Theres a courtyard in the middle of this, okay . And what you see here on the front, mirror its on the b back. And this building was pretty much built into a hillside on that backside okay . So again, no vehicle access as far as fire apparatus. We got one fie ladder truck back there and it did a fairly good job as far as where its locate todd putting out the fire. But coming down this way its burning pretty good. Now, two firefighters sustained minor injuries. Both were transported to nearby hospitals. There was a partial collapse of the roof. They had already put large air conditioner up there for the building and that collapsed into the structure and the chief does say though that floors have not collapsed upon each other. However, since its wood on the inside that continues to burn and continues to cause lots of problems they dont know right now how this started. Construction work hes were on the scene. Inside the building at ar around 30 this morning when the fire did break out it wept to five alarms. There are Fire Companies from Anne Arrundel, howar, d. C. Fire is here as well. What i want to tell you now is a little story about what happened with these Senior Citizens and because the smoke was not going straight up into the air because ever the cloud cover and rain it was actually floating across the street and into the windows of the Senior Citizen center. A lot of seniors then were told to get out of the building. We talked with one jerld dean breeze and heres her story. The smoke was real thick. It smelled like tar. It was real thick. And reporter you were having trouble breathing. I was having problems breathing and ran into the closet tore a ma the face and ran out contract did the mask help. Yes t. Helped i ran out and came down the stairway. Reporter were initially told there were approximately 65 seniors taken to a nearby sxhunty center. As i found, a lot of them deposit want to go there. They actually ended up right here in this mcdonalds next to me and they spent a consider annual time of their day sitting in there and dr Drinking Coffee and eating sandwiches. A lot of them didnt go to the Community Center they didnt wanted to go so they hung out here. Thats the situation now. This building continues to burn. Rye ironically this name mix hughes residential and Retail Complex is called fuse 47. Were live in college park. Paul wagner, fox5 local news. We have new video tonight of shooting in the district caught on camera. May be hard to watch. With that being said this happened nearly two weeks ago in the 800 block of ninth street northeast. Surveillance showed the suspect running up to a man and shooting him as pointblank range and running off the victim was taken to the hospital with lifethreatening injuries and theres a 10,000 le ward for any information that leads to an arrest. Well, weve been here before. Tonight, yet another countdown is underway towards a possible government shut down. There are four days left with congress to figure out a deal to keep the federal government open this time the fight is not over obamacare its over President Trumps promise to build a Mexican Border wall. Fox5 Tom Fitzgerald is live on the hill and unlike shut down under president obama and gop controls both houses of congress and white house denzo sound agoalarms and we all know, tom, theyre not in charge. Well, you know, youre right about that sauer after and it seems one thing both sides can agree that the government will run out of money to operate on april 28. Now, with the government being run right now in the house and senate by the republicans, republican in the white house you would think that they would have complete control over this process. But the monkey wrenches thrown into all of this is the request coming in for the white house bridgeet director now that money be included in the new spending plan to help start paying for that Mexican Border wall. Now, make no mistake, democrats are not in favor of that wall. However, what they are saying tonight is in order to avoid shut down theyre asking President Trump to follow through with what he set on during the campaign that mex whoa cause going to pay for the wall and one of those voices tonight the democratic senator from maryland saying if a shut down does happen hes concerned it could have devastating Economic Impacts across the d. C. Region. Its a very sgrukt five budget not just but whole country what were trying to do now is get through the remainder of this fiscal year and ipd of september and what trump has done is inject this new demand into the process saying you know, give me money for a w wall. Thats a waste of money because it wont work. And or else ill shut down the government. That is reckless as ander responsible. Now keep in mind theres a lot of jobs in our area. 136,000 federal employees in virginia. 130,000 in maryland and 1 199,000 in d. C. Alone. Now, all of those workers could be told to stay home if the government runs out of money on april 2 and the government cannot open its doors. But the concerns over the shut down well, some conservatives say this might be a little bit over blown at this point. And over at the Heritage Foundation theyre down playing both democratic warnings and just what the impact would be if the federal keep its business closed. I dont think we need to be scared this time around and weve obviously been in this situation before and all signs point to the fact theyll either passe short funding extension to allow more time to yoshiate or cut a deal by friday it i dont think anyone wants to shut down and president has been very clear he doesnt want that. Now the situation is this, were hearing that the white house is asking for 3 million to begin with all of this. That comes as estimate on this wall are ranging anywhere from 30 to 60 million and even if we get passed this week and even if a deal is reached to keep the government open that does not put us out of the woods for shut down for the re maipder of the year. This continuing resolution only lasts until sment. Back on september 30 we could be right back in this spot. Were live tonight on the hill, Tom Fitzgerald, local news. All right. Lets take it outside now. It feels a little more like fall than i would say. What are we in . Spring still . I have no idea anymore. Is there a fifth season that fills time between march and june.

Realms of rain and bit end of the week summer heat and maybe first 90degree temperatures. Tonight were dealing with rain and you know what . We cant explain about it department, i remind you were in moderate drought. This is nice rain. I know its annoying because its dreary and saturday was a washout. We had dry hours yesterday and early yesterday morning and now were in the thick of it i think there will be breaks in which it does not rain heavily tonight or gets really light. But it will pick up overnight. And weve had a few spots coming through more moderate rain. Fortunately because its soo cool this is it not coming through with activity and few other spots moving from south to north you might get a more moderate down pouvrment we also see breaks. But, boy, will this take a while. And heres whats happened. This is a very, slowmoving area of low pressure that is removed from the jet stream. So theres really nothing to steer it and its just kind of meandering over to the coast centered close to georgia now and will eventually get off the North Carolina coast tomorrow and then to the mid atlantic by wednesday. Once it gets to our latitude that starts us drying out and not until wednesday. That means we have more april showers ahead. Later tonight we could ping up quart to half inch or another half inch tomorrow and Cool Temperatures will be stick around as well. Only 55 degrees in the dissfrikts. We have not been warm are than that today. North east breeze and area of low pressure work its way up the coast and a little bit of cool normally flow from High Pressure that keeps us socked n you heard paul wagner mention that the smoke from that fire is really trapped because of this up version. So, its kind of heavy air on top of lighter air and its keeping everything down at the surface. So, unfortunately, that sill within tin to be a health issue for those folks out. There through tuesday, we stay on the cool side. And wednesday, well slowly start to break out of it but your planner for theet rest of this evening will feature a lot of time with your umbrella if you are outside. 53 by 7 00 and by 9 00 showers around and 53 and by 11 00, 5 it agree anesthesia and another wet commute likely for tuesday morning. Well have more on the timing for that and the heat thats back in the forecast as soon as we kick this rear of low president bush youre out of the system. Back to you guys. Thanks, sue.
