you have a tree it just takes seconds for trees to go up in flames. Something as simple as where you place your tree may save your house. Lets get out to steve keeley. He has got some stuff we need to listen to this morning. Hi there, steve. Reporter it has been a great christmas for he. Check out my new Christmas Gifts, my ogden engine 55 warm winter hat. I always wanted to play a fire tighter. Do you see these trees here. Live in this area, buy your Christmas Tree from a volunteer 100 percent, Ogden Fire Company. Every penny goes to help put out fires and you may need these guys some day. How cool is this . All of these trees look perfect. We have here with dana tidwell we talk about tree safety. Before the tree gets set up it we comes a fire hazard. You have to get it safely home i have driven over three trees in moorestown since i moved over there usually,. Oh, no, we have lost steve. We will get back to him. We want to see see his report. It is important. People have their trees and it the is all important how you take care of it because it could get dangerous. Did you have a live tree growing up. Yes. It depend on the ear year. Some years we would do a live tree. Another one we will have a different kind of one. When living in wyoming, i didnt realize it was you. I thought it would be to you help you. You go to the lot. And it is out in the forest. You had to chop it town. I had a butter knife. It took meehan hour and a half , hacking away. This is a true story. Tie it to the hood of the car. Going down the highway, it slide off. It slides off, breaks in half, still take it home, trying to put it together. Too ball too tall for the season. That is a different tree. Why did you cut it with a butter knife. I only had a little saw in the car. A the lot of question there that was my father, wow say you have to protect yourself, back in the day when i lived in wyoming. Whole different story out there. But i had it in my car. Would i use this. Yes. You need a awe. I know that, alex. I know that, alex. First and only time i ever chopped down a tree but my little special memory in my heart. If it went well it wouldnt be as memorable. Yes. Pain will get you through life. Yes, i will live a long life. Twitter is verifying if you really know our city of brotherly love. They are putting you to the test. Are you really philly. 8 54. Live lot roosevelt boulevard, disabled septa bus off to the side but not attracting any attention. Most of the rush hour delays cleared out, bennie looking good, this problems at all, friday mornings are light, coming in the city but it is a cold one out there. And having problems on the rails this morning, the trains , the switches, switch problems, on both lansdale doylestown, and media elwyn line running with some delays. In express trains on the market frankford line so all trains making all stops, mainly to keep everybody from standing outside on the platforms any longer then they have to and that is same deal going with the 101, 102. Alex and thomas, back to you. Steves doing manikin challenge earlier. Everything froze. We will check back with him , steve. Yes, everything is freezing , even tv equipment. You see her triple a suv with the Christmas Tree on top neat ly tied. Christmas tree safety begins with just getting it home safe is what key tip when you tie a tree to your roof. If you have roof racks on the top of your car make sure that they secure the tree, with the twine, to the roof racks. The front end, the trunk of the tree, toward the front of the the car so weight is evenly distributed. Very important. Road debris is a cause have of vehicle crashes. So if that tree goes flying, it can cause a crash right behind me and that is not how anyone wants to start the holiday. Because everybody swerves to avoid hitting it. Of course. Tie it good. Dont drive with one hand and hold the tree with the other hand. Absolutely in the both hand on the wheel at all times. We will turnaround here and we will put a new tree there. Because of our equipment freezing, we have the tree burning and tree burned so fast that we had to get a replacement tree in here. So, megan, i know you gave me a minute back there and im about 40 seconds in but we will show you how quick a Christmas Tree can burn. Look at that, perfectly good tree but we will spin it around, if you didnt see me earlier, the Ogden Fire Company raises money to support this all volunteer fire company in business putting out fires since 1923. So boost your tree, if you live any where near here, from the Ogden Fire Company and every penny thaw pay for your tree will go towards helping the fire company. The plus they will headache sure that it is secured properly tour rooftop. They will tie it on to your roof, they might even deliver it. Chris fox, turnaround for a second. I want to show, craig, we showed how quick a perfect looking tree and that thing burned up in a minute. Is that the typical pine tree fire then. That is it. And they went quick to any furniture. Really fast. Craigs small, no relation to scott small, i have interviewed two smalls on the air, philly cop and now ogden fire chief and in relation. No sir. Thank you once again. So we have a tree here. We will light it up with a flare. Do you see the guy over there, that little elf. This is the chair i was sitting in. People have their Christmas Tree in the living room near their nice ray more and flannigan furniture, one of the combustible and we had a fatal fire today and knows how that started but a lot of fires this time of the year start because people leave their tree, lit when they shouldnt be. Craig, i want to ask you another question with Christmas Trees catch fire what are one of the causes do the lights catch fire. Usually the lights . Anytime you have lights worn, damage, get rid of it, throw it this is trash. Keep from it a heater, fireplace but mess of the causes are lights. You shouldnt leave lights on all night. No, sir. Or for hours because is it the heat from the lights. Usually faulty wire, the outer wire, covers and broken. Bear wires and heres my idea. You and i will be millionaire. You and i should have, and infomercial next year, a star for the top of the tree that also doubles as a smoke alarm and fire alarms, how about that a christmas ornament. How about something in there that will put the fire out. We will have a extinguisher , our followup infomercial. Not a bad idea to have some kind of a ornament that is a smoke alarm and, if that tree catches fire like that, that alarm war blaring. We will toss to it break here and keep with this shot as long as we can and you will see flames at the foot of the tree. Look at this, watch how that fast that thing goes up and again that is a simulated apartment of mine. I had a murphy bed. I didnt have as good paneling but look the at these flames from a little fire to a big fire awfully fast and when that tree gets caught the rest of the housings up, and you are asleep and upstairs and left your lights on alternate because you like that christmas sense through the window from the the outside, but it could be a deadly sense , if you leave your lights on. So shut light off at night before you go to bed and probably never leave that tree unattended with lights on if you can help it because, this could be your living room before you you know it
