The fire started on the flipping floor where the truck dump their trash. It spread from there. They dont know how the fire started. No one was hurt. Not the employees or the First Responders. But the flames, the flames arent going anywhere anytime soon. It takes time because the fire is deepseeded. In order to put the fire out completely, we have to get to the bottom. Or if you will, the seat of the fire. And it takes time. I want to reassure the community we have folks who are experts at what they d quality and the Water Quality issues that this can cause, but also to make sure that we continue to provide Public Services that are essential in the community. Q officials continue to say that the smoke isnt a health hazard. Well, the people who live in the community, you are looking at right now, they find that hard to believe.

Somebody needs to do something about it. Hold these people accountable for the danger they put everybody in. Alison the renegade race club, an exclusive iteam report tonight at 11 00 on abc7 news. Jonathan all right. Turn our attention to the weather. Doesnt it seem like a roller coaster around here . One minute is warm, the next minute not so much. Doug that is what we have said all winter we get two or three seasonably cold days, then warm weather and a few more cold days and it keeps repeating. The next ten days rinse and repeat. Same story. Lets start with the coverage with a live look at the weatherbug camera at cresswood. Its hazy there but the skies are brightening to the west. We have a clearing trend as the High Pressure starts to build tonight. With the increase in pressure the winds will pick up a bit as well. It will become breezy and turn colder at the same time. Also what we are finding this time of year is the Daylight Hours start to strengthen, a couple, two or three minutes a day. Just an example of how much daylight we are gaining. By the end of the month we will pick up another hour almost. Then as we get to the first day of spring over 12 hours. March 31, 12 1 2 hours. Almost 14 hours of daylight by the time we get to april 30. The equinox, first day of spring is march 20. With that the average tonight the clouds hanging n. We see a trend develop as the winds pick up with the northwest. Drier air moves in. Clearing skies. It will eventually drop from 30 to the 20s. There is snowshowers but there is no indcation they will make it across the mountains. But the folks are happy to see as much fresh powder as they can get at the ski resort. The future cast tonight shows the cold air moving in. Center of the High Pressure is to the west. I will keep northwesterly component with the winds tomorrow. It will be cold. Highs in the upper 30s. Plenty of sunshine through the day tomorrow. On sunday, this area of the High Pressure will move out of the way. An area of low pressure will try to form in its wake. As a result, that is going to create cloudiness coming up the coast ahead of the next front coming in sunday night. The best way to describe sunday around here weather wise are periods of clouds and sunshine. But the winds become south and southwesterly instead of the upper 30s. Well be in the upper 40s. Monday behind the front, the winds ar this way. Not from canada but out of west. We will go from the upper 40s to the 50s here, lower 50s here and another warming trend will begin after this. Plenty of sunshine as we get through monday. Tuesday, wednesday of next week as you will see in the tenday outlook looks rainy around here as well. Here we go. Ten days in a row. The whiplash we get looking at the numbers up and down. 38 tomorrow. 48 on sunday. 53 on monday. On tuesday and wednesday we have a warm fronted warm front coming through followed by a cold front. But look at the highs. Lower 60s. Turning colder on thursday and friday. Then there we go again. Temperatures rebounding back up to the 40s and eventually upper 50s again. That has been the pattern all winter. I do not see any reason that the pattern will change anytime soon. Jonathan are you surprised we havent seen a significant snowfall yet . Doug no. Not given the temperature structure. You have cold air in place when the storms come to get the snow. When the storms come and the are in a warm air regime most of the time. Get very little snow or none. That is the way it works. Michelle thank you. Coming up, mix feared on how many people with visas have been turned away since President Trumps travel ban.

The closed stations include farragut west, mcpherson square, federal triangle, smithsonian, Federal Center and capitol south. Metro says 13,500 riders use the six stations on a typical weekend day. This is not a typical weekend. There is a caps game on sunday and immigration protest outside the white house on saturday and the auto show continues at the Convention Center all weekend. Metro says it needs to close to station for crack work, include the rail, fasteners and insulators. They plan to do cell phone and Radio Infrastructure work and fix Ceiling Tiles.

Announcer youre watching abc7 news at 4 00. Michelle a 7 on your side consumer alert tonight for anyone with Breast Implants or is considering getting them. Consumer investigators kimberly suiters says there is a growing concern a c linked to cancer. Kimberly the disease is called Breast Implant associated anaplatic large cell lymphoma. They call it a. L. C. L. For short. Its very rare and it can be deadly. When the f. D. A. First published information about the cancer in 2011, there were only 60 reported cases worldwide. Today out of millions of women with Breast Implants the f. D. A. Is aware of 258 confirmed a. C. A. L. Cases, unconfirmed cases and 12 deaths. But the warning is not making it to women who might be at risk. Breast cancer survivor Raylene Hollrah claims she was never warned that the textured implants she chose for Reconstructive Surgery in 2008 could give her cancer a second time. I was doing everything to keep cancer away. Yet i put a device in my body that caused cancer. Kimberly in 2011, the f. D. A. Identified association between Breast Implants a society of plastic surgeons developed a data base to track a. L. C. L. Cases. It included the f. D. A. Communication warning in the packaging for the products. But in 2013, when her right breast much like the image tripled in size in a matter of days, she became the 25th documented case in the u. S. She had never heard of a. L. C. L. It makes me mad. I have lost my chest but i have not lost my voice. Kimberly she created a foundation calling for mandatory warning for women who already have implants and those who will get them. This has created anxiety and concern among the medical concern. Kimberly dr. College mons is one of the dr. Clemess is one of the worlds experts and the Research Shows threequarter number of surgeons are not discussing it with patients. We would like to see more patients receive information on this. Kimberly a former f. D. A. Prices in medical devices but spotty reporting makes pinning down exact numbers tricky. The cause with the patient device incompatibility, findings indicate alcl diagnosis. Kimberly in the u. S. , the lifetime risk of developing a. L. C. L. Is low. At worst 1 in 30,000. But in australia, its 1 in 1,000. Surgeons say they want to inform, not frighten. Do you have concerns about the textured Breast Implants . Today, no. Its still extremely rare situation. You dont want to yell fire in the theater when there is no fire. Kimberly he explains textureedr patients that want a natural teardrop shape. Is there some belief that the rubbing creates the lymphoma . We dont know what creates it. Kimberly we are acknowledged fourfold increase in reports in five years. For the first time the World Health Organization recognized a. L. C. L. As a new lymphoma. The National Comprehensive caner network developed the First International standard for the diagnosis. A French Agency warned there exists a clearly established link between implants and cancer. For these reasons one of the leadinged advocates of the Breast Implants rarely use the textured implants. Its rare but people need to know they are taking it. Kimberly Raylene Hollrah would have liked to have known. People all the time say well you chose the implants. I didnt choose cancer. Neither time. But i can guarantee you if i had a choice and i knew that the implant that i was about to put in my body could give me cancer is a choice. Kimberly kimberly suiters, abc7 news. Michelle 7 on your side reached out to the implant manufacturer. It dec sent a statement that reads in part, Patient Safety is always our first priority. We are actively working to help advance the knowledge of this disease, understand the association of a. L. C. L. And textured implants and educate the community.
