Philadelphia Fire Department officials are investigating three car fires overnight, all happening within a few blocks of each other in the Tacony section of the city. The first was on the 6300 block of Ditman Street just before 2:30 a.m. There were two vehicles on fire at this location. The Fire Marshal is also investigating another car fire on Torresdale Avenue, just about two blocks away. No injuries were reported as a result of any of the fires and there was no serious damage to any of the homes in the neighborhood.

City Council President Darrell Clarke says council has every intention of working with Mayor Nutter this year, even though Nutter has had a rough relationship with Council and is in his final year in office. Council's agenda for the coming session will be dominated by the issues of school district funding, a proposal to mandate earned sick leave, and a renewed debate on the future of PGW â€“ and he expects collaboration with the mayor.

One Book, One Philadelphia kicked off its annual push of reading, literacy, and libraries. The Parkway Central Library played host Thursday night as the program celebrates its 13th season
Itâ€™s a city wide reading of a single book. This year, the program is encouraging reading through the book Orphan Train. The program hosts a number of different events and it runs through May 19th.
