1. As Black History Month comes to a close, Wawa is offering free admission to two Philadelphia museums on Saturday, Feb. 26. Wawa volunteers will come to the African American Museum from 10:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., then at the National Constitution Center from 2:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m., to serve free concessions while supplies last.

2. A fiery car crash in North Philadelphia killed a man on Saturday morning. According to Philadelphia police, a minivan heading south on Broad Street swerved and hit a pole in the median. The minivan then burst into flames, trapping the driver inside; medics on the scene reported the man was dead by the time they arrived. (CBS Philly)
3. On Saturday afternoon, a West Philadelphia house fire hospitalized a four-year-old with third-degree burns. Though fire officials are investigating the cause of the fire on Filbert Street, the child's grandparents believe a faulty extension cord is to blame. According to FOX 29, Red Cross was on the scene to assist; a community leader is also setting up a fund to help the family. (FOX 29 Philadelphia)
