eric: it's certainly been a busy day. martha: i wish wehad more time with trey gowdy. also, the benghazi special will air this weekend, the documentary thatbrett behr did so i urge you all to watch that in light of this report . eric: "happening now" start right now . jon: and a fox news alert, the death toll rising in istanbul after a terror attack in the city's airport, at least 41 people dead, more than 230 injured and the prime minister says it appears isis is behind the carnage. welcome to "happening now", i'm jon scott. heather: i'm heather childers in for jenna lee. all the chaos and panic was captured on video, terrified passengers running for their lives as rearmed men wearing suicide vests opened fire on crowds of innocent people and when the officers closing, the attackers blew themselves up one by one. the airport has already reopened just hours after all

that bloodshed as investigators try to piece together what happened. jon: john huddy is following the latest developments live in istanbul, john? reporter: john, the cleanup and repairs are already started not 24 hours after the attack. the wall you are looking at was boarded up, it was riddled with bullets from last night's attack here at a turkey airport in istanbul when three attackers according to turkish officials first opened fire with kalashnikovs and then detonated their explosive devices. we've seen the images, one of the explosions inside the terminal here, the departures terminal and then of course that graphic and dramatic shot of one of the attackers opened fire. he was shot by a police officer, security officer before detonating his explosive device. now, people have been coming to the airport and going, the airport reopened today after

being shut down overnight, security has been high. again, 41 people killed, 239 others injured and a law enforcement source says none of those identified are american though the identification process is ongoing and no group has claimed responsibility but turkish officials continue maintain that this attack had all the signs of isis. isis has carried out other attacks here in turkey including recent suicide attacks and the one in january you wrote may remember that killed 12 german tourists in a district famous, highly touristy district in istanbul where the blue mosque is so isis is very much here and certainly retaliating against turkey's involvement with the us-led coalition efforts in fighting isis in syria. here in the terminal, back on the ground again it's been very busy through the day.

there is certainly an unease. people are being cautious. i talked to several people who are concerned about discontinuing, if this is something that's the beginning of something much larger and john, i can tell you quickly, all day you see the signs and the signs of the destruction destruction and the aftermath of the destruction and certainly a high security presence and what i'm talking about, some of the signs of the destruction if you can follow me back over here. i want to show you this one more time. repairs have been made. the cleanup continuing but over here, if you can get these gentlemen to move out of the way, thank you sir. bullet holes in the glass. john? jon: john huddy live at the airport in istanbul. obviously they've done a great amount of work in a big hurry to get that reopened, thanks very much john. the airport there is one of the busiest in the world,

more than a dozen foreign nationals died there yesterday. it is the fifth suicide bombing in the city just this year, sparking new questions about whether turkey might escalate its fight against isis. let's bring in aaron cunningham, correspondent for the washington post based in istanbul. i know you've had a long night already aaron. thank you for being with us. >> thank you. jon: up till now, turkey has not taken on isis all that directly according to your more recent articles. is that about to change? >> i think it might pick up a lot of the workthat turkey has done has been inside the country , arrested isis cells and implemented controls at the border with syria. in terms of taking the fight to the islamic state in syria, then more restrained area did they allow the united states use the air base in order to strike the jobless and also carried out their own strikes. however, they haven't gone after the militants as

directly as they could. they haven't used the full weight of their military and i think that'ssomething that may be on the table in the coming days and weeks . jon: that would seem to potentially invite only more retaliatory attacks like this from isis is turkey willing to take on that risk? >> that's a good question and i think that they would expect more attacks. they are also fighting kurdish rebels in the south who carried out similar attacks so it's they would have to look at and isis as we've seen is willing to strike civilian targets. i know that turks are worried about the coming violence that there will be more attacks. it's something turkey would have to deal with and eventually they're going to have to face the threat and understand that there is an extensive network in the

country and what they need to do to fight that. jon: tourism is a critical source of revenue for turkey, is it not? onlyan attack at this airport , the ataturk airport, i misidentified it a moment to go , that is clearly going to hobble the turkish economy. >> absolutely and i think that's why you see such immediate efforts to help rebuild the terminal, to get things moving as quickly as possible. the airport is onthe european side of istanbul, it's a hub for not only regional flights but international flights . and it's really a symbol of sort of the modern cosmopolitan turkey that has been crafted in the past few decades. so absolutely, this attack is a blow. it will scare tourists away. they are already canceling tours and have been doing so for the past year or so so this will definitely hurt the economy. jon: is one of the busiest

airports in the world . there is no claim of responsibility yet, no official claim from isis, is that correct? there's nothing you can update us with that you've heard in the past couple minutes? >> know and i monitor some of the channels they use in order to distribute their official statements. there has not been unofficial clean so far.sometimes they issue statements to claim responsibility, it depends on whether or not people who were involved in the attack are able to leave the area safely. they take measures like that in order to keep some of their operatives protected. so despite the fact that there hasn't been any claim, that doesn't mean they won't claim it in the future. jon: it has all the hallmarks on the isis attackaaron cunningham is acorrespondent for the washington post in istanbul. thank you for spending time with us . >> thank you so much .

martha: heather: new fallout from the brexit vote to tell you about, a political battle waging of who will replace prime minister david cameron. went out he will step down by october as other european union leaders make it clear they are determined to stay together in the wake of the uk decision to leave the block. great is live or us in london with more on that. greg? >> for the first time in decades, the uk was not part of the summit meeting of european union leaders in brussels. political leaders of the 27 remaining countries in the organization huddle to find a way to respond to the uk's vote to leave the european union, a vote known as brexit. some are calling for more unity, others less and others know there is discontent with the eu across the continent but all this as the uk couldn't trade freely services, goods and finance in any kind of future arrangement without expecting fallout, take a listen.

>> britain has made it crystal clear today that access to the single market requires acceptance of all freedoms including the freedom of movement. there will be no single market ... >> back in the uk, prime minister david cameron and parliament. he did warn there could be difficulties in the future regarding the economy. he claimed the uk is prepared. remember, as you noted, he said he would step down as early as two months now. today was the first day it was possible for a replacement to throw their hat in the rain, former london mayor boris johnson led the campaign for the uk to leave the eu, he is thought to be one of the front runners to become the head of the conservative party and take over as prime minister. back in brussels, the leader of scotland, nicholas

sturgeon was meeting with officials. she got a very warm reception. remember, scotland actually voted to stay in the eu read they may try another independence referendum to stick with the eu instead of the uk. one more note heather, markets once again bouncing back for a second day in a row on both sides of the atlantic despite all this political confusion. back to you. heather: greg palkot life for us,thank you. jon: brand-new numbers in the race for the white house. according to the latest national survey , hillary clinton and donald trump are now locked in a dead heat between them at 42 percent, trump at 40 percent. meantime, according to another poll by now pedia, trump leads bydouble digits in the key battleground states. were going to dig deeper into these numbers with our political panel a little bit later . heather: also to come, a terror invasion takes an

unexpected turn after the victims turned the tables on this would be burglar. plus, the state department defending its response to the bend of the terror attack despite that scathing report from house republicans. what it means for the obama administration and hillary clinton going forward. and we want to hear from you. secretary of state kerry says the terror attack in istanbul shows that isis is desperate. you agree? our live chat is up and running. go to foxnews.com/happeningnow to join the conversation. >>

let's bring in sarah westwood, a reporter for the washington examiner. thank you for joining us today. >> thank you. heather: let's talk about what the state department is saying. they're saying is nothing new, republicans say the report shows in fact there was a politically motivated cover-up. you've been following this from the beginning. what stands out the most to you in the report and who do you think is right? >> the most shocking findings center on the military response to ben ghazi or lack thereof. the administration has consistently given the impression that it did everything possible to rescue the americans under siege in ben ghazi when evidently, he didn't actually lift a finger and two republican members of the committee put it, it's one thing for the committee to have tried and failed, it's another thing entirely to have not tried it all and it gives the question of the white house's motivations for withholding assets and subsequently spending the attack to look like a protest

. heather: and there are political motivations detailed in the report, speaking of the military and why there were not deployed. there was a team on the runway apparently waiting to be deployed in spain but they sat there on the plane for three hours and instead changed their uniforms three or four timesbecause they didn't want to offend bolivians . >> this is one of many indications in the report that concerns about diplomatic niceties may have prevented an adequate rescue mission from taking place. the fact that they were worried about entering libyan airspace and would not deployed air force until the state department cleared that with bolivians. that kind of reluctance to go into ben ghazi because of political concerns in the context of the 2012 elections, definitely raises questions about where the white house priorities lie be seven and when you think about this to our meeting they had around 7:30 p.m. and you think about the differences about what was going on in ben ghazi and in washington dc at the exact same time, you had americans

fighting for their lives. you had an ambassador missing at the time. this while we had people sitting around the table including hillary clinton here in america talking about the youtube video so do you think that messaging took a precedent over american lives? >> it certainly seems to have an equal importance to the white house as the actual attack that was going on on the ground and the white house has blamed their slow response to the attack and their subsequent focus on youtube clip on conflicting intelligence that was coming out of the region but this makes clear there was never any conflicting intelligence. there was one story and that this was a well-planned, heavily armed attack that took place and lasted for hours and the white house knew that from the beginning and yet presented it differently to the public.

heather: 13 hours and they also said this entire investigation was focused on hillary clinton and derailing her prospects of becoming president. how often is she actually mentioned in the report? >> not very often. surprisingly this report and for the focus that has been placed on hillary clinton's role in ben ghazi, especially by the democrats, the report talks more about the military response. it talks about the bureaucratic red tape that prevented this from being handled properly. hillary clinton is only really related to how the administration handled the attack and it's not at all focused on her. in fact, she is portrayed more as a participant in a greater operation than someone who was the mastermind behind some sort of scandal. heather: it will be interesting to see how or if that impacts the presidential race. thank you for joining us. >> thank you. jon: new crisis for toyota. the massive recall affecting millions of toyota cars worldwide.

heather: happening now, new troubles for toyota as the company announces a new recall of more than 3 million cars worldwide. possible defects involving airbags on more than 2 million of the same vehicles also under recall. possible fault in emissions control use. this following another recall earlier this week of more than 1 million cars over a separate issue involving airbag insulators. affected models include 2006 to 2015 previous, rs compaq aspects and the popular corolla as well as the

previous and you ask dt 208 models made between2010 and 2012 . jon: the presidential candidates reacting to the deadly terror attack at the istanbul airport. hillary clinton issued a statement saying americans stand with the people of turkey. she urge cooperation with our allies to defeat the forces of terrorism as donald trump to the tougher line at a campaign stop yesterday their law says you can doanything you want and more vicious you are, the better. they probably think we are weak, we are stupid, we don't know what we're doing . we have no leadership area you know, you have to fight fire with fire. jon: let's talk about it with ian pryor, communications director for american crossroads. brad grossman's democratic strategist , also founding partner of gotham government relations. welcome to both of you.

ian, what do you think about those two responses? >> sure, well look. if you look at hillary clinton's statement is more of the same. the course, we got this under control. but that's not what the american people want to hear and let's not forget the clinton obama policy as part of the reason why the world is on fire. it can be summed up in two words. weakness and confusion. you look at syria, you look at libya and look at iraq, our policies there have created a vacuum which has allowed isis to take root so is anyone confident that that statement shows she's learned anything over the intervening four years from when she left the state department? because it looks to be the same as usual from hillary clinton. jon: brand, the response from donald trump seemed to be characteristically toufor speci that's exactly it. there are any specifics because he really doesn't have specifics but i do give him credit because he's appealing to those who are

interested in a more muscular for an approach to our business overseas antiterrorism he's opening up that discussion. from a political standpoint i think he's doing the right thing because he's laying the groundwork to make a real decision and the american people need to make a real decision between the more rustic muscular approach or more of the same. i don't entirely disagree with what was stated earlier but i think if you look at the most recent poll and you see the question was who do you feel would be more responsible in fighting terrorism, hillary i believe had a double-digit lead over donald trump i'm not sure that donald trump's message is resonating as much as many people think it is. jon: ian, let's imagine a president hillary clinton or a president trump responding to what happened in turkey last night. how do they go about it? >> i think the ben ghazi report issued yesterday was very instructive on hillary clinton area we had a rescue team on the tarmac in spain ready to go to ben ghazi and hillary clinton and her band of bureaucrats were in a conference room worrying about what the rescue team

should wear so as not to offend the libyans at the same time our embassy was under attack. as far as the president trump would look like, it's unclear but what is clear, it's not president hillary clinton so it's not going to be more of the same. i think it would be a more muscular approach, i think it would be a more aggressive approach and i think that is the upshot of donald trump's foreign-policy is that we need to be more aggressive, we need to be more muscular and it can't be the same policies that haveled us down this dark path where isis has become an international force . jon: one of the interesting conclusions of this ben dossey report is that people at the state department messed up. there are lots of people who messed up but the headlines all scream that there is nothing new correlating all of this to hillary clinton. >> exactly.this ben ghazi situation is although of course i don't condone it. i think the behavior by our government could have been much better but on the other

hand, it doesn't have any connection to what's going on with international terrorism. some of these attacks are lone wolf attacks, they are as coordinated as the war on istanbul at the airport we have to find out how can we protect our own people? that's really the issue and what is most affecting our country in relation to terrorism? i'd like more specifics on that issue. donald trump is offering none other than the two bomb the heck out of those people and a lot of people like to hear that and maybe that opens a discussion and broadens the discussion and it so, that's terrific as well. people like the hillary clinton and obama path despite what you may hear from others on the other side . jon: what about the fact that they didn't want tooffend the libyan government ? and the dithering as the end put it over the wearing of uniforms because they didn't want it to appear as if there was some kind of american invasion. since when do americans worry about offending other governments when american people are in harm's way? >> you know what, the

question is do i think or should the democrats be concerned about these kind of issues as much as they have been the last seven years and i would agree that democrats do have to take a step up in this fight against terrorism and be less apologetic and to move forward in a little more of an aggressive way so yes, i think that mentality has to be there but again, the conduct with regard to ben ghazi and all that stuff makes no sense to me and it makes no sense to the public either but i think the democrats need to tweak thata bit but the question becomes again, there's a huge difference , a huge gap and the divide between hillary clinton discussion on terrorism and doldrums discussion and is going to be up to theamerican people to decide which one they like more . jon: ian, in a word will voters keep in mind these responses to events like turkey when they go to the voting booth? >> absolutely.

this is going to be top of mind come november and americans want to see that we are at war with isis. we need to prosecute that war as it should be, not as a political correct pr campaign which is what seems like the obama administration has done the last couple of years. jon: ian pryor from american crossroads, brad grossman from public relations. thank you.heather: still to come, nike courting controversy at wimbledon. why some players and fans are complaining about its new tennis outfit, john. why do you think that is? we will tell you. and the california wildfires are becoming a year-round problem. million people now living in the danger zone. how did we get to this point and what can be done to protect people's homes? a life story after this. >>

to have stabilized for now. two big reasons stock or ups today. consumer spending picked up last month and amid confidence that central banks would step in if necessary to counter any drag the uk boat is having on the global economy. even nike is a winner today. the company reported quarterly revenue and even future orders that missed wall street expectations and it's getting heat, a lot of heat for this thing called the premier plan. too short for the court, nike sponsored players like katie swan seen here, they're wearing it but it was so low on katie it seemed to have gotten her way. she had to talk in her shorts and guess what? she lost her match. some critics say the dress looks like a 90. others said it revealed way too much . nike offered alterations but they are getting heat from social media for that dress. jon: all right, lauren simonetti, thank you. >> you are keeping your parts yourself. jon: i will be seven back to

our lead story, the deadly terror attacks in turkey. investigators now trying to identify the bombers andpiece together how the attacks unfolded , pouring through surveillance video and interviewing witnesses today while the turkish government is blaming isis, the islamic state has not yet claimed responsibility but the terror group really does that for attacks in turkey. joining us now, jonathan chandler, vice president of research for the defense of democracy and former terrorism analyst at the treasury department, thank you for joining us. >> my pleasure. heather: you believe isis was responsible for the attack? >> right now that is i think the prevailing assumption among turkish military and intelligence and i think it's also the assessments of the us right now. the attacks bear the markings of what we saw in brussels back in march with three different attackers first using assault rifles then self detonating. we've also seen reports out of turkey that 20 days ago there was a warning issued

about potential isis attacks in that country including on the airport so again right now, it looks that all signs are pointing towards the islamic state. heather: this is nothing new, there were four other attacks attributed to isis in 2016 that have taken place in turkey. tell us what you know about this possible check in connection? >> there's just been rumors floating around in the turkish media that there may have been at least one foreigner involved which is again, points to possible involvement of the islamic faith as opposed to the pkk, the kurdish separatist movement that has been waiting attacks against turkey so seeing that possible foreign presence is one more indication that this was potentially a isis attack . heather: i want to talkmore about this report you've co-authored, it specifically deals with the problem of isis in turkey, called bordering on terrorism : turkeys terrorism problem and

the rise of the islamic state. i read through this and there's a lot of interesting material here. one of the things you attribute the rise of isis to the lax border policy there in turkey. >> that's right. we watched this over the last several years that the turkish government had a bowl and that was to topple the rule of basher all assad in syria. this should have been american policy as well that america's policy was not to allow for the jihadist self to cross over the turkish border. we seem not only people crossing over but weapons, cash, the sale of oil, the sale of antiquities, this is back in turkey so in other words isis and a range of other groups really benefited from turkey's lax border policies and one of the other things we noted in that report was that as a result of this activity, we began to see pockets of individuals who were sympathetic to isis growing throughout turkey, not just on the eastern border but also in places like istanbul and entourage, the capital of turkey so

there was real concern that there would be potential blowback as a result of turkey's reckless policy with regard to syria. heather: in the meantime, turkey now has at least opened up their airbases to us forces but a couple of other things happening around this same time, turkey seeking to improve relations with russia, roger of course acting a sod in syria and this past tuesday, the announcement of the deal with israel after six years so all that happening perhaps not coincidentally. >> know, i think actually if you take a step back and look at turkey's foreignpolicy, that the president of turkey , erdogan has been more authoritarian over the past several years. he's stifled democracy in that country and in the process he's also reached out to a wide range of islamic groups which has caused a lot of concern among the west here in the united states as well so there was i think an assessment made by the turkish ruling elite that they needed to pivot back toward the united states, pivot back to the west and saw some of these problems

and really isolate turkey over the last couple of years . heather: perhaps a little too late. jonathan, thank you for joining us. >> thankyou . jon: it's been over 24 hours that the select committee on the ben ghazi investigation report has been released. while republicans are saying there is plenty of new information in it, democrats are blasting it. ambassador john bolton is here with his take on the report and its ultimate value. >>

jon: new information into new reports issued on the ben ghazi attacks. neither finds fresh evidence of wrongdoing on the part of hillary clinton who was secretary of state at the time but the select committees republicans accused the obama administration of blocking important documents and witnesses. democrats say the republicans goal is to damage mrs. clinton politically on

"happening now" yesterday, i asked congressman javier becerra after the revelations of mrs. clinton's private email system that came out of this report and also a message he sent sent to her daughter calling it that and al qaeda like. >> i guarantee you i could have found out the answer to that question without spending 1 million taxpayer dollars. the republicans had secretary on the witness stand under oath for 11 hours. one question could've gotten to that and you don't have to spend 7 million taxpayer dollars with this partisan investigationto try to find out some of that information or to just regurgitate what we know . jon: john bolton, former us ambassador to the united nations, senior fellow at the american enterprise institute and the fox news contributor. the point of congressman becerra and many other democrats we've been talking about is that there is nothing new in this report, give us your take i think the thing that perhaps most

important from what the congressman was saying is that hillary clinton really learned a lot when she served on eder rubino's judiciary committee staff, working to impeach richard nixon and we see how the white house and state department obstructed the committee, the ghost of john ehrlichman, remember his famous phrase cover up, take the fifth, whatever it takes to save the plan and that's what they did. this was a stonewall and it's four years after the ben ghazi attacks and still many questions are unanswered so i'm afraid that that's the most important new thing we learned, it's really not that new but that obstructionism works if you are diligent enough about it. i think the committee did everything they could to get answers to many of these questions and the fact is there's no new information on some key points reflects the obstructionism, not the committee's failure. >> the head of that committee

, trey gowdy appeared an hour or so ago talking about the fact that they asked president obama questions and didn't get answers, it also said that secretary of defense leon panetta ordered military assets to be deployed but they were never deployed and there was a mystery about that, listen. >> we know little bit about what secretary panetta was asked to do because of an email from the white house around midnight, washington time. i don't know where the president was.we asked him questions, series of 15 questions which are fair and rooted in the record and he's got time to talk to zach galpin actress and derek jeter but doesn't have time to answer questions from congress. what do you make of that, mister ambassador. >> i think in fact although the democrats on the committee said the report was aimed at secretary clinton, one significant new piece of information is this apparent failure within the department of defense and until we get

an answer to that question, we really have to worry about whether what happens in other circumstances but i think one reason that there was no follow-up or that this deficiency wasn't uncovered at the time is that the white house had gone to sleep. another new piece of information is a meeting of the national security council deputies committee at about 7:30 on the night of september 11. that should have been a deputy committee meeting, that should have been a meeting chaired by the president, all national security council, secretary panetta should have been there, secretary clinton was there by phone apparently but what they were talking about was not how the military relief efforts were going but the propaganda line about this famous mohammed video and i think the very fact that they got information that this is now the top national security officials spending their time on september 11, that tells you everything you need to know

about the president'slack of concern . jon: we know the night that osama bin laden rate took place, the white house was, well, they had a photographer right there in the situation room taking pictures of president obama and mrs. clinton looking concerned obviously as the raid was underway and hats off to them for successful raid there but on the night that our embassy is under attack, there's nothing and there appears to be nobody at the white house, nobody in the administration responsible for the fact that no military assets got beyond italy that night. >> i think this is clear dereliction of duty on the part of resident obama. i have to say i think it's dereliction of duty on the part of secretary clinton as well. she went home and the president apparentlywent out to the living quarters in the white house .i've worked for six secretaries of state, i don't know one of them would have left their desk on the seventh floor of the

state department to go home while americans were in jeopardy. it's like the bridge of the state department and the captain left to go home area and i think this is something that hillary clinton is going to need to answer for. she was not available that night, why should she be available to be president of the united states? jon: there were a number of fascinating conclusions but here's one of them i wanted to flag for you. a fleet , antiterrorist and security team, task team, sat on a plane in rodeo spain for three hours and change in and out of their uniforms four times.apparently, the marines on board that plane but there was concern that if there wore uniforms into rescue our personnel, it would look like an american invasion. your response to that? >> you better believe it. when americans are in danger, we do what we have to do and of the reports evidence that this was a concern by the state department to say that's the most embarrassing thing that i heard in all of these conversations that are now freshly reported but one

thing that's important, the principal defense for the president and secretary clinton and others is that it wouldn't have made any difference even if we had set forces in motion and couldn't stop the killing of ambassador stevens, they couldn't have stopped the second attack on the cia annexed, that may or may not be true but i tell you this, at that time decision-makers did not know when the attacks were goingto be over. that day, our embassy in cairo had also been attacked, our embassy in tunis, our embassy in yemen .not detected by intelligence beforehand. we had no way of knowing on the night of september 11 attacks all across north africa and the middle east might not be coming the next day. it wasn't the prudent thing to do to get forces in position maybe to bring americans out from conditions of danger all across the region and yet nothing was done. we can only thank god the attacks were as limited as

they were this time and that's a lesson to learn the next time you want a lot of people in washington seem to be sitting on their hands read ambassador john bolton, thank you. >> thank you john. heather: thousands of acres up in flames in california as scientists say it will only get worse. what should the state do to protect its citizens? just ahead . >> [siren] come on! ♪ come on. ♪

jon: closing in on the top of the hour, let's check out what's ahead on "outnumbered". sandra and harris. >> thing on the big story today, the terror attack in turkey at one of the world's busiest airports. if this was the evil work of the islamic state savages, doesn't show they are desperate as john kerry says or are they in fact on the rise? all this as top justice department officials are no-shows at a hearing on whether the administration is

downplaying the role of radical islam in terrorism and more fallout from the houseman ghazi report. hillary clinton says nothing new here. time to move on. is it? that class a hashtag one lucky guy who says wake up america. eric bowling himself on "outnumbered", top of the hour. jon: we will be watching, thank you see you. heather: as wildfires ravaged california, destroying homes and charring thousands of acres, the state is confronting what is essentially becoming a year-round fire season. william takes a closer look from los angeles. >> this year we had four major fires in april. three years ago we had one in thanksgiving and this year's early wildfires follow the

worst year on record in terms of acres burned so this report from a group of scientists says what we are seeing is not a random event. warmer temperatures mean less moisture means dryer brush, less rain means a longer fire season. our population is now 40 million, that's double 1972. maybe moving to formerly rural areas where a single lightning strike can turn heartless forest fire into one that levels of community. in the past, forest service weird dry brush so smallfires and become big ones, they don't do that anymore. california has 30 million dead trees up from 30,000,002 years ago . because of the drought, beetles and disease, those dead trees are like a match waiting to spark. thestudy shows the number of large fires are increasing dramatically across the west , more than tripling between the 70s and 2014 so what can we do? one thing that has helped is those reverse 911 calls, most people get out of the house when fire approaches. two, money. a quick response makes a big difference in urban areas. they need more planes, more helicopters, more fire retardant. it's expensive but does say phones and as you know, you

seen before where a fire, one house will be there and 10 will not, that's when prevention can make a difference, back to you. heather: thank you. and we will be right back.
