The 300 block of North Front Street in the Old City section of Philadelphia is encased in thick ice. It's the result of a weekend fire that flared up again late Sunday night forcing firefighters to return and pour water on the flames in the freezing cold.
"I feel bad for those neighbors. You have to dig your car out. It's enough trouble getting your car started in this cold weather." said neighbor Anthony DellaPia.
In Germantown, three people were injured during a fire at an apartment building.
The fire started around 11:30 p.m. Monday along the 5700 block of Morris Street in the 6-floor apartment building.
The trees surrounding the building turned to icicles, and cars parked on the street were covered in ice, after firefighters doused the building with water to put out the flames.

Back on Front Street, neighbors wondered whether all the ice did damage to the cars and if the building might be at risk of collapse.
"The fire department was here for two days, so I assume they know what they're doing," said neighbor Mike O'Connell.
There is no indication city officials are concerned about any collapse. The road remains open to traffic.
