you all. we start with those wildfires causing so much concern across the drought-stricken west right now. >> and take a look at this stunning image of the fire burning in and around the city, wenatchee, washington, about 120 miles east of seattle. firefighters obviously still with plenty to do before that fire is under control. >> that's the case for dozens of other wildfires burning in several states. abc's kenneth moton with the details. >> reporter: the firefight continued overnight. the firestorm in washington state fueled by strong winds, dry conditions and triple-digit temperatures in wenatchee. in the light of day, incredible scenes of destruction. a 3,000-acre fire leaving behind charred earth. so far more than two dozen homes, some mansions, destroyed. thousands of residents evacuated. >> embers were going from one house to another catching the roofs on fire. >> you grab your family. >> your kids. >> kids and our animals. we stayed with friends across

the wenatchee river and watched this area burn all night. >> reporter: embers from the massive wildfire have also reached businesses sparking explosions and industrial fires. ammonia leaked from buildings sending thick, toxic black smoke into downtown wenatchee. a red flag warning remained in effect late monday night as firefighters gained ground. >> i think the worst is over but you still have to be vigilant. >> reporter: that vigilance will be needed throughout the summer. right now across the west nearly 75 wildfires are burning from alaska to arizona. in california, a much smaller but still destructive fire has burned 300 acres in mesa. fire crews have been working from the air and the ground. 1400 people have been evacuated. no homes or other structures have been lost, but emergency officials say the fire has the potential to do a lot of damage. kenneth moton, abc news, washington. >> and the unfortunate news is the forecast isn't offering much

assistance to the fire crews working those crews. red flag warnings are in place today. >> and washington, oregon and idaho, justin povick has the forecast for us in that area and elsewhere. good morning to you, justin. >> t.j. and reena, thanks and good morning. record-breaking temperatures back in the forecast over the northwest, and this is very concerning because when you talk about heat, major droughts, gusty winds, low humidity and dry lightning. thunderstorms here not producing rain but the worst of a possible situation is dry lightning. we are very concerned about extreme wildfire danger and that's going to span throughout much of the week, not just on this tuesday. on this tuesday, though, concerned about wet weather rolling into p.a., new york and i-95 corridor cities around d.c., baltimore, philadelphia and new york city and then it looks like the rain chances will continue for the fourth of july weekend. not a washout but there will be some storms around. t.j. and reena, back to you. breaking overnight a military cargo plane has crashed into a crowded residential neighborhood in indonesia. it had just taken off from an

air force base in medan city with 50 people on board. the plane reportedly had engine trouble then slammed into two houses and a car bursting into flames. a hospital in the area says there are dozens of fatalities. new this morning, german airline lufthansa expected to make settlement offers as soon as today to families who lost loved ones in the germanwings crash. investigators believe that pilot andreas lubitz deliberately crashed the plane into the french alps killing all 150 on board. it was later revealed that lubitz had been treated for depression. another major story we're following is the aftermath of that prison escape in new york. the fbi now investigating an alleged heroin ring inside the walls of that maximum security prison involving inmates and guards. well, the prisoner who was captured alive over the weekend is now speaking out from his hospital bed. david sweat says prison worker joyce mitchell failed to show up to give them a ride. >> they would kill mitchell's

husband and then get in the car and drive to mexico on the theory that mitchell was in love with one or both of them. >> well, when mitchell was a no show, the escapees decided to make a run for canada instead. sweat also telling investigators he and richard matt separated in the final five days because matt was slowing him down. matt was shot and killed by authorities on friday. well, the crowd of republican race for president could get a lot more interesting today. new jersey governor chris christie announces later today that he's joining the race. christie is expected to make the announcement at his former high school where he was student body president. known for his brash, some might say overbearing, personality, christie could be a natural on the campaign trail. >> it is clear that he is very capable of rebounding and that he's a masterful retail politician and so i don't think it's tremendously surprising that he chose to move forward. >> according to our latest poll, 22% of americans see christie favorably. 48% say unfavorably.

expect heavy traffic on the state department website today as the first batch of hillary clinton's e-mails are made public. the records were ordered released after clinton admitted she used her private mail to conduct state department business. today's release will be only a small fraction of her 55,000 e-mails sent as secretary of state. some good news, millions of american workers will be eligible for overtime under a new plan proposed by president obama. the president recommends that salaried workers who earn roughly $50,000 a year be guaranteed time and a half after a 40-hour week. right now only salaried workers earning 23,000 or less are eligible for ot. business groups oppose it. greece is on the verge of bankruptcy. and that's shaking up 401(k)s here at home. greek banks are shut down. withdrawals from atms limited to $67 a day. the government says it will not be able to make a $1.8 billion loan payment that is due today. that uncertainty caused the dow to fall 350 points. the biggest loss in two years.

when the dow drop dropped 353 in june of 2013. puerto rico's economy also in a death spiral. last night the government or governor, i should say, went on tv to say that his attempts to cut expenses and restructure debt has failed. he said the territory's $74 billion debt is unpayable. u.s. bankruptcy law doesn't allow -- apply, rather, in the u.s. territory and a federal bailout is not in the works. puerto rico faces a major debt payment tomorrow. >> a lot of people watching that story. still ahead, is fruit the anti-sunscreen? also trump getting fired. nbc severing ties with the presidential candidate following his comments about mexicans. this morning, the donald is responding. plus, like "dukes of hazzard," a car launches off a bridge. the driver blaming his gps.

i thought i'd start the video by showing you the apartment building where the fire was. when things like this happen i think you find a new perspective on life. hi. red cross put us in a hotel so we were able to stay together. we're strong and if we overcame that or if we can overcome that we can overcome anything, so.

a historic ballpark in downtown eugene, oregon, has been destroyed by a fire. flames shooting up twice the height of the stadium and smoke could be seen all over the city. the stadium was built in 1938 and officials say its dry seasoned wood caused that fire to spread quickly. eyewitnesses saying he saw the fire started in the press box not far from home plate. turning to that tragic plane crash in massachusetts. one family dead. another family escaped after the private plane slammed into a house. the victims have been identified as a tennessee doctor, his wife and teenage daughter flying to a college tour in boston. homeowners and their two children managed to escape uninjured as their house went up in flames. >> my wife and my boys were upstairs when the plane hit. the boys' rooms are the ones you see burnt out and when i saw the fireball go down the back of the

house, we realized it was a little more serious than that and we shouted at the kids to get out of the house. >> the pilot reported engine trouble moments before the crash but it was too late to get to the closest airport. the surviving family plans to rebuild but their thoughts are now with the victims. turns out the most american made car is a toyota. a sur sigh by cars.com looked at where vehicles' parts are made and where it's built and the camry is most american made. america's best-selling vehicle for decades, the ford f-150 didn't even make the list because the truck contains less than 75% of american made parts. and mcdonald's beefing up its quarter pounder. the burger will grow from 4 ounces to 4.25 ounces there you go and it will get other tweaks to make it easier. according to reports it's mcdonald's latest move to stop the losses to trendier

competitors including five guys and shake shake. sales have fallen nearly 2.5% this year and some stores are closing. maybe i need a burger this morning. >> a veggie burger. come on, reena. when we come back here, lost in the forest for days, a pregnant lady goes into labor. her amazing survival story involving this new mom. plus 6'5" and full of muscle, a football player steps in when a concertgoer gets rowdy.

across america, people are taking charge of their type 2 diabetes... ...with non-insulin victoza. for a while, i took a pill to lower my blood sugar but it didn't get me to my goal. so i asked my doctor about victoza. he said victoza works differently than pills and comes in a pen. victoza is proven to lower blood sugar and a1c. it's taken once a day, any time. and the needle is thin. victoza is not for weight loss but it may help you lose some weight. victoza is an injectable prescription medicine that may improve blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes when used with diet and exercise. it is not recommended as the first medication to treat diabetes and should not be used in people with type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. victoza has not been studied with mealtime insulin. victoza is not insulin. do not take victoza if you have a personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2, or if you are allergic to victoza or any of its ingredients.

symptoms of a serious allergic reaction may include swelling of face lips, tongue or throat fainting or dizziness, very rapid heartbeat problems breathing or swallowing, severe rash or itching. tell your doctor if you get a lump or swelling in your neck. serious side effects may happen in people who take victoza including inflammation of the pancreas (pancreatitis) which may be fatal. stop taking victoza and call your doctor right away if you have signs of pancreatitis, such as severe pain that will not go away in your abdomen or from your abdomen to your back with or without vomiting. tell your doctor about all the medicines you take and if you have any medical conditions. taking victoza with a sulfonylurea or insulin may cause low blood sugar. the most common side effects are nausea, diarrhea, and headache. some side effects can lead to dehydration, which may cause kidney problems. if your pill isn't giving you the control you need... ask your doctor about non-insulin victoza. it's covered by most health plans.

take a look at that. a bizarre crash scene near houston. a car ending up in a backyard pool. a 17-year-old driver lost control, plowed through the fence, sideswiped the house and drove right into the shallow end of the pool. yeah, the driver, she was embarrassed but not seriously hurt. by the way, she lives two doors down. the lexus was mom's and dad's. give you a look at morning road conditions that that young lady will not be on. it's going to be wet in a lot of places, southwest in the rockies, across the northern plains, in the southeast, as well, same deal across the great lakes, the ohio valley into the northeast. possible flooding in some of those areas. we'll turn to donald trump now. he's fighting back after being fired by nbc over his derogatory comments about mexicans. >> and during the kickoff for his presidential campaign, trump said some immigrants bring crime and drugs to this country and some are rapists. trump not only stands by those statements but now he's threatening to sue nbc.

>> they didn't want me to run because they wanted to do "the apprentice." now with my statements on immigration, which happen to be correct, they are going to take a different stance. >> that's not it. retail giant macy's now being pressured to cut its ties with trump. turning to a health alert now involving citrus fruits and skin cancer. researchers found that people who ate 1 1/2 servings of citrus fruit or juice every day had a 36% higher chance of developing melanoma, a deadly form of skin cancer. the link may be a chemical in citrus that makes skin more sensitive to sunlight. but they say it's way too early to eliminate those fruits from your diet. >> thank god. i'm a florida girl. i love my orange juice. now, a wild story from remote northern california. a mother giving birth while stranded and completely alone. amber pangborn went into labor while driving. so she tried to get to her parents' house then the problems started. she had no cell phone service, the car was out of gas so she gave birth right there. that's right, in the middle of

the national forest. she says she had very little water and only four apples for the next three days. >> and i was crying, like i was just so happy because i thought we were going to die. like i was just so glad that someone finally seen us and like we were going to be okay. >> that was only after she started a fire which drew the attention of the forest rangers. amber and her daughter marisa spent a couple of days being treated in the hospital. well, turning to another incident now to show you. this one from south florida. it looks like a movie stunt. check it out. you've seen this in some movie, right? the drawbridge going up. the car goes before the bridge goes all the way up. well, this is not a stunt. this is for real. palm beach police cited the 29-year-old man who was driving, cited him for distracted driving. he told the police he didn't see the bridge arms going up. police believe he was adjusting his gps instead of watching the road. well, it is a big night for the u.s. women's soccer team. that's right, as they take on germany for a spot in the women's world cup final. >> the ladies working out

fifth inning, young is up again. hits it to roughly the same spot. but they hadn't taken trout out of the game. he does that twice. hit the homer and the angels beat the yankees, 4-1. >> so trout with his 20th. let's check out the dodgers and diamondbacks. top four, dodgers up 3-0. it's joc pederson with his 20th. he's got seven this month. a solo shot for pederson. dodgers up, 4-0. that one 460 feet. don't ask us how we know. we just know. bottom eight, game tied at 6. runner on first. castillo ending a whole lot of frustration for the diamondbacks. they lost seven straight against the dodgers. they go up, 7-6. here they tack on three more and they finally beat l.a., 10-6, the final in that one. and in other news, marshawn lynch jumped into a pile of skittles on "conan," and i was edited twice for innuendo. >> that's all we got, back to you. >> okay. >> ah. we should have gotten those takes. >> skittles. skittles does it every time.
