a lot of smoke here. power has been shut off as well for some of the folks in this area and a lot of evacuations as well. the fire department couldn't give me an exact number as to how many people had to be evacuated. we do have some people staying in a deli here across the street. we also spoke with somebody who was in one of the homes when this fire started a couple hours ago, here is what she told us. >> so when i looked through the window i saw my neighbor's house on fire. so i called 911 and we came outside, there was no way -- there was no way -- we couldn't be in there no more. we started knocking the doors and everybody came out. right now we can't go on. we don't know what is going on. we can't go home. we are all in the streets right now. >> reporter: so the trenton fire chief that we just spoke with a little while ago he told us that they have 30 fire trucks here right now. there were some people taken to the hospital, did he not have an exact number at this point.

they are still very busy with the main effort which is fighting this fire. we did ask him about how the chilly weather and the winds have been playing a role in this. here is what he had to say. >> the wind really wasn't an issue. the biggest problem as i stated before were the wires that were hampering the firefighting efforts. because of safety public service, electric and gas responded here, they shut off the whole grid so our firefighters could operate safely so we could mitigate this incident. >> eight homes burning, still burning at this hour two and a half hours later. this is going to be quite a scene for a little while here. this is around olden avenue. the fire itself was happening on wineberg place. we're told not only homes were burped but also cars as well. some of these folks not even sure what they are going to be able to go home to. we're talking with more people and the fire chief at the top of the hour. >> thank you. 5:33.

decade. >> that's insane that a public figure can do that and just not have a care in the world. it's just unreal. >> authorities released ciach and will mail him a summons for his arraignment. we've reached out to the mayor for comment but he has not yet responded. if you have the nbc 10 app you were one of the first to learn about the mayor's arrest, you can download it free before you leave the house and get breaking news and exclusive content on the go. mondays are always a little harder an an eagles loss, eagles beat down. >> the birds lost to the other birds out west in seattle yesterday. csn's jillian mele joins us live to break down yesterday's match up. when they were 3-0 i thought they were a lock in the playoffs, now they are a .500 team with six games left to go. i don't know if it's going to happen. >> you are with a lot of people, vai, a lot of people aren't sure if it's going to happen. we got super excited when they were 3-0 and unfortunately now we see what's going on. this is a team that we expected them to be before that great

start. so i think it's important to remember that. guys, it was a tough one yesterday, a lot of people were ragging on me last week for not being super confident on the eagles to pull this one out. unfortunately it was a struggle, especially for one player in particular, nelson agholar. he caught a pass that ended up being a touchdown but that was taken back. you can see the coaches on the sideline not to happy. next drive nelson agholor with another drop. there is a go fund me page a link that was tweeted to me calling for people to cut him. so people are very upset. zero catches for zero yards yesterday. 7 yards in the last two games. unfortunately, guys, you can see right there this is one of those problems. i will give nelson agholor a too

tiny bit the credit, i gave him an a plus in the way he responded in his comments after the game to reporters in the locker room. he took responsibility. he said, i have to get out of my own head. vai, you know what that's like, sometimes it's just a game going on in your head and you have to escape that. >> i know that all too well in my career. jill, i'm watching this game and you're too young to remember this, but it reminded me of the body bag game i think it was 1990 against the redskins where they were just carting people off the field left and right. there were so many guys carted off the field yesterday. obviously we don't know what this is going to do -- it's not going to be good for the rest of the season when you have so many guys missing now. >> you can handle the loss if it's the way that you're mentally thinking about this but what you can't handle is having a guy like darren sproles injured. he was taken out during the game. he is your number one guy right now as far as your go-to, a guy you can rely on the run game and short passes, ryan matthews has

a reported sprained mcl in his right knee, mckelvin is being evaluated for a concussion. fletcher cox, jason peters all dealt with injuries, they were able to go back into the game but these are a lot of your key guys here who went out with injuries. doug peterson is going to have a press conference today at soon and we will carry that live on csn. >> this is how we know that jillian is a sportscaster. >> i practice a lot. >> thank you very much. good job, jillian. up next the packers in prime time. the game is a week from today. the eagles haven't lost in a year we're hoping they keep that spring going. maybe they should just play tag football for the rest of the season. limit the injuries. >> you always have the best ideas. >> one point more than the other
