>> reporter: as you can see, the cleanup has already begun there. crews are putting plywood up and starting to assess the damage. we're told preliminarily it could be close to $1 million. take a look at the scene earlier this morning. it was about 3:00 a.m. when the fire broke out. at the height of this thing the flames were high enough and bright enough to be seen from the other side of the road. that's fortunate because they couldn't be seen from inside the apartment. it was a resident or a guest at the marriott hotel that first called 911 to alert folks this fire was going on. it seems to have started in a drier vent outside the building. the people inside the units weren't immediately aware what was going on. fortunately by the time firefighters got there, they were outside of the apartment. they had gotten themselves out and none of them were injured. however, there were a couple, shall we say, minor injuries on the part of firefighters as we hear from montgomery county's pete perringger.

>> two firefighters suffered some injuries one hand injury when he was putting up a ladder. another fell on the ice. in the teens this morning, very cold, but it was a dry cold. there wasa? a lot of ice out. >> and again it's still under investigation exactly what caused that. as pete said, probably somexe combustibles. sthaeg that's something folks have to be aware of all times but especially this time of year. dryers and vents have to be cleared because heat can indeed build up. we're told three families have been displaced. they are being taken care of by the red cross. one family may be at the marriott, ironically the same place where the guest was when they called in this fire and got firefighters here as soon as they could. we're live in bethesda derrick ward, news 4. knew this morning, two people were rushed to the hospital after this crash in montgomery county. take a look at the pictures here.

after 16 national sorority leaders banned their university of virginia chapters from going to fraternity parties this weekend. in a letter the sorority presidents wrote we believe the activities present significant safety concerns for all of our members. the mandate sparked criticism. >> i think it sends the message that women are weak, and i think i'm better than that. i think i'm smarter and more powerful than hiding in my home whenever i feel as though i'm in danger. >> reporter: the university put in place new rules and sexual assault policies after a discredded report in rolling stone alleged a gang rape at a fraternity. other universities are facing scrutiny as well. this week two former vanderbilt football players were convicted of raping a fellow student in 2013. >> i'm just sorry. i never intended on hurting anyone. i was extremely intoxicated. >> just some of the cases that have triggered schools around the country to take action.

after weeks of deliberations, mitt romney finally came out friday saying he will not run for president in 2016. >> joining us to talk more about this is "meet the press" moderator chuck todd who i know is not shocked. you called this a couple weeks ago when the rumors started to fly and you said, i don't think he's going to go through with this. in making the decision to pull out, he made mention he wanted to make room for other gop leaders of another generation, but to me i feel like that move actually benefits the better well-known or the more well-known people. >> first of all romney was the final domino. we didn't know who was going to be in the field.

he was the last sort of domino. which way was it going to fall? now we know who the candidates are going to be. i do think his statement seemed to be a nod toward the younger generation, scott walkers marco rubio. it is jeb bush who will benefit the most financially in the financial primary. the question now is, scott walker i think is the sort of -- the new candidate of the moment. we've got new polling we'll show on "meet the press" this morning that shows, believe it or not, he's in fol position, in first place in a new iowa caucus poll. already walker is in first place, jeb bush is in single digits. if jeb bush is a front-runner, he's among the weakest in the history of politics. >> what do you make of chris christie? >> i'm a christie skeptic and i have been. i never understood how you ideological fit in the party. romney getting out gives him the window to raise a bunch of

money. very popular in the new york city corridor among business leaders. he can have the money and resources; to run. the question is how does he connect? he may have the money to put on a campaign but will they buy the dog food? >> a lot of people think he's too moderate. >> where the party is today, you don't see how he fits. we'll see. >> it's super bowl sunday. >> it is. >> not a day just about chips and dip. >> we are going to grind it out, take every football angle we can make. i take chips and dips and ki make it a football story. we can make anything a football story. >> on a more serious note, i know you are tackling a bigger issue here. you're diving into the serious issue of concussions. >> we've been talking about controversy around the football i think the last six weeks have been kind of silly, you know the deflate-gate especially.

this is not a threat to the future of football. the threat to the future of football is is it safe enough? there are still issues, former nfl player leonard marshall he's got concerns about it. the head of the players association and the number two guy at+1ñ the nfl where they admit they're doing everything they can. they sort of by the way they answer some questions the game is still not as safe as it can be. the question is how do you get it there? you need to get it there. the few tower of the game is in the hands of moms in minivans. if young kids don't start playing the game, you have a trickle-up problem. >> chuck, we'll be watching. >> thanks. you can see "meet the press" every sunday on msnbc 4 right after "news 4 today." by the way, chuck thinks the seahawks will win. >> we'll see. >> i'll bet big. i'll bet mr. bell's forecastee on it. >> that's a nickle. >> one of the most anticipated moments of the super bowl is the f-16 flyover right before

kickoff. you're looking over the university of phoenix where super bowl xlix is going to be played. pretty foggy out there. a tradition that dates back to super bowl ii in 1968. >> carolyn man know went to glendale arizona luke air force base to find out what it's like to climb inside an f-16 and go from zero to 600. check it out. >> reporter: in the shadow of the super bowl stands luke air force base, home of the 56th fighter wing the largest fighter wing in the world. when the air force needs fighter pilots, they come here. >> what is it specifically that makes an f-16 so well suited to do a flyover? >> i personally think, and i'm a little biased. i think the f-16 is the sexiest airplane we have in the air force. >> a orientation was needed before i could satisfy my need

for speed. >> those are cute. >> very fashionable. >> reporter: over a dozen men and women helped me prepare mentally. >> i have questions like why am i doing this, but those aren't questions you can answer. >> reporter: and physically. >> this is what's going to hold you in the harness if you were to be eject friday the aircraft. >> you're happy and excited. it should be fun. >> reporter: all right. let's do it.ñc7-ñ oh, baby. this is not training. we are actually doing this. >> don't let him get too crazy.

>> we're going to do what we call an unrestricted climb to about 18,000 feet. we're going to go and do a low level down around 500 feet. we'll do some loops, we can go upside down. we'll take you super sonic. i will pull 9 gs because the airplane can do it. >> reporter: whoo! we made it. so much gratitude. you guys are amazing. thank you so much for taking me up. that was the best thing i've ever done. how did i do? >> you did awesome. we can call you rock star. >> reporter: i'm worthy of that? scooter and rock star signing off. >> that is cool. she was doing okay forgetting off the plane. usually you might be disoriented. >> i've been up in a lot of those. they're fun fun, fun. we're here about the football forecast. normally when you see the next forecast you think oh my gosh, he's got the sooner mug ready to

go. no it's super bowl special edition. check out the graphic. it's not chuck's football forecast today. it's chuck's super super bowl prediction forecast for the game, seahawks, patriots -- the crowd goes wild. 67 degrees, clear skies at kickoff. temperatures will stay in the 60s throughout the game. perfect weather for football. here ishe only thing that matters, everybody. the final score. that's right. i think edge goes to tom brady and the evil genius bill belichick. balls guaranteed to be 13 pounds per square inch. final score 35-24. i think it may be 24-17 and then a fumble and a change in momentum. new england wins it. keep in mind, i was born in massachusetts. but the other half was born in washington state. needless to say, an interesting day at my house. 35 and cloudy in washington. temperatures are getting above freezing now. is very very good news for our later day activities today.

should be still a chance of a snowflake or sleet pellet. with temperatures in the upper 30s, low 40s, should be mostly light rain or drizzle;t late afternoon into this evening. going out tonight, light rain, maybe a snowflake between 3:00 and 6:00. rain more likely, 9:00 to 11:00 when you're coming home. that's when you'll have to be the most careful. winter weather advisory northern maryland, panhandle of west virginia from noon today until 8:00 tomorrow morning. storm team 4 radar showing light snow trying to move in from the next couple hours. that won't last long as the whole area of low pressure travels to our north. if you're traveling to new york or new england, a lot of flight delays going that direction. flurries with an occasional light raindrop or sleet pellet. after the sun goes down and before midnight tonight, that's when the rain starts to settle in. any possibility for slushy roads should be confined to northern most maryland at the most. seven-day forecast time get ready for a real roller coaster week. near 47 tomorrow but a howling

north wind drops temperatures to single digits and teens. windy and cold it is. slight chance for a rain drop or snowflake thursday and windy and cold weather heading into next weekend. >> thanks, chuck. keep it here for "press pass" after "meet the press." it's an in depthñc conversation with some of the biggest news
