live look here. the corner of 3rd and chestnut streets in old city. fire officials say the flames started in a six-story building. this is right across from the museum of the american revolution. we're still seeing flames 3 1/2 hours later. 239 chestnut which includes apartments, a diner and a pizza shop. the fire has spread. that's why they're asking folks in neighboring buildings to evacuate if they hear a fire alarm. as of 5:00 a.m., the fire reached four alarms and let's come back here live. we have a fire official who will be giving us a brief update on the investigation as they continue to battle these flames. the commissioner has just arrived. we'll come back here live and speak with fire commissioner adam theel. >> good morning. still working this four alarm plus fire. we're starting to get a handle on it. these buildings are connected. so a lot of fire in the building of origin. we're trying to contain it to that building. we found an additional 50 to 60 folks we've now evacuated. we're going to be here for hours. we have our fire marshals on the scene. our task force is here, atf and others. simply because of the magnitude of the fire. it will be hours until we can answer a lot of your questions. again, incredible work by the firefighters an the medics. everybody is working together. thankfully, it looks like we've got a handle on this thing. >> the difficulty of fighting this type of fire, what are some of the challenges you face? >> there are a lot of challenges. the buildings have become connected over time. there's heavy fire in this building. so it's still an active firefight. we have a lot of work to do. >> commissioner, any injuries to report and has the fire spread to neighboring buildings? >> no injuries to report right now. we're going to be here for hours. we're hopeful that situation continues. it looks like we've managed to contain this to the building of origin. due to the incredible work of our firefighters, best in the world, especially with this type of situation, we've managed to contain this. it's too soon to declare victory. >> it spread to the top? >> it's all the way through the building of origin. >> top to bottom. >> for folks in the area, you said before, if you hear a fire alarm, smell smoke, get out. you had to evacuate more people. >> that's folks in every area. if you hear a fire alarm, you should evacuate. in this area, pay attention. we have embers flying out. yeah, i think we're going to have this -- we'll be able to keep it contained due to the great work of our firefighters, medics and all of our team on the scene. >> started on this end. [ inaudible ] >> we found another building where people had not evacuated. so we got them out. >> commissioner, adam thiel working a difficult fire scene. more than 140 firefighters from philadelphia, from all over the city are on scene right now. the good news, they're working to contain it. they just evacuated even more people. they'll be here for hours and the investigation into what caused this

the city's fox chase neighborhood. firefighters responded to the burning home last night. you can see the intensity of the flames there on your screen. it took crews about 90 minutes to get the fire under control. the victim, unfortunately, died at the scene. two firefighters were also hurt. we're told they're going to be okay. investigators will be looking for the cause of that fire. let's go back to our weather that we had overnight back to that snow coating in parts of the area this morning. the lehigh valley also seeing most of the snow here in this laters winter blast. >> for now. it may be melting shortly. pam osborne is on scene checking out roads. >> reporter: crews did a really good job of clearing things off. this is hamilton street. you can see the main problem is just wet, slickness. a little slushy on the corners. take a look at this truck here. you can see about 6 inches on the back of that truck. we know that the snow fell, but they've been doing a good job of getting rid of it. let's look at video. overnight penndot lifted speed limit restrictions because of snow. they have had initially told people to drop their speeds down to 45 miles per hour. that is no longer a thing. allentown is where the heaviest snow fell. there was reduced visibility. snow quickly covered the sidewalks and roadways. crews were out all night salting and plowing the roads. one woman was going to walk him instead of trying to drive in the snow. as we take a live look out right now, you can see people not having too much trouble either walking around or driving around this morning. i will say you just got to watch out. some of the sidewalks, it looks like there's snow on the ground, but this is actually ice that's on the ground. so be careful. be aware of that. just like always, allow yourself a few extra minutes to get there. i'm pamela osborne, nbc 10 news. use the nbc 10 app to keep track of our winter weather roller coaster. and use the one our meteorologists

west. again, if you live in old city, the quality of the air not the best at this point because of some of the smoke around the area. let's talk about the conditions throughout the neighborhoods through our sunday. sunday itself will be a really nice day, especially considering it snowed last night over much of the region. we're at 36 at 8:00 a.m. we'll get to 42 by noontime. at 4:00 in the

evacuated from apartments and condos in the area. we also know there are no injuries to report. that's the good news here. the flames have been contained mostly really completely as it appears at the moment to the building where the fire broke out. at this point, even though we've had evacuations, really seems to be in the building where it started. on the first floor, there's a diner and a pizza shop and above there are apartments. we'll continue to have updates at old city at 3rd and chestnut throughout the morning. >> it's not being -- give us some real education to the -- [ inaudible ] >>
