balcony. >> reporter: crews had to work for an hour to contain the blaze. there were reports of hoarding on the first level. a highly flammable and dangerous situation they say. crews hosed down the garden-style apartments. tore through windows and eventually made their way to the roof. jessica hanson said she saw plumes of smoke, ran out of her and her brother's third-story apartment and pulled the fire alarm. >> i'm in the army national guard. so we're, we're equipped to act fast. >> she said they lost their cat in the flames, but managed to salvage the most important thing -- their late mother's remains in this urn. >> i was just praying that god kept the urn safe. so everything else can be replaced. >> meanwhile, this mother of two says the smoke was so intense, she and her family were forced to make a daring escape. >> we had to take the kids and dump them off the balcony. >> the cause of the fire is

against the deep blue sky, just gorgeous. over the last 12 hours, we've had these clouds in and out this morning. but they've given way to a lot of sun across northern virginia and the district and much of maryland. a lot of clouds across quite a bit of virginia. especially the areas around the shenandoah valley near the blue ridge, the little patches of green. they're getting a few sprinkles of light rain, into culpepper county into rach rappahannock and a few sprinkles near charlottesville. as we look at temperatures now, it's near 70 in washington. and the nearby suburbs. and all around the region, it's comfortably dry. not too humid. and not too hot, just an absolutely perfect day under way. and for the rest of the afternoon, though, we'll likely see the clouds continuing to build. and we'll go partly sunny, and this is about a 40% chance of a passing thundershower developing by perhaps mid to late afternoon. before then, hitting the mid 70s. with a gentle southwesterly breeze, i'm going to show you a

line a and was going to be used in phase two. but virginia has changed its laws regarding unions a few times since. voiding the original agreement. >> i think we have, we have been dealing now for a year with the commonwealth very collectly on this issue. and ihink we have learned that having a statement if them or their signature on kind of letter of intent type piece of paper really can't be relied on. >> reporter: then loudoun county further complicated matters when its board of supervisors threatened to withdraw the $150 million that was earmarked to help offset the total costs on the dulles toll road. as it stands, money from -- >> if the pla approach does not

change. >> reporter: in order to keep the project moving, and to not see it delayed again -- the board reluctantly voted to remove language favoring a labor agreement with the hopes of k p keeping loudoun county and its millions on board. the board's ceo said federal labor laws should do enough to protect construction workers. while it was passed with only one dissent, most board members didn't appreciate being forced into an agreement without written labor and cost protections. >> i find it offensive that we are now going to change working conditions on the workers that have done an outstanding job in 100-degree heat, in freezing cold winters and we want to change the working conditions on them because of politics. >> reporter: now that the board has removed the labor agreement, it falls on loudoun county and they have until july 4th to decide if they're going to support this project. in reagan national airport, i'm tracee wilkins, news4. d.c. council chairman kwame

to divorce his wife. what do you say? >> i say first of all, the email goes on to say that the house that they own and live in is only owned by him and her name is not on the title and i think what she needs to do first off is she needs to sit down with this man. she needs to read him the riot act. he needs to understand that her depression and her suicide attempts in recent years are at least in some part due to the fact that he has not been willing or able to leave his wife. even though he's been with this woman for 36 years. >> could there be some financial reason for not wanting to divorce the wife? >> you know, who knows? i don't know, but one thing i do think is that she needs to contact a lawyer herself. she needs to find out what she's entitled to. given that she spent 36 years with this guy, they've been living in the same house together for 20 years, if he dies, none of it will go to her. it will probably go to his wife. >> i guess she does need a lawyer in that case. let's in move on to the next question. i am a 21-year-old college

student, i've been depressed for more than three years, i've tried at least five different antidepressant medications and i've also been in therapy, but neither has helped. i have thought about suicide and i'm desperate for some help. what else can i do? >> i have a couple of thoughts. one is that i don't know whether this person has been seeing their internist or whether they've seen a psychiatrist. i do think it's important to see a specialist. i think if you're dealing with these problems and they haven't been fixed yet, you want to see somebody who deals with this all the time. secondly, i think this person may want to consider something called electro-convulsive therapy. this is the old shock therapy. we know that antidepressants work in about 65% of people and they take about a month or two to work. shock therapy works for about 93% of people and it works within days. electro-convulsive therapy is still the most effective treatment we have out there. >> the most common side effect is short-term memory loss, that can last for about a month. where you forget some of the things that occurred around the

time of your treatments, but otherwise it's generally very well tolerated and very effective. i have a college patient in my practice, who just had act. i talked to her yesterday, she is doing phenomenally well. so it does work. >> let's take a question on adhd. i'm the mother of a fourth grade boy, his teachers think he may have adhd, since he's easily distracted, hyperactive and very forgetful. he's able to focus for a long time when he's doing things he likes. does he have adhd? >> i think it's still very possible that he may have adhd. this is one of the common misconceptions that people have. and i hear this a lot in my practice. they'll say, but he can concentrate for a couple of hours when he's reading something he likes or playing video games. there are people who have the worst cases of adhd, but when they're interested in something, they can do hyperfocusing where it's actually very hard to pull them away from something they're interested in. this does not discount the possibility of adhd. >> he needs to be tested. >> absolutely. >> another question, my

8-year-old son is generally happy. does fine in school and has lots of friends, however, when he gets really upset or angry he sometimes says he hates himself and wishes he was dead. he will also hit himself in the head with his fists, we worry about the behaviors and wonder if this is a sign of psychiatric problem. >> i would say they don't have too much to worry about right now. because it sounds like he's doing very well socially, and he's got lots of friends, he's generally a pretty happy kid from the email. when children are really upset particularly at this age, they sometimes will do these sorts of things. i think it's largely as a way to express their frustration and also to get some negative attention if their parents. so the one piece of advice i have for the parents is to just ignore it. walk away. don't make a big deal out of it. if you make a big deal out of it. you're likely going to encourage him to do this. >> it sounds like good advice to me. thanks so much. we'll see you next week. it's 11:51. and coming up, harper saves the

game. plus, meteorologist tom kierein will be back with the latest chance for rain, stay with us.

the practice squad to come out and say you know what, i'm gay, i'm still a great athlete and i'm even better human being. >> davis now does campaign work for president obama. he encourages any gay athlete to go public with his or her sexual orientation. well it's another first for the nats, bryce harper -- >> that ball is hit hard -- and that's the game winner! bryce harper, the nats win it 7-6. >> the rookie phenom got the game-winning hit in the bottom of the 12th inning to lead the nats to a 7-6 victory over the mets. the first walkoff hit for harper's career. the narkts are now 31-22 on the season and a full game ahead of the marlins for first place in the national league east. we'll look at the stories we'll be following this afternoon. coming up this afternoon on news4 at 4:00, a miss usa contestant said the pageant is fixed. but owner donald trump fires back with a lawsuit.
