Good day everybody, it is wednesday, august 17th, 2016. Here we go, scott. Talking about more heat, on scale everyone to ten, it will be a eight by this afternoon, take a look at bus stop buddy, muggy start, 70s, 80s, short leaves has his phillies hat on. Look at the humidity, still 100 , dover, 93 right now, and pottstown, and looking at humidity philadelphia at 74 . So, planning your day, looking at temperatures warming to 87 by lunch, 90 degrees by this afternoon, and hey, weve got a big ac air show taking place, look at the forecast. Warm, breezy, hazy sunshine, temperatures top out around 909 along the board walk, bob kelly . Make sure to put on your suntan lotion, but your shades, from looking up in the sky there. Here is a live look at the blue route, 7 02, as we get ready for some delays, the blue route, coming through delaware county, the benny not bad at all. Sun splashing, certainly sun glare again for our morning rush hour. Speedometer readings, down to double toothpicks here on the schuylkill expressway. South on 95, heavy cottman, down to girard. Accident in the neighborhood, just above aston, delaware county, pennell road which is route 452, right at highland. Traffic lights are out on the kelly drive. Right at fountain green. And then we have an accident on the Martin Luther king drive, which isnt that far from the art museum circle. So the drives are a little tough coming in this morning. Steves got the rest of the details on this fire location, route 130 and mt. Holly road, and mass transit looking good. Mike and alex back over to you. Lets go to the location right now. This is in Edgewater Park where steve is. Look, here is what bob just talk b youre looking right into the sun, like a lot of drivers are this time of day. You got that sun glare. And in addition, that sun, makes it feel like it is 30 degrees hotter, when you are standing in like we are now. This is route 130, where the right lane is completely shutdown. The middle lane, because if you just step out little bit, into this way, going to walk with you here, and just show them, you have got slow driving here, because you have got a couple of hundred firefighters, and ambulance personnel, and fire police here. Now, chris, come back with me if you can. These firefighters are coming, chris, come back. Chris, come back here, sorry, for example at home if i am yelling in your tvs. You see these firefighters coming out from the back of this rv center where they are going into smokey building, all of that gear, coming out here to get relief. Some of them they go to the fire hydrant, follow me again, chris, they go to this fire hydrant over there, little water skirts out of there. Kind of mist fan we saw earlier in moorestown, a lot of these guys are beverly, delran, cinnaminson, riverton, at the earlier fire. So it has been hours. Look at the guy putting wet tall behind his head. These guys have been out in this heat, humidity, for eight hours out. Mike, they are doing bang up job. They prevented both fire here in Burlington County from being bad fires, no one has gotten hurt, first fire likely caused by the weather overnight with lightning show. So weather playing a part in causing the fire perhaps. And also playing a part in fighting the fires, these guys, most of them volunteers, so after this long, tough night, putting their lives on line, know go to their regular jokes after this, so me, you, scott williams, alex, none of us complaining if we have to go out in this hot humidity today knowing what these guys did all night since around 1 00 a. M. Ill remember that for sure all day long. Fire on south street, right at south street inbetween wharton and reed streets. This one happened just about 1 00 this morning, dave kinchen assisting. Dave . Reporter thats right, south broad, let me step out the way, whats going on, first see the damage right there, threestory building, row home right there, certainly the top two floors where the fire, the flames were just shooting out of those windows right there. Fire crews are still here, right now, wharton and reed street. We should say south broad southd between ward on and read. As we take you into the video, philadelphia fire commissioner, they tell us that there was one firefighter injured in this case, but hes in stable condition, we dont know his he can act injuries, that was not disclosed, the heat was major issue for fire crews dealing with this case out here, also battled this blaze during the downpour of rain that came through early in the morning when the call came in around 1 10 in the morning, at least one person lives at this howls, we dont know if it was a house divided up into apartment unit. A neighbor described the scene. I woke up from some guy laying on the horn and like screaming at to be wake up. I look out the window, and i see the second floor, has like flames inside of it, people lining the block, knocking on dives. Still hot out here, even after the storm, not as hot as it was. Really takes toll on firefighters. Theyve been working, i was down in this neighborhood sunday, we had three on hand fires going at the same time across the city. Our firefighters, medics working in the heat for almost a week now it, takes a toll. Hard to stay hydrated when you are out here doing this every night. Theyve been out here doing it every night. Reporter no doubt about that at all. Fire commissioner also says it takes about two hours to get this fire under control at south broad street, 1300 block. They needed 75 firefighters to do that. Now, of course, the investigation begins. Was this weatherrelated in terms of the cause . We dont know that. Cause is not known right now, we do know again one firefighter hurt, injuries undisclosed stable condition at a hospital. Recovering at this hour. Back to you, mike anal next. Now, third fire, in moorestown, new jersey overnight. Group of townhomes went up in flames here, fire broke out on window clusters drive. Interesting name. Fire in california, state of emergency is declared in Southern California, as a fast moving wild fire forces 82,000 people to evacuate. Can you imagine . Wild fire has burned at least, well, a dozen buildings, shutdown, the main highway, between los angeles and las vegas. Then, up in northern california, fire crews are making progress on a wild fire there. And get this. They have arrest add guy who is accused of start that fire. Ridiculous. In louisianna, thousands of people are displaced from the devastating flooding. Eleven people have been killed in whats being called the worse flooding in the states history. The storm system damaged 40,000 homes, sending many people to shelters. Officials say the threat is not over. And new place cents downstream could still see heavy flooding i want everyone to understanded we are still very much in a emergency search and rescue response mode, for much of the florida parishes. Saving lives the most important part that we have. First responders have rescued 30,000 people so far. Remember there is video that we were showing . Oh, my god. Rescued woman as her car was singing into the water. Well, they continue to search more people that have been affected by this disaster. Talking about this last hour. Cell phone service has been down, trouble reaching people. Can you imagine if you have family in louisianna and you cant call them, cell phones are out, no idea how they are doing. 30,000 rescues . 30,000. Un real. Thankful for all of the First Responders out there working. I tell you something, if you come back to philadelphia as a baseball player, and like chase utley did last night, you got a standing ovation. But then hes got to play the game right . Have you heard what he it is lays night . First, here is the g ovation. Chase utley. Ripe howard there. Fans greeted utley with massive standing ovation, as he came up to bat. Hes been traded. So what did he do . Well, he struck out. He did. This are you kidding me . He comes back, and he hit a homerun. Now watch what happens when he goes into the dig out. Again, this is in philadelphia. Oh,. And he is long as less on the opposing team. I can understand a standing ovation at the beginning of the game. Keep cheering until he does a curtain call. The opposing team. Look at that. Pretty coolment then he gets up. Then, next, to up bat, maybe not the next one, but definitely, the bases are loaded. Bases are loaded. He hits a grandslam. This guy is magic. Thirteen to two. And now here is the question. If the phillies were still in the National League race, would they have asked for a curtain call . At this point the phillies arent going anywhere. The game is a blow out. I think chase utley so great, even if the phillies even if the phillies were in a race. It is chase utley. I dont think so. s philly forever. You saw the sign. I bet nobody was mad about it. Oh, it is chase, it is all good. You know whats weird . His first at bat, people booed. We struck him out. That was weird. How do you top that, chase utley . Do you have another game today . Big shake up for Donald Trumps campaign. Man, he cleaned up last night. New manager now calling all of the shots. Doug, what happened to paul manatofr . Is he still on . Still there. You know, the Trump Campaign doesnt like this term shakeup. No. Clearly seems to be whats happening here. No one actually has been fired. But we do have now a new campaign manager, to talk becomes and a new campaign chief executive. True. The Democratic Party is failed, and betrayed, the africanamerican community. Donald trump making a direct appeal to africanamerican voters in wisconsin. What appears to be new tactic coming from newly reorganized campaign. Paul manafor brought in earlier this summer to proficient eyes the campaign will remain the chairman, but two new hires, kelly ann conway, well known republican strategist, now the campaign manager, and steven ban on, who heads bright bart news is the chief executive. Not a shake up according to conway. He said in a statement this is an expansion during the busy home stretch in the campaign. Trump meantime is preparing for his first intelligence briefing today as a nominee. Conducted at f. B. I. Office in new york, just as the fbi turned over to congress, notes from their investigation into Hillary Clintons email set up. Information that the fbi says is classified, which is something clinton critics are seizing on. Court too long miss clinton, unclassified, cant have it both ways. Complete and utter failure of the system. The Clinton Campaign quick to say that the fb i am decided not to charge Hillary Clinton, than there are no new revelations here, but at the very least, this keeps Hillary Clinton controversial email set up in the spotlight a while longer. I notice you were saying trump is going to get briefed on some classified, really high level information. Why would they view that before, im sure they do this, as well, but why brief candidate then before even a necessary. What if they get elected and all of that info in their heads . Generally getting security clear lance, pretty tough theming to do. You dont need securely clearance if our major party nominee. You get these briefings without getting any kind of clearance. We dont think Hillary Clinton has had her yet, at least not saying that, but she will get one as well. Just so theyre prepared to take offers on day one. Day one. If they end up becoming the president. Now you know what all is going on in the country. Well, still want to do this . Now they know whats going on in area five; all of that weird stuff. Oh,. Do you believe in area 51 . Well, it does exist, right, we dont know whats really happened there. Doing weird stuff out there. We will talk about that later. If i disappear, it is probably because of this conversation. Well, maybe we will see you tomorrow. Well tell your family. Oh, thanks. Here we go, go not front page of the paper. I love doug by the way, can i just say . So great. Do you . Yes. Hes married. Just saying hes great. Kane takes her leave quickly. Boy she made quick decision there. Where is the other paper smear. Less than 24 hours . Oh, yes. Kane cracked. Kane cracks. Who will take her place . Montgomery County District attorney bruce castor will become acting attorney general today. After all these years. Hes wanted this. State Supreme Court justice will swear him in. Thats right. Kathleen kane announce dollars she will decline at the close of Business Today after jury convicted of her of perjury. Hillary Clinton Campaign rolled through our area, over at west philly high school yesterday afternoon. Urged every within to vote ahead of the october 11 deadline, also jabbed at donald trump, she took aim at what some consider the vagueness of his policies. I talk specifically about what i want to do. I know that some people make fun of me, they say oh, she has all of these plans, you could go to my website, and read my plan, but i tell you, you know why i do, that because i want you to know what im going try to do so you can both help me and hold me accountable for doing what i toll you i want to do. She said she will open Campaign Offers at 52nd and cedar. How about that . Ladies and gentlemen, the weather styling of scott williams. I dont know if you will be clapping after you hear the heatwave could be extended into today, mike and alex, talking about not at oppressive, still hot stepping outdoors by this afternoon, but the extreme heat and humidity will come to an end. High temperature around 90, maybe pop up isolated thunderstorm, hazy sunshine right now, 79 degrees, feels like 82. Thunder boomers overnight produce add lot of heavy rain, vivid lightning around the area into part of south jersey, in particular, camden county, Burlington County, but here is a little bit of relief by this afternoon, that weak frontal boundary will mean wind shifting more out of the west, northwest, of that, will dry the atmosphere out, lower that humidity. So still hot, but less humid is the headlines for today. High temperatures in philadelphia, around 90. By this afternoon. Most of us once again will stay dry. So area wide, 90 in center city, calling it not as oppressive. Down the shore, big air show, temperatures upper 80s, lehigh valley, 86 degrees, with that humidity dropping. 7 17, happy hump day, slow going on the turnpike, from ft. Washington, over to midcounty, starting to see a beginning of the morning rush hour, pop, and sun glare, all at the same time. Westbound on the schuylkill, i got the sun at your back as you head out of town, delays from the boulevard just inching along, up the hill, in toward conshohocken. South on 95, put about 22 minutes and jelly donut on the way, 422, the same deal, sun glare from observation oh, in through conshohocken. Then out in delaware county, right on the border line of aston and media here, pennell road which is 452, a crash at highland, Martin Luther king drive traffic lights, right at fountain green, so that will be hot mess for folks using the drives, coming into downtown. Alex back over to you. Thank you so much. Bob, 7 18. School bells are already ringing for student who attend Global Leadership academy in west philadelphia.

Absolutely, absolutely. All about eliminating that summer lost, one of the ways we do that is by operating on year around calendar, where they have shorter summer so get to the ground running after only four weeks off of school. Then we transition and have longer breaks throughout the year. I love it. Well, there is more kiddos coming in. Well be here for another half hour.
