stairwell. >> it was very scary. first of all, they weren't able to come down. then when the fire department did a great job and it was difficult for them to come down to ladder because they are stuck. diane: the fire caused estimated $200,000 in damage. it appears to be accidental. under investigation now. coming up all new at 5:00, we hear from the firefighters who helped rescue the people from the balcony last night. in prince george's county, diane cho, abc7 news. jonathan: they did an amazing job. thanks. update now from the breaking news from yesterday. the object that prompted evacuation of a dozen homes in northwest washington was part of a rocket propelled grenade. found in the backyard of a vacant home in the neighborhood but they aren't saying where the object came from or who it may belong to or who left it there.

the investigation is still ongoing. the federal report says that inadequate safety inspection led to the death of a virginia man last august. daniel potter died in a silo collapse in the quarry in ashburn. they failed to followup on an investigation that found the silo bulk head corroded. michelle: a serious incident at daycare center. the development center was evacuated because of what is described as a carbon monoxide incident. no one had to go to the hospital. but several people were evaluated from possible c.o. poisoning. the center notified parents answer children were sent home early. jonathan: we are getting reprieve from the bitter cold air from the last few days but it does not mean the weekend is picture perfect. doug hill has a look at what to expect. doug: at the moment it's perfect perfect outside the belfort furniture weather center. most ofiary where clear skies.

to come up. first, birther 2.0. remember the term "birther" when people questioned where president obama was born. now another controversy. this one is riled up mostly by donald trump. he is talking about ted cruz born to an american mother but while in canada. he and others are saying out loud is he able to be president. and you have three governors who argue that because they can run a state they can run the nation. we are talking about jeb bush, john kasich and chris christie. they have to do something to move up to the top three. finally, the carson camp. last week we talked to dr. carson about the fact that his campaign chairman stepped down, they have five staffers in total that quit that week. we are talking to them because the finance chair re-signed.

the -- finance chair resigned. carson said it's about value over volume. their likability and favorability is high. resonate with the voters to get the policy issue out there. three of the things to keep an eye on closely tonight. live in north charleston, scott thuman, abc7 news. michelle: thank you, scott. the national park service about to drain the lincoln memorial as part of the cleaning that is done every year. the work is expected to take between 30 and 60 days. the reflecting pool is 150 feet wide and 22,000 feet long and holds 6.7 million gallons of water. jonathan: coming up for us here at "abc7 news at 4:00" -- the list is out. oscar nomination and the big snubs. plus, who are kidd o'shea's -- what does he think about the golden globes and how they chancer if to oscar gold -- transfer to oscar gold? michelle: new look at the self-driving cars. out often the person behind the wheel had to take control

to avert disaster. >> michelle, coming up after the break we will talk about brand new benefits for d.c. residents that would be the best benefit as far as family and medical leave go in the entire country. i'm sam ford in northwest. i will tell you who is for it and w

michelle: the ability to take time off work when you're sick or a loved one has a baby is a luxury a lot of people don't have. d.c. is weighing legislation to change that. both sides got a chance to weigh in today. sam sweeney has a look at the complicated issue. sam? sam: michelle, a hearing today that went back and forth. this bill would give d.c. residents and those who work here some of the best medical and family leave benefit in the country. 16 weeks in total. a complex bill. i will cost hundred of billions of dollars. many family groups support it but there are those who caution against it. national experts and member of the bowser administration spoke about the bill and answered questions for hours today. the primary focus is how the new fund will be paid for and what the benefits may be.

experts from several non-profit say the benefit include more family stability, better productivity in the work place. less dependence on government assistance after the leave end and lower rate of the workplace turnover. calling it a win-win for everybody. the bowser administration says the program could run a deficit of more than $400 million and stun job growth. something they say is unsustainable. >> under either analysis, however, the proposed pay leave program would not be financially sustainable without significant changes to the structure or significant subsidy by the district government. >> this is a really great opportunity to do something that is vital both for d.c. and to set the stage around the country for a billion that really will make a difference. sam: the city administration on behalf of the bowser administration reiterated at the end of the speech that the administrfation does support the fundamentals of the bill,

but they have to iron out the financial details to make it sustainable. coming up at 5:00, i will break down the numbers and how much you'd get away on leave and how it would affect the d.c. residents who live here but work in either virginia or maryland. reporting live in northwest, sam sweeney, abc7 news. jonathan: thank you. self-driving cars are a hot trend at this week's detroit auto show. according to the california department of motor vehicles people can't really nod off in the driver's seat, at least not yet. seven companies received permission to test prototypes in public. nissan reported 106 cases where the driver had to take control of the vehicle. google which conducted a bunch more tests said humans needed to take over 341 times. so that translates to ten times per vehicle. not a good ratio. you have to hang on to the wheel tight. but you aren't going very fast. jamie sullivan keeping an eye on the roads. it's slow-going out there.

jamie: it is. we are in bumper to bumper traffic on the inner loop of the capital beltway. this is slow near connecticut avenue but extends to virginia. that is where we start to see the delay. some good news. earlier crash up ahead as we move to the maps. that is right near connecticut avenue. we had different crashes recorded in the area. now all of our lanes are open. you see a solid red line. this is a ten-mile backup. this is where we see the traffic. but you continue closer toward old georgetown to get to chevy chase and bethesda. you really see the heavy traffic get better past connecticut avenue. that is where the crash was. a lot of the of people are rubbernecking. nothing to worry about on the other side. it's typical. in the single digits as you cross the freeway to the 11th street bridge. heading on 395 closer toward the 14th street bridge.

is right for you. jonathan: four months ago we introduced you to noah cutler. the kid is awesome. that was steph curry. that is him. now the fifth grader has gone viral with a video showing him pull off a spot-on imitation of nba steph curry's moves. and steph curry is very good. so that got abc7 sports robert burton thinking hmm, could a six and a half foot tall former college basketball star beat this kid in sports? that description is robert, himself. he wrote that. i just read it. you said basketball star. robert: did i say "star"? jonathan: you squared off in a game of horse. he is that tall. he has incredible moves. that kid is playing basketball, nobody can compete with him in the age range.

robert: you know when people say, "don't try this at home?" i'm not kidding. do not try it. he is 11 and has received an offer from a prep school. he has skill. the only thing he can't do that the nba star steph curry can shoot nba three. so today we played "horse" and best of two out of three. it went to a tie-breaker. reverse layup, crossovers. behind the back and between the legs. i was gassed. in sports at 5:00, we will show you who won the showdown and give you highlights. i'm exhausted, by the way. did i mention that? jonathan: i need to ask. i was in my office and i had the tv on. you didn't know this but everyone in the newsroom watched you square off. this guy with a smile on his face, not even a drop of sweat on his brow. you were sweating like a pig. i thought the oxygen cart was coming out.

i am a lot of things.

i am his sunshine. i am his advocate. so i asked about adding once-daily namenda xr to his current treatment for moderate to severe alzheimer's. it works differently. when added to another alzheimer's treatment, it may improve overall function and cognition. and may slow the worsening of symptoms for a while. vo: namenda xr doesn't change how the disease progresses. it shouldn't be taken by anyone allergic to memantine, or who's had a bad reaction to namenda xr or its ingredients. before starting treatment, tell their doctor if they have, or ever had, a seizure disorder, difficulty passing urine, liver, kidney or bladder problems, and about medications they're taking. certain medications, changes in diet, or medical conditions may affect the amount of namenda xr in the body and may increase side effects. the most common side effects are headache, diarrhea, and dizziness. he's always been my everything. now i am giving back. ask their doctor about once-daily namenda xr and learn about a free trial offer at namendaxr.com.

michelle: somewhere out there, there are three tickets worth half a billion dollars each. earlier we showed you where one was sold in california. now thomas forester has the response from another winning location in melbourne beach, florida. >> one of the three jackpot ticket sold in the powerball state was bought here in melbourne beach. no word if the winning ticket was a quick pick or the player's own numbers but he or she is rich. for some people this morning who bought tickets timing is everything. >> if you don't buy a ticket, you won't win. this is close to home. i hope the winner that comes

forward is a friend of mine. >> odds of winning is 1 in 395 million. they will get $500 million each. they will get $100,000 from selling winning ticket. >> with that, almost all of us had a ticket or were part of a pool or both. jonathan: we got fantastic responses. jim turned $80 in tickets to $6. he is celebrating with ramen. michelle: a feeling that most of us had, he had the powerball.

avian influenza to the dog population. we have had the k9 flu in 2004. but it was a different strain. this is h3n2. we had vaccine against the other ones but as of november 15, the usda has given conditional approval to h3n2 vaccine so we have a vaccine against the strain. jonathan: if you have a dog what do you look for? what are the signs? michelle: flu in humans. upper respiratory, coughing, fever, lethargy. this is a conditional disease. if your dog goes in the high population where we like a doggie daycare and a lot of grooming. michelle: dog park. >> absolutely. that is where the maryland came from. this is in 40 states since the district of columbia since
