moment as we get the in to or out of downtown philadelphia we have a fire location in kensington and jasper and tioga, construction crews out on 422, out near route 23, but again, this is going to be a tough take for septa. let's roll video from our news vans all over the lays yesterday. have of course those cracks found on the trains on sunday, septa, held a press briefing yesterday around 1:30. here's the bottom line. they have pulled 60 cars off of the fleet, from the crack that was found in a main support beam underneath a number of the market frankford line cars. the scenario, they don't know what caused it. they are looking for the best fix at the moment, and let's come back to the maps because for morning rush hour here's what we can expect, longer gap s between the trains, platforms overcrowding, and same scenario as yesterday but i think we will have more people to tiehl with today as everyone is heading back to

4:05 am
a safety recaution, it took crews almost an hour to get the fire under control. only casualty of this was a family dog that did not make it out of this home, in time. so again back out here live fire crew is still on the scene here, fire marshall is on the scene investigating the cause of the the fire. l and i has been called out to inspect the home, jasper street is shut down as fire crews continue their work and people, wide awake on this street at this hour trying to look and see what happened to their neighbor's homes. thomas and karen. we have another fire in north philadelphia under investigation about 11:00 o'clock last night scene right the there there is joyce street. good news is the family was able to make it out safely but fire fighters rushed into rescue two pets. this was a strange one people in rittenhouse square, will likely be thinking about this one as they helped out to where ever they are going. the it was complete chaos yesterday after somebody carrasquillo jacked a cab and takes it on a ride through and
