Just about every bill in annapolis. We cant settle for the same old politics, not when our basic rights are being threatened by trump and cruz. Ill stand up to their bigotry and be a passionate voice for maryland women and families. In tv and in business, i built relationships. As a woman in the house, ill do the same to get things done. Im Kathleen Mathews and i approve this message. Leon we have breaking news for the newsroom. Lets get to Jonathan Elias to find out what is going on. Jonathan social media was a buzz because there was smoke seen near the chinatown neighborhood. This is north of chinatown. Smoke coming from a building under construction. Fire crews responded and something sparked a fire in the elevator schaaf in the building under construction. Nobody is living inside or working inside. Fire crews shut down the street. The area is the 600 block of mass avenue northwest. Again it started in the elevator shaft. In just about the last i would say five or ten minutes we are getting word they have knocked down the fire. But again, a lot of smoke pouring out of the building and folks in the area. We are getting on twitter and facebook to ask what was going on. That is what is happening now. They seem to have it under control. Remember when you have a highrise and elevator shaft and the fire is burning in it, it can spread throughout the building quickly. This was a tricky one for the firefighters. Staying on top and that is latest from the onceinalifetime. In the n life desk, in the newsroom, Jonathan Elias. Alison keep us posted. Rescuers working to find any survivors from the earthquake that killed 4440 people. Three people were rescued from the rubble of a collapsed building in manta one of the hardest hit cities. The firefighters from the Quito Fire Department district were able to cut a hole from the ceiling before pulling survivors to safely. The flag outside the embassy of ecuador is at half staff. Today the u. S. Agency for International Development deployed a team to ecuador. Usaid is providing 100,000 for critical supplies with more funding pending. Meanwhile, a pastor for hagerstown, maryland, leaves tomorrow for ecuador. He had planned his mission trip there last fall and he hopes he can help wherever he can. I feel safe for myself. Home. I feel confident in going. Opportunity for me. I have never been there before. Im excited about going. Even if there was still earthquakes going on id still be excited to go and help out any way i could. Alison across the region crews continued the roundtheclock search for survivors. In one location a rescue team pulled three people from beneath a collapsed shopping center. They had been trapped for 32 hours. Leon amazing. An air traffic system for drones took a big step forward here today. The goal is to keep the drones away from planes, helicopters and other drones as well. Michelle marsh here with todays big test. Michelle . Michelle well, the nasadeveloped system was put to the test when two dozen drones took to the skies in six states. One of those locations was bush wood, maryland, in st. Marys county. Here is how the system works. Drone operators file a flight plan just like any planned aircraft. The system checks for conflicts and accepts or rejects the from a nasa facility in california, but the scientists recorded information from the drones at each site. The more users you have, the more you will discover the little bugs. You know, you wouldnt discover when you are thinking of your own requirements or doing your own debugging. The concern now is some of these are unpredictable. Even if you are trying to stay below the aircraft traffic sometimes they dont do what they are designed and programmed to do. Alison we have seen the consequences when it doesnt happen. Michelle the importance of the system underscored this weekend when a British Airways pilot said he collided with a drone while landing in london. The plane landed safely without any damage. Alison okay, michelle. Thank you. Meanwhile, close call for a paraglideer in vancouver. He was caught in the power line. Look at this. Neighbors say the man told him he intentionally landed on power lines because he didnt want to hit a vehicle. He cuz stuck there dangling arrived. Power in the area actually had to be shut down to rescue him. Leon he looks mellow to be hanging off power lines in the middle of the night, dont you think . Alison yes. I think so. I dont know if they were mellow when they lost the power in the neighborhood. Probably not happy. Leon i bet they werent. See if the folks are able to be mellow on the ride home in the area here with jamie sullivan. Jamie unfortunately we are dealing with a closure in the district. We heard Jonathan Elias with an update earlier on the fire at the highrise. Leon hang on, jamie. Were having trouble with your microphone. See if we can get it straightened out. Back to jaime. Jamie im here. Cut. Restart. If you are traveling in the district right now the Biggest Issue for us is going to be the closure in place with the Fire Department activity. So the highrise on mass avenue, this is massachusetts avenue. Closed off between six and seven street. Istreet blocked as well. You can see on the waze map k alternate. But a lot of red. We are seeing around the area. The wazers checking in with big delays. You have to avoid the area. We move to talk about the area still but take a live look. This is right near new york avenue and seventh street northwest. The camera shot not the best. You can see how the traffic is tied up. Of course here is a fire truck on scene. Lets go ahead and move to the mapping system. The traffic heading southbound on 795. At 18 Miles Per Hour. 395 we are seeing the volume as well from the pentagon stop and go getting closer to edsall road. No crashes to report on 66 or the g. W. Inner loop of the beltway is bumper to bumper traffic in the Single Digits from tysons heading north to 270. That is a look at traffic. Back to you. Alison doug had a big day today. Doug the c firefighters, the Police Officers and civilians for the Meritorious Service and heroic performance. Conducted a it the Officers Club at arlington at base, joint base meyers henderson hall. Terrific stories. These men and women, they are right here. In the neighborhood. The stuff you do is incredible. Leon i wish we could tell the public the stories.

You dont feel gusty temperatures at 80 degrees outside. Its pleasant. But there is a down side. Dry stretch. The last morning. With the cold front its dry every since. Humidity is level is down and the winds are up. The high likelihood that a spark anywhere could start a wildfire. A brush fire. That is happening in the shenandoah valley. 5,000 acre one there. The temperatures are comfortable. Above average. Lower 80s. Turning cooler north after the cold front came there. The winds are gusty. We are in 40s in most area tomorrow. Cool start. The story number wise. Warmer, cold front deal. Clearing out for the weekend. Seasonal. 74 on monday. 76 with a next chance of rain on tuesday. If you are involved in sunday in alexandria the weather is fine. Race temperatures should remain in the 50s for most of the race. Leon a classic last night in philadelphia. Classic certain ways but not others. Alison this is interesting. A lot hanging on tonight. Scott abraham is live in philadelphia where the capitals are this everything. Leon hey, scott. Scott so far, so good for the capitals in the series. Right now leading the flyers 30. Really the caps had a stranglehold on the series. Now, short practice today here at the wells fargo center. The big story line centered around goalkeeper braden holtby. He left practice early after colliding with a teammate. Questioning swirling after practice. Who will be in goal for game went off. See where he is tomorrow. I dont anticipate braden not playing. This time of year sometimes you just go to the locker room and rest up. The defenseman orpik will not play in game four. Orloff is ready to go after the scary hit last night. Its a hit. I think its just to forget. Im fine. Scott an opportunity to sweep away the flyers. Sense of urgency from the club to finish the deal tomorrow night. You dont want to put too much stock in talking about winning in four and shutting a team out. Its just about resetting every game. They play us hard every game. So, we expect a higher level of intensity tomorrow. We have to be read scott one more win and on to the eastern conference semifinals. Back to the holtby injury i saw him inside the locker room and walking to team bus. He looked fine. No noticeable limp. All indication point to him being in net for game four.
