fire had already cut through the roof. and that there had been multiple explosions. soon after that, the rolf itself collapsed. as you can see, it is merely a shell left. this building houses the philadelphia floor store. and another business, as well. areas surrounding here, residential homes nearby. i understand that both the electricity and the gas to those homes had been shut off to help firefighters get a handle on this building. now, what i understand is that petroleum-based chemicals were inside this one-story commercial building. and that likely caused excessive heat and excessive explosions during the battle. now, the major challenge to putting out this fire was getting water to the actual scene. firefighters had to lay down hundreds of feet of hose from multiple location toss tap into different hydrants in order to get the fire fast

enough. currently on ladders they're blowing the fire, the water down in order to get a handle on this fire, which is still continuing. and now the good news is that even though this building is pretty much destroyed, there has been no damage to surrounding homes, so many for major inconvenience, no one has been injured, none of the fire fight remembers injured. but the fire chief says it could take some time before this fire is completely put out. live in conshohocken, cherri gregg, "kyw news radio", cbs-3 "eyewitness news". all right, good news there, but definitely a devastating scene. thanks. >> also, new this morning row home goes up in flames, in trenton, new jersey, the fire in the 700 block of center street started just after 12:30. the fire reached two alarms, before firefighters could get it under control. no one there was injured. the cause is under investigation. >> we now know the identity of the driver killed when his truck slammed into a montgomery county school. police tell us, 32 year old

our area. so fortunately, it is a little quieter here. not even the fog that you have to so much, i can't see through this fog no, you can see through this fog. this is just a loft moisture that's out there and it is just creating that hazy look. but it is not bad at all. ben franklin bridge area right now, i am taking you on tour today. you can just stay put. you don't have to drive. you don't have to do anything. just watch the fog that is up at jack frost big boulder. that's been there this morning. then we head to the shore, you can see that hazy look there. but also, the clouds that are in the sky. people on the boardwalk well, not so many right now. but there will be. and you may be one of them, as well. temperatures mild in every single location, so, don't be afraid to go out someplace today, because look at these temperatures even this morning. they're mild. 70 degrees out at the airport in philadelphia, right now, 63 allentown, 61 degrees, in the poconos, 68 down in millville. sixty-six in wildwood at this point. so mild start to the day. there are clouds out there. we saw them on the cameras, we can see them here on storm

scan3, and there are showers. they are going to be moving on in. we will continue to find at least chances of showers scattered around the area going through the day not so much happening in our area right this second, but wilmington, if you see sprinkle or two pretty soon, it is probably to be expected. now our future weather this is projecting out in time. and computer models say yes we do have some clouds over us and they also believe that we will be finding by the time we hit later on this afternoon, some of these scattered showers coming into the picture. thunderstorm, perhaps. and you can see just by the bull's eye look when you see that, that's where heavier downpour may occur. again, these are computer models. so they're not completely right all the time. this may not be at 6:00. >> this may be 50 miles away from here. so that's why you just watch for some showers around the area, as we head into the afternoon hours and even maybe before that. because sometimes as we know the computer models aren't totally right. but they do give pretty good

guide. just about as good a guide as you can get. so by tonight, even some showers, scattered around. we get few breaks in the clouds tomorrow afternoon, we start to pick up more shower chances once again. and we will be continuing with that trend right through tuesday, with showers, here and there not a lot of rain coming out of this, just some rain chances. so watch for that today temperatures in the 80s tomorrow in the 70s and we jump many back to the 80s again by the time we get to tuesday, with every day a chance of some of the showers coming. and, right through being at impressive amounts of rain. all the computer models here, pecked what they think will be happening. and the most that any of them think would happen between now and tuesday, would be at about a third of an inch of rain, and many of the others say no, more like quarter of an inch of rain. so that i think will probably be what it is supposed to be. not wash out. that's why you should get out. 84 degrees, philadelphia today. seventy-five at the shore. poconos, 80 degrees. we don't have that much in the way of wind today out of the west between five to 10 miles an hour, tonight six a

degrees, and then we do pick up those shower, thunderstorm chances today and monday, and tuesday, but then after that, just big dividing line. everything looks just phenominal starting wednesday the way it is right now nicole temperatures in the 70s, sunshine. >> yes, it does, looks great carol, thank you. it is 7:19. we'll see how traffic is moving out there with ann evans. good morning ann. >> good morning nicole. we are eight flourtown traffic cam is anyway. and you are looking at 309 northbound at paper mill road. there is an accident here. as you can see the right lane blocked, emergency crews are on the scene. again, 309 northbound, paper mill road. right lane blocked by an accident. we move the traffic cam to the ben franklin parkway. and we have a lot of activity on the ben franklin parkway today. first of all, the ben franklin parkway is shutdown at the art museum circle for yoga for living. if you look to the left, that's martin luther king drive. shutdown through the ben franklin parkway montgomery drive. for recreational activities, kelly drive shutdown to the

right, and for the alumni sprint regatta. shun down art museum circlement on kelly drive the animal rescue having family fun day today 10:30 to 2:30, one boathouse row. that will portion of kelly drive open. watch out for delays and detours around that area. okay those are the events. we move the traffic cam again to the ben franklin bridge, now the ben franklin bridge this morning has construction on both sides both directions, the westbound and the eastbound both heading into philadelphia and new jersey. right now, it is not slowing things down. but you might want to take the walt whitman bridge later on in the day. a couple of traffic couple of of mass transit note. first of all amtrak like you've been hearing service still suspended between philadelphia and new york because every tuesday's derailment. that's expected to be in effect until this tuesday that's the latest, i'm ann evans, nicole, back to you. >> thanks for the update. coming up on "eyewitness news", carol answers your pet questions in this week's ask the vet.

making the tests and selling the tests.
