Were told most of the damage is in the back and there was fire in the basement first and second floors. Good news here, captain gregg karl says two adults that lived here did get out of the home. They did have a smoke alarm. Yes, a smoke alarm alerted the occupants. It could have been different if the smoke alarm didnt alert them. Its very important that people test their alarms. Reporter they were rescued off the roof. They were standing on the the porch roof at the time. Tell me about the conditions inside the home that made fighting this fire a bit more difficult. There were hoarding conditions present in the home. Completely changed the operation. The normal firefighting operation. Crews definitely had to take more caution because they werent sure what structural members may or may not have been burned out or the extent of the damage to the floor underneath them. So they definitely moved slower, more cautiously just to make sure we didnt have any firefighter injuries. Is the investigation going to take longer because of all of this debris inside the home .

I want you to take a look at some of this video so you can see how big this crane is. They moved it in yesterday but theyve been moving the equipment in and out over the past day and again this morning. The reason for that is because they have to make sure that its safe for investigators, a. T. F. Officials and firefighters to get in and start digging through all the rubble. Essentially were looking at about five houses worth of debris in one. Its a 16,000 square foot house. It will take them a lot of time to dig through three floors compressed into one. Investigators will have to dig through all the layers in the search for what happened and of course potential victims feared dead, don and sandy pyle and of course their four grandchildren are potential victims.

Loudoun, winchester, frederick and Clarke County all in virginia closed this morning. Any icing conditions we have to worry about because of whats happening . Up there a little bit more, especially when you get into northern and western loudoun, those areas of the shenandoah valley, the mountains north of i70. Im more concerned there than toward the metro. Even parts of upper montgomery, howard could see a little bit of accumulation on some of the roadways. Some of those surface temperatures are down mid to upper 20s right now. Lets show you whats happening with doppler 9000. We do have snow and mix were tracking coming out of ohio into pennsylvania, West Virginia. Now parts of virginia. The stuff out ahead of the main system were seeing in virginia, this stuff is pretty light. Stles you see it up i also you see it up i81, winchester, hagerstown. A few places reported frederick, damascus, olney. Thats it where maybe some lighter snows are actually reaching the ground across parts of West Virginia, paw paw, cross junction, northern Frederick County. This is the area where we have the few School Closures weve reported this morning. Cumberland, down 219, 220, 522, this is where were seeing some of those issues potentially more so than areas closer toward d. C. So the day planner calling for temperatures which will start at least in town mid to upper 30s. Not move much. 38 or so for the high. By noon better chances of seeing the snow in areas north, northwest with perhaps a little snow or mix here in d. C. South of interstate 66, south of d. C. , does look like the moisture will be limited. This trace to an inch, even this may be wishful thinking. 1 to 2 inches from loudoun and montgomery and howard. Im leaning more toward the 1 than the 2 and more on the grassy surfaces than the roads. Well have temperatures in the 30s today. We have residuals of road salt as opposed to january 6 where there was nothing on the roads. Thats why it stuck so quickly and 2 to possibly 4 in the Higher Elevations west of i81. 34 annapolis. 34 d. C. Notice the upper 20s here. This is why anything thats not treated i do believe could see those slick spots. Thats a 23 in westminster. Snow gets up there, no problems sticking to the secondary, tertiary roads. 38 today. A trace possibly to an inch in the d. C. Area. 1 to 3 northwest. Watch out for slick spots. Tomorrow mader, milder, sun returns. Saturday has the potential for another rainsnow mix. Well see highs on saturday in the 30s. Sunday okay. Maybe another chance of snow monday. Its 6 21. Hey, bev. On dry pavement weve got enough trouble. We cant blame the weather for the tractortrailer thats broken down on the outer loop in Silver Spring, georgia avenue. Sky 9 has been checking that out for us. The outer loop right before georgia, the truck leaking a substance. The two right lanes are blocked to clean that up. Were talking now just the right center lane blocked. Three lanes are able to travel by splitting down the middle. Look at this lineup coming over east of New Hampshire avenue back toward the 95 interchange. Beltway as you make your way on 395 north of the beltway and head up past duke street, youve got the volume delays. Lanes are open as you make your way north continuing up to the 14th street bridge. Thanks for joining wusa9 this morning. We will keep you up to date on the weather forecast, everything thats. More than 15 measles cases have now been reported in california with additional cases on record in four other states. Health officials have traced the scout break to the disney parks in anaheim. Five of the patients who have come down with measles are employees and two of them say they had measles vaccines. Three of those five workers have recovered and have now returned to their jobs. The claims that some of these measles patients actually had been vaccinated is starting to raise concerns for health officials. But as we report from son upon, there may santa monica, there may be explanations why some people can contract measles even if they have had the vaccine. Reporter one door tore says she thinks doctor says she thinks is he knows why some who claim to have been vaccinated now have the measles. My suspicion if they were vaccinated they received one dose. The first dose didnt check their immunity and they didnt get the second dose of the vaccine. Reporter the centers for Disease Control recommends giving two doses of the measles vaccine which was created in 1971. Most children born after that received the first dose at age 1 and the second dose at age 4. Once its administration iied, the vac administered, the vaccine lasts a live time. Those born before 1957 are probably already immune because theyve been exposed to the measles but those born between 57 and 71 to check their immunity. Anyone born between 1957 and 71 you definitely want to check because the vaccines that were created in the 60s, at least one we found later didnt work. Reporter for anyone who questions their immunity, doctors can do a simple test. They take blood specimens and look to see if you have immunity to the disease. If not they start the twodose regiment. Reporter the total measles cases in the state is at 53. Thats concerning. For one sick person, about 90 of people around them who dont have immunity will pick up the disease. Some High School Students in orange county, california were exposed to measles by a classmate and theyve been told they cant return to school for three weeks. Thats the incubation period for measles. An upcoming ruling from a federal judge in california could fire up the debate now once again when it comes to legalizing marijuana in that state. Since the late 1960s, marijuana has been class classified as a schedule one drug putting it in the same category as heroin, lsd and cocaine, a substance with absolutely no medical value. Nojuw a dge has agreed to hear arguments on whether or not that is constitutional. It will probably reveal that the governments position on refusing to reschedule marijuana is irrational. But others say Defense Attorneys could have a tough time proving how the current law infringes on peoples rights. The judge is expected to hear the arguments next month and will probably issue a ruling sometime in the spring. It is 35 degrees here. A live look outside. Some Winter Weather is headed our way and its already affecting some Virginia School districts. Thats right. A yellow alert day. The School Districts that are closed once again to remind you, loudoun, winchester, Frederick County and Clarke County. Allyson rae joins us live on the weather terrace. Likely not seeing any flakes here. Reporter no, just a little chilly out here. We are starting to see flakes near frederick and winchester and areas along the shenandoah valley. Right now no problems if you head out throughout the district and especially out to the west. You can see the snow and the rain and the pink color indicating a mix brewing through West Virginia and headed our way. Here it is right now. On doppler 9000 it looks pretty active. A lot of this is not even reaching the ground. Were just seeing a few flakes through frederick and hagerstown and winchester. Temperatures are right about freezing. Its not just below. As we head through the day and the precipitation heads our way, well have a chance to get above freezing. Thats good news for the roadways. We do see by 11 00 a lot of it starts to keep on pushing on in. So between 11 00 and 4 00, thats when well see most of the active periods, especially north. I think 70. And well see it push out of here by 5 00. Lets go to beverly with traffic.

The accident has been blocking the left half of the roadway with the growing delays coming up from Prince William county. 66 the volume delay into manassas getting into centreville and fair oaks heading into vienna. Andrea, mike, back to you. Crews remain on the scene of an overnight threealarm house fire in arlington which injured the residents. A working smoke alarm probably saved the lives of the two people inside. Delia goncalves joins us lhome on 40th street north. Delia, looking at the home it doesnt seem to be damaged too badly from the outside. Reporter right. Firefighters are telling us most of the damage is on the back and there was a pretty and there was pretty extensive damage because the fire burned from the basement to the first to the second floors of this home.

Nikki burdine has more and why they had to bring in special equipment to start the excavation. Reporter they had to bring in a lot of special equipment, a lot of very large special equipment. The reason for that is because this house was so large. It was 16,000 square feet. If you think about it, thats five houses into one. [ no audio ] where we are right now, we are about a quarter of a mile away from where that mansion burned to the ground. [ no audio ] take a look at this video. You can see the first crane that arrived yesterday and crews were out there preparing to start digging today. Now, this is a long process. It is a tedious process and they told us it was going to take all day yesterday to make sure it was safe for everyone to get inside because again they got all the layers of this house, the second floor, the first floor and basement all combined and compressed to one. In between all that, theres a lot of water. That water could be frozen. So this is very difficult for firefighters and crews to able to get in and start their job because it can be dangerous.

Loudoun, winchester, Frederick County and Clarke County all in virginia closed because of the impending snow headed their way. You can keep up with this on our mobile app, everything howard is telling you is right there. Were going to be live with the morning updates. Im not horribly concerned about this system, especially d. C. North and west, out toward the Northern Shenandoah Valley, the mountains yes youll get a little snow. This is a clipper. They move quickly. They often dont have a lot of moisture to work with. A dusting to maybe an inch in d. C. Im thinking that would be farreaching with 1 to 3 in the Higher Elevations. Again those areas along and north of i70. The system is coming out of ohio. Were seeing some echoes showing up in northern virginia. Notice how they fall apart as they get closer toward the potomac river. Not all of this is reaching the ground but we have had reports of flurries in frederick as far east as olney and damascus. Here on i81 west out in the mountains, down 68, parts of 522, 219, 2 ten, a little bit of 220, a little bit of light snow. The better chance of snow looks like later this morning as the system from ohio pushes toward the east. Ity a he dry out here. Its dry out here. Well see development this afternoon. Temperatures pretty steady, mid to upper 30s. Its snowing and 37, its melting on the roads. Most of the roads untilless its really coming down heavily and i dont see that happening. Winds northeasterly at 5 miles an hour. By Late Afternoon pushing away. Heres my forecast. Im thinking this may be overdone a bit. So the trace to an inch in washington and the metro, im leaning more toward the trace. Montgomery, howard, loudoun, more of an inch than two inches. Some may maximize to two inches. Maybe an inch or two winchester to hagerstown. A couple there. But most roads, most, not all but most roads i think will stay wet. You see the cold this morning, especially westminster down to 23. 28 frederick. This is cold enough to support stickage in any of those areas that are untreated but we have residual road salt. Temperatures at washington and andrews, annapolis above freezing. Freezing in winchester. 29 martinsburg. Its not like january 6 when temperatures were in the upper teens and low 20s. In fact in town were at 35 with a light northeast wind at 3 miles an hour. The Washington Monument below the cloud deck this morning. Futurecast, heres another thing that tells me probably not going to be too bad. While its not picking up some of the flurries ahead of the main step, the main system stays well north and west of us by 1 00. Still dry in town. Its possible we dont see much of anything in washington today with areas again along and north of 70 out toward the Northern Shenandoah Valley seeing the accumulations. So were watching it. We have a yellow alert, Winter Weather advisory till 6 00 p. M. Better chance north and north west. 46 tomorrow. So slick spots possible early but well be fine in the afternoon. Friday 43.
