Patches of freezing rain and some wet snowflakes mixed in there and you do want to be careful in bucks county, northern Montgomery County and all those other areas up through allentown and out through reading for some possible icy patches this morning, okay, definitely slow going up in that direction. We have a Winter Weather advisory early today with a brief mixing as we just showed you on Storm Tracker before a changeover to rain. That changeover probably occurs in bucks and chester and montgomery counties by about 7 oclock. Mercer county as well. And then by 10 oclock in reading, allentown and easton we expect things to get better up in the poconos youre stuck with more of that winter precipitation into the afternoon. And we also have a wind advisory down the shore where gusts could go 40 to 50 Miles Per Hour as that noreaster goes past us. In addition there are also some Flooding Issues but first along the coast minor tidal flooding moderate tidal flooding one along times of high tide this morning. Thats generally nine to 11 oclock. Its an advisory up in the top of the delaware bay and the lower Delaware River and there also is just a general flood watch in effect until this heavier rain gets out of here. Creek and stream flooding wouldnt be out of the question. Over in south jersey thats where youre getting the worst of this. Temperature right now is 39 in philadelphia, 34 in allentown, a little cooler up north and as we roll through the day, hey, at least its dry in school, kids so get on the school bus and enjoy that. 8 oclock 40 degrees, by noon 43. Your high today is 44. Most of your rain is in the morning. The afternoon looks drier but windy and chilly. Matt pelman what are the roads looking like . Thats a reason to look forward to going to school or work this morning, at least its dry inside. The rods are looking very wet as we start off this tuesday morning, david. There is ponding especially in the work zones like here along 95. Sometimes the drainage isnt the best in these work zones. This is the one by cottman. Already southbound slowing traveling through the work zone. Luckily our big lake that we had on 95 southbound by the betsy ross bridge has kind of cleared out because the crews came out and unclogged the drain there. So, wet conditions acrosstheboard, a few slick spots out there especially north and west and were watching a crash in Upper Providence Montgomery County along ridge pike at township line road there by the riteaid and the harleysville savings bank. Elsewhere on ridge pack in plymouth township there are downed wires where you turn to go to the black horse township if thats your watering hole of choice. Willow grove crash along 611 southbound side by home depot drive as you head towards the pennsylvania turnpike. Camera time in south jersey. This is the 42 freeway. Some building northbound volume rolling on very wet pavement here headed up toward 295 and its extra wet in a couple spot in Hamilton Township atlantic county. There is flooding along the black horse pike both ways at cologne avenue. Were hearing that is passable so you can get by but watch out for the high water, more high water along 40 eastbound at wrangle borrow road. Your best bet may be the a. C. Expressway can which has no flooded reported at this point. In Millville Cumberland county also really soggy with more flooding along 47, thats Second Street northbound side near high street. Tam. Okay, thank you, matt. And we are beginning this morning with tragic breaking news. A firefighter killed in the line of duty. This happened in West Oak Lane overnight. Action News Reporter john rawlins lets keep telling you about it. Overnight there was a fire there in a home in the 1600 block of middleton street. And it was down in the basement and this firefighter was there, found herself trapped and they managed to get her out of there but that fire spread to the upper two levels. It took them about 30 minutes to get this fire knocked down but unfortunately in that time that firefighter suffered mightily. They took her to Einstein Medical Center where she was pronounced deceased. Well continue to watch this and bring you the latest as it can comes in. Back to the noreaster churning up the coastline. Its led to the closing of the Ocean City School district for the day. Other closings listed on the web site and the bottom of your screen. The jersey shore is getting particularly hit hard. Action News Reporter Katherine Scott continues our coverage live in Atlantic City. Good morning, katherine. Reporter good morning, matt. We certainly felt the winds get stronger here over the last hour or so. The rains have been falling steadily all morning long. We just havent had a break from them. If you take a look down the loans boardwalk you case lot of people out here, just a very wet, very rainy boardwalk glistening with all the lights around it with all the rain thats just been pouring onto this boardwalk all morning long. Then there are those wind gusts i mentioned. You can see the flags at the Korean War Memorial whipping around in the winds and of course across the way from those flags, the water, the sun isnt up yet so it is difficult to see the water from here, but it is rough. You can just make out the waves crashing on the sand and we are expecting to see some coastal flooding as the morning goes on. So, of course december isnt known for its beach days but its going to be a particularly ugly one here. Were seeing flooding also on the roads. You want to leave extra time as you head out today because we are seeing some pooling and ponding in spots. It gets worse in some areas. We saw it on the way down here. And again, just along the boardwalk here, ugly conditions, rain, heavy winds, so pile on that rain gear, leave plenty of extra time, extra space between you and other drivers because youre going to need it. Were live in Atlantic City, Katherine Scott, channel6 action news. Katherine thanks. Lets go elsewhere in new jersey. Were told that the action that mobile6 there, you see it making its way along route 70 eastbound into cherry hill. All over the region this is what weve seen over and over. No matter where you go, drenching rains, things just absolutely waterlogged. It is the kind of morning where you cannot go your usual speed. You will hit some ponding. You will not be able to take those curves in the same way so its a good idea to give yourself a few more minutes to get out and about and to leigh some car lengths ahead between yourself and the car ahead of you. Follow the impact of the noreaster there on 6abc. Com weather. Storm tracker 6 radar shows the path of this wet weather. You can also find the latest there on your accuweather forecast and you got the latest right here. You can actually get the latest right now. Thats good, i use that Storm Tracker 6 app all the time on my smartphone or at home on my laptop. Its a great app. Storm tracker 6 live double scan shows you we have precipitation out there and its heavy in the south jersey side of the picture. As you see heavy rain highlighted in yellows and oranges pushing up away from Atlantic City or through Atlantic City right now an weigh from cape may. We were showing you on future tracker how cape may was going get a little bit of a break later this morning and that looks like thats in the process of hang but a lot of ponding and puddling on roadways from trenton right down through Atlantic City. In philadelphia, however, for the last couple of hours weve seen the heavier overnight rain get past the city and now its just a steady to light rain and even a little breakup in parts of the area around mount airy and Chestnut Hill and in wilmington were still in that lull. Up in the northern suburbs of course we still have precipitation falling and it is highlighted in blue. Thats Storm Tracker 6 live double scans way of showing you areas where there is mixed precipitation. Were seeing a little with the snow mixing with the rain up here and worst of all, some pockets of freezing rain and thats where youve got the Ground Surface temperature below freezing and the rainfalls and it just immediately freezes up on that. We do have some icy patches in through here. I think the areas with darker blue are very likely areas that are seeing a bit more of the wet snow but these lighter areas thats where youve got that freezing rain potential and thats really from pottstown, doylestown up through quakertown even up towards allentown and easton, maybe areas somewhat close to reading as well so be careful out there in those northern suburbs. Rain is going to continue to penetrate areas to the north though and eventually well see that blue change to green later this morning. For now thats what you got. Lets get you outside. Wet conditions out there also a little windy. Probably getting windier as the day goes on and theres the airport. No big delays down there just yet but with this noreaster moving up the coast you never know how the connecting flights are going to be affected later so youll have to keep your eyes on the on time boards at the airport. 39 degrees is your temperature right now in philadelphia. Chilly as you step outside and winds running out of the northnortheast at 18 making it feel even worse. Bundle up as you head outside and of course for now a lot of you are going to wants the rain gear. This system is in the process of pushing past us. As we get past about nine, 10, 11 oclock well probably see the intensity of the rain go down although is some of this precipitation may wrap through into the earl to midafternoon hours. Future tracker 6 is going to take a stab at this for you. This is a brand new model run that just came in. By 9 oclock still looks like a chance of being fairly wet over most of the area although there is the chance that some of that mixed precipitation is starting to break up up north. Through the rest of the afternoon its lighter precipitation, could still be raining rather steadily in parts of the northern suburbs. Then eventually we get later into the rush hour, this evening and beyond and we really dont have much more than app couple of scattered sprinkles and showers, maybe a couple wraparound snow showers later tonight into early tomorrow. Temperatures today, theyre going to stay cool, 40 degrees by 8 oclock, 42 by 11 oclock. By 11 oclock a lot of us are beginning to dry out. Some areas to the north might still be rather wet and then by 2 oclock thats your high, 44 degrees. Couple of issues today then. The first is the heavy rain. By the time its all added up some of us are going to get 1 to 2 inches, maybe as much as three especially over in new jersey where youre getting that heavy band right now and gusty winds are part of the package that will encourage not only your car wiggling around a little bit on the roads but coastal flooding an issue. Here are the wind gusts that were expecting all day today up until about 4, 5 oclock. 40 to 50 Miles Per Hour right down at the coast, 30 to 40 in the i95 corridor. Your exclusive accuweather 7day forecast, todays high is 44. Heavy rain in the morning. Gradually tapering off during the afternoon and staying windy and cool. Tomorrow the windy. We cant rule out an early snow shower that maybe puts down a coating on some lawns but i dont think its a big deal. 43 is the high there and then thursday nothing more than a flurry, mostly cloudy otherwise and a high probably in the low 40s. Friday clouds and sun, 44. We get into the weekend. Temperatures moderate a bit and it looks cool on sunday night for the eagles. But dry. Hm. [laughter] [laughter] dry makes us happy. It does. Its 611. We want to go back to our breaking news and that is a firefighter killed in the line of duty. This happened in West Oak Lane overnight. Our john rawlins is there live at the scene at Einstein Medical Center where that firefighter was taken. Lets go over to you john, very sad a development. Reporter hi, tam. A number of police and fire command cars shuttling in and out of the hospital at this time. This miserable weather pretty much sets the scene for the grim news that we just learned in the last half hour to 45 minutes. A young woman, a female firefighter has died in the line of duty. Were waiting for official confirmation of that from both the fire officials and to get some details from city administrators as well. She was part of a call out early this morning for a stubborn house fire in the 1600 block of middleton street in West Oak Lane. That fire took over 30 minutes to bring under control and were told at the time of the firefighters injury there was a focus on the basement at the time. Basement fires are naturally hard fire fight for us because the whole upper part of the building is exposed so those conditions are pretty tedious any time our Fire Department gets a basement fire. Reporter well, that was deputy chief eric fleming at the scene of that fire. Again, the news if multiple sources here is that a female firefighter has died of injuries she sustained while fighting that fire in West Oak Lane. Live at einstein hospital, john rawlins channel6 action news. Back to you all. Thanks for the update john. 6 12.

Jersey shore getting hammered. Worst of the rain is happening this morning. And that of course has meant real difficulties out there on the road. Lets go over to matt pelman. Good morning. Thats for sure. Of all the mornings to break down this probably is not the morning you want your car to give out but that appears what happened here matt and tam. This is the ramp from the roosevelt boulevard route 1 southbound to city avenue and the schuylkill expressway westbound and those are the westbound lanes of 76 right up there at the top of the screen. This vehicle kind of taking out the left lane on this ramp. So, traffic is getting around it as you can see, maybe doing so a little too quickly. Watch out for it. It could cause delays as the morning progresses but hopefully they get it towed away before too much as you head north and west this morning we are watching some icy patches. Here in the Lehigh Valley we had an Early Morning crash on the northeast extension northbound approaching the Lehigh Valley interchange. Thats long gone. But still watch out for slick spots on the interstate in allentown this morning. In Upper Providence weve got a crash to watch out for along ridge pike at township line road there by the riteaid and harleysville savings bank. In plymouth township downed pole and wires. Police directing you around it at fairview road. Meanwhile in willow grove theres a crash on the southbound side of 611. Easton road as you approach the turnpike by home depot drive and in hatboro another broken down vehicle is along byberry road near davisville road. Southern new jersey counties a lot of flooding. High water along the black horse pike in Hamilton Township at cologne avenue. Watch out for the flooding in that location. Some more high water along 40 eastbound at wrangle borrow road but no reported on the a. C. Expressway if you want to take that instead. Matt. Thank you matt. Federal aviation investigators recovered the black boxs from a deadly plane crash in a maryland neighborhood. Erin ohearn is live at the big board with what they think might have happened here. Erin. Reporter yeah, matt just a horrific outcome when a twin engine plane crashed into a house yesterday morning. Three people in the plane were killed and this mother and her two small boys who lived in one of the homes were also killed. Marie gemmell and her sons cole and devon were found in the second floor of one of the three houses struck by the plane. And we wanted to show you some video that was shot by a witness on the scene. You can see the flames in the background. Moments later theres actually another explosion that goes on. Now, the plane went down about a mile from the airport damaging three houses. The airport is about 25 miles northwest of washington, d. C. According to authorities there was no mayday call but witnesses say the plane appeared to be out of control when it crashed. Witnesses also reported hearing a sputtering sound moments before the crash and then a large explosion. Emergency responders rushed to the scene as neighbors looked on in horror. Flying erratically left, right, up, down. Seemed like there was some sort of struggle to maintain control of the aircraft. Now there have been pilots who reported seeing a lot of birds in the area but the ntsb says it is far too early to know exactly what caused the crash. Tam, back to you. Erin, thank you for that.

And mass transit, those patco trains rolling over the ben, nyt trains, septa trains, dart buses all on time at this point, david. We got news on Storm Tracker 6 live double scan matt. In the last 20 minutes or so weve started to see a changeover from any mixed precipitation to all rain in places like doylestown, northern Chester County and most of Montgomery County so Storm Tracker 6 live double scan now painting a little bit of scattered blue in through berks county and allentown even allentown at the airport its officially rain as of the 6 oclock top of the hour post. So, things are Getting Better in those northern suburbs. I would still caution you to take it slow because of the possible patchy ice thats still up there but were seeing improvement. Now over in south jersey all the way from Atlantic City up to trenton thats where our heaviest rain is and some heavy pockets in berks county and Lancaster County as well. If youre dressing the kids a lot of you will still want umbrellas on the kids this morning. Noon there could be a shower around. If youre catching the bus today 41 degrees by 9 oclock. Were in the upper 30s right now. 43 by noon in philadelphia. 44 by 3 oclock and 43 by 6 oclock. Again, the later you go through the day, the less rain youre going to see but, matt, its still going to be a very windy one out there. David thanks.

The female firefighter became trapped by the flames. She was rushed to the hospital where she was pronounced dead early this morning. Mayor Michael Nutter is expected to talk about this fire tragedy in the city and we hope to bring that to you live in our next half hour of action news. Breaking right now action news has confirmed that a firefighter has been killed while battling an overnight firely we expect to hear from mayor Michael Nutter shortly. Storm tracker 6 double scan radar shows the noreaster thats dumping heavy rain and in some spots snow on our area. And accuweather warned us for days that today would be miserable with high winds, flooding and cold temperatures. We got what they promised and were getting you prepared. It is 6 30 on this tuesday. Lets get right to the accuweather forecast with david and matt filling in for karen. Good morning. They brought us niece new extra wind resistant umbrellas this year. Im glad they d take a look at Storm Tracker 6 double scan. Its not only windy, its also wet. We have light rain in philadelphia but were getting pounded with very steady rain from Atlantic City up through surf city through Burlington County and up into areas around Mercer County and trenton. Theres also heavier stuff in smaller pockets in berks county and Lancaster County and then in between theres that little dry slot thats beginning to move up through Delaware County and southern delaware. You notice a little blue in the northern suburbs. We still have patchy freezing rain so be careful the farther north you are through the region. We expect that Winter Weather advisory however to be dropped pretty quickly within the next half hour in those counties close to philadelphia. Up in reading and allentown we may see it extended until 9 or 10 oclock this morning because it will take a little longer for the rain to change over there. Up in the poconos i think youre stuck with that winter storm warning for the rest of the morning and perhaps in the afternoon too as were look for snow up there and ice. Wind gusts 40 to 50 Miles Per Hour because of the proximity. Moderate tidal flooding up at the top of the delaware bay. We also have a general flood watch today because of the heavy rain that i just showed you. Its going to take awhile for that ponding and puddling to drain and there could be some creek and stream flooding depending on how long it takes for that rain to get through. No current flood warnings however. 39 degrees in philadelphia right now. 34 in allentown where there still could be patchy ice here and there. 40 degrees in wilmington and then milder, the mid 40s down at the shore. Were looking at a chilly day. Looks like it will be still raining by 8 oclock, 44 degrees there. By noon some areas might still see rain but generally less rain at noon than at 8 oclock, 43 the high. The rest of the day just looks cloudy and windy and maybe a little damp with some showers around, 44 by 3 oclock, 43 degrees by 6 oclock. Matt pelman, what are the roads looking like this morning at this hour . Well, things have been a little bit out of control from time to time. We watched drivers hit some puddles david and lose control. I think thats probably what happened here on the schuylkill expressway eastbound side. Can you see the car right here by south street facing sideways . Mostly off to the side. Police are on the scene but theyre kind of sticking out into that right lane. One of many accidents weve had this morning and this one on the schuylkill causing delays as you come eastbound from montgomery through this point at south street. The westbound delay here on 76 also just starting to form as it does each morning. On the big picture were watch something flooding, some high water on the ramp from the ben franklin parkway to the eastbound side of the vine. That ramp barely passable. May want to plan to get on from the schuylkill eastbound to get onto the eastbound vine instead. On the ramp from the roosevelt boulevard route 1 southbound to city avenue and the schuylkill westbound theres a broken down vehicle taking out one of the lanes. Broken down vehicle taking out heres how they look live jamming from this point at cottman basically the whole way into downtown. Wet conditions. Expect high water ponding especially in those work zones where sometimes the drainage isnt the best. This is 95 in delco. No major delays here yet if youre coming north from the state line headed up towards the blue route and the airport so far youre moving okay but it is definitely wet. And very wet here in shamong Burlington County just getting word of flooding blocking the northbound lanes of 206 at willow grove road. 541 a possible alternate. There are more flooding locations in south jersey. Talk about that matt coming up in just a few minutes. Thank you matt. Lets go to our breaking news story here. A philadelphia firefighter was killed while battling flames in the basement of a home in the citys West Oak Lane section. Erin ohearn is live in the sat center with these sad details erin. Yeah, they are sad details weve been following for a few hours, matt. It was young woman who was helping to put out that blaze in the mount West Oak Lane section of philadelphia early this morning. Lets take you back and show you what happened earlier. This is the scene on the 1600 block of middleton street in West Oak Lane. Now, fortunately when the fire broke out around 3 00 a. M. , all the residents who were inside were able to get out but this was a challenging and stubborn fire for these firefighters to fight. It had started in the basement, which is always tricky and again, original that firefighter had been taken to Einstein Medical Center but unfortunately we have confirmed that she passed this morning. It took firefighters about 30 minutes to get this blaze under control and it ended up spreading to the upper floors. First commander arrived on scene upgraded it quickly. The firefighters made good work knocking down the fire within about 35 minutes. Again, though, some tragic news, a young woman who was fighting that fire was killed this morning. We are expecting a press conference from the Mayors Office momentarily and of course well bring that to you. John rawlins is at Einstein Medical Center awaiting to hear from officials. Of course well bring that you information when we get it. For now were live in the sat center erin ohearn channel6 action news. So sad to think of her family both at the firehouse and at home. Back to the noreaster right now churning up the coastline. Most us are seeing a lot of rain, some might even see a wintry mix but seems like wherever are you youre dealing with some weather misery this morning. Action news with Katherine Scott continues our coverage shes live out in those elements in Atlantic City. Good morning, katherine. Reporter good morning, tam, yes certainly not a day you want to skimp on the rain gear. We havent had a break. The wind gusts have picked up along the Atlantic City boardwalk. If you take a look along the boardwalk this morning you can see there are a lot of raindrops, not so many people out here today. We have seen a few brave souls huddled up and pushing through the elements. One man i just spoke to had the saddest little umbrella. He said his umbrella just couldnt keep up with the winds the way they are today. The rain has been falling steadily, the winds are whipping and these are the conditions we could see for some time yet. Its so dark its hard to see the water from here, but it is rough. Coastal flooding is expected, especially as we hit high tide later on this morning and then again there are those wind gusts that i mentioned. Make sure any lawn furniture is put away, any of those loose or light items that can just pick up and fly during those strong gusts, if theyre not put away, do it now because you dont want them to go flying. Those flags up there at the Korean War Memorial they havent stopped moving since we got here. They just have been dancing in the wind so drenching rains, heavy winds today. Leave plenty of extra time when you head out the door and be sure to put on that rain gear cause youre going to need it if youre in this area. Were live in Atlantic City, Katherine Scott channel6 action news. Thanks for being down there for us katherine. Lets go live to Philadelphia International airport and this just coming in from the faa. Theyre saying the weather from this noreaster is causing arriving flights to be delayed by an hour and 19 minutes. Weve seen earlier delays at Newark Liberty and also la guardia. Check ahead. This could get worse as the day goes on. Now you can follow the impact of the noreaster on 6abc. Com weather. Storm tracker 6 radar will show you the path of the storm plus check temperatures by the hour and watch the full accuweather forecast when you cant watch it live on your screen right now. And in fact you said the afternoon would be better but right now this is our morning. Yeah, this is it. Storm tracker 6 live double scan shows you theres heavy rain over south jersey and we still have a bit of blue up north in patches around reading and the Lehigh Valley. The latest reports from places across bucks county like doylestown and then over in through Montgomery County is that we have now changed over to rain and officially at the allentown airport theyre calling it rain now as well. I would still be a little careful up in the Lehigh Valley and berks county for some patchy ice but it does look like things are changing over to all rain now in bucks and Montgomery County. Look at that heavy rain though from Atlantic City up to trenton and beyond. So, some ponding and puddling there for sure, maybe a couple of flashy creeks and streams although no official flood warnings just yet. You can see how philadelphia is winding down to just lighter precipitation with that nice dry slot of air coming through wilmington and philadelphia. This has been the case for the last several hours. Its possible that some of these bands will shift a little bit and well get back into a steadier rainfall in philadelphia but for now a bit of a lull. As we take a look outside we have cloudy skies, windy conditions down the shore and of course at the shore it is still pretty wet as you are beneath that big heavy area of steadier precipitation. Theres that camera bouncing in the wind, too. 39 degrees currently in philadelphia, 40 degrees in wilmington, 36 degrees in trenton, 34 in allentown, 34 in reading and mid 40s at Sea Isle City and at the boardwalk. Matt mentioned this but i want to reminds you were looking at delays for some flights at Philadelphia International airport. Matt says its mostly incoming flights. No delays posted right now of a major variety at newark j. F. K. Or boston but were seeing the rain falling in all three of those cities and as the noreaster moves up the coast and starts to increase the winds in these spots i do think theres the possibility of more delays so keen your eyes on your arriving flights so maybe youre departing flights as the day continues. Future tracker 6 showing that you between now up until about 9 oclock it still looks like that heavy rain has a chance to be around the region. We may see some additional showers wrapping in from the west but we get up to about 12 oclock or 1 oclock and the heaviest stuff is out of here and whats left is lighter shower activity. By the time we get up to 4, 5, 6 oclock its even less rain and so you get the picture, the heaviest stuff in the mourning and then grand jury what improvement as the day goes on. Were look tag decent amount of rainfall though, 1 to 2 inches inland areas with possible street flooding. Wind gusts thirty their iter to 40 Miles Per Hour. At the shore up to 3inches of rain in some places with that Coastal Flood Advisory for this morning between 9 oclock and 11 oclock moderate coastal flooding. Wind gusts at the shore 40 to 50 Miles Per Hour because youre down along the coast closer to the center of that passing coastal storm. We had some snow and freezing rain earlier. Its now in the process of changing to rain over the next couple of hours. Cool in the Lehigh Valley, up are 30s. A high getting up to 50 at the shore. A wet morning and then a windy afternoon with less and less rain as we go through the afternoon. 44 is your high in philadelphia. Again, a rainy morning. Drying in the afternoon, gradual and then winds definitely a part of the package with winds gust to go 35 Miles Per Hour or maybe even a little higher than at times this afternoon. Heres how the numbers are going to go. Were basically staying in the low 40s all the way. Well get up to the mid 40s by 2 oclock and that will be your high. Future tracker 6 then 4 00 in the morning on wednesday and then up until about midday wednesday there could be some pinwheeling precipitation and its cold enough to cause this to be snow and i would think a light snow shower is possible in through some of these areas, particularly north of philadelphia. Its not really going to do anything but i wanted you to know about it in case you wake up tomorrow and see a coating on your lawn. Your seven day, heavy rain today, mainly in the morning, windy in the afternoon with showers and 44 is your high. Tomorrow windy, 43, still not comfortable. A couple can of snow showers possible especially in the morning. And then thursday mostly cloudy and 42 if were lucky. Chance well stay in the upper 30s on thursday but i think 42 is a pretty good ballpark figure and maybe a flurry but nothing else other than that. Friday 44, upper 40s it appears as we mover through the weekend. So, it gets better. Thank you david. Its now 6 41 and we expect to hear from mayor Michael Nutter in just minutes about the firefighter who lost her life fighting a fire this morning in West Oak Lane. Matt. Good morning, tam. Were watching the 42 free way. A gathering crowd in the northbound lanes headed towards 295. As you can see its a very soggy situation this morning. Even soggier than some parts than others. Flooding locations in south jersey that well talk about when action news continues on this tuesday morning. 6 44. Good morning at the same time that were dealing with this noreaster on the coast we have an even worse tragedy, serious tragedy in the city of philadelphia where we have lost a firefighter in the line of duty. It happened during an overnight house fire in the West Oak Lane section of the city. Were told that this female firefighter somehow became trapped in the basement of the home where it seemed like the fire was really raging, was rushed to Einstein Medical Center but did not make it and were awaiting word from city officials as to their reaction. And indeed we heard from a deputy fire commissioner overnighter talking about just how difficult this fire was and he mentioned that any time you have a fire start down in the basement it can be particularly tricky and thats exactly what they had here with this young female firefighter getting trapped in an area there as that blaze spread to the upper two levels. It took them about 30 minutes for them to get this under control. That might sound like well that went really quickly but that fire was able to do so much damage so quickly. You would imagine a lot of flames, a lot of smoke and that female firefighter there trapped in the basement losing her life this morning. Well here from mayor Michael Nutter in a moment. Such a contrast with the Christmas Lights outside the home suggestive any of if i go the joyous time yet the tragedy. Middleton street is blocked off because of that fire location. An accident location on the schuylkill expressway this morning. Eastbound direction at south street the vehicle lost control. It is favoring sideways on the right shoulder by south street. Emergency crews remain on the scene and eastbound traffic is getting by in the lanes but as you can see just kind of crawling along the whole way from approaching montgomery drive into this points at south street. Westbound normal morning backup head towards the vine street expressway so that too is quite congested. If youre trying get onto the schuylkill from the roosevelt boulevard southbound side now also congested from ridge avenue down to 76. On the ramp from the southbound side of the westbound lanes of 76 and city avenue still have that broken down vehicle taking out one of the lanes can which of course is not health us out. Also still have downed wires in plymouth township along ridge pike at fairfield road. Watch out for them. Have a disabled vehicle in hat bore oh byberry road near davisville road but our crash in willow grove along 611 southbound has cleared. However in shamong Burlington County northbound lanes of 206 closed at willow grove road. Thats because of some flooding there by the shamong dine. I think i would stay over on 541 instead of 206 northbound because those lanes are blocked off this morning. In Hamilton Township atlantic county, its more flooding that were watching and were hearing that the eastbound lanes of the black horse pike 322 are blocked once again at cologne avenue. I dont want to send you down to 40 eastbound because theres more flooding there at wrangle borough road. Maybe stick with the a. C. Expressway or white horse pike at alternates. In millville one more flooding location to avoid, 47 northbound lanes at Second Street there near high street. So far at this point no major delays between 55 and in deptford.
