started by an unattended candle on a houseboat. watch this cell phone video showing the dock going up in flames. >> candle fires are very dangerous. any time they get close to normal household objects like bedding, furniture, curtains, the fire is going to ignite and spread very quickly. >> reporter: nationwide more than 9,000 home fires are started by candles every year resulting in on average 86 deaths and 374 million in direct property damages. this video made by underwriters laboratories shows how a fire started by a candle quickly spreads to the curtains then engulfs the entire room in flames all in less than ten minutes. ul showed abc's matt gutman just how fast another fire, this time started by a blanket tossed onto a candle can spread. >> all right. we're breathing smoke. >> reporter: the fire fueled by a room filled with petroleum-based products like the cushion stuffing and wide screen tv which ul says can burn

up to six types faster than natural materials and every second counts because ul's research shows you have just three minutes to get out. so what can you and your family do to stay safe? >> most candle fires happen because people put them too close to normal household items. >> reporter: experts say keep them a foot away from other objects. keep loose clothing and hair away and never leave a burning candle unattended. and luckily our firefighter brian is standing by here. he'll be able to put this fire out literally in just a couple of seconds but you can imagine if this was your home with all those synthetic materials we have, how quickly things will go up in flames. the number one thing they say to remember never leave a candle n unattended. back to you guys. >> alex, thank you very much. we were just talking amongst ourselves saying that sometimes you just -- >> so easy to do. >> so easy to do. >> so fast. >> we saw that with alex. coming up, amazon founder jeff bezos conquering new

after a dvt blood clot.mind when i got out of the hospital what about my family? my li'l buddy? and what if this happened again? i was given warfarin in the hospital but i wondered if this was the right treatment for me. then my doctor told me about eliquis. eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots and reduces the risk of them happening again. not only does eliquis treat dvt and pe blood clots, but eliquis also had significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. knowing eliquis had both... turned around my thinking. don't stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. if you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily... and it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop.

seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. eliquis treats dvt & pe blood clots. plus had less major bleeding. both made switching to eliquis right for me. ask your doctor if it's right for you. your loving touch stimulates his senses and nurtures his mind.

brought it back and landed it at the launch site. this is a big game changer because it totally changes the economics of space travel. when you throw a rocket away, an expendable rocket, you use it once and throw away all that expensive space hardware. it would be like taking -- getting in your 747, flying across the country and then throwing it away. just using it one time. imagine how expensive traveling would be. >> i would never do that with my 747. >> yeah, yeah, you know, i usually keep my 747 for as long as i can keep it but so your website -- >> you definitely want to reuse those. >> and your website actually teased some information about a window seat and space travel. is that something that you could possibly be planning? >> yes, so we're -- right now we're -- you know, we just flew this vehicle successfully. we're going to -- this is the beginning of a long and very

deliberate test program where we're going to fly the vehicle, many, many times and then when we're completely confident in it we'll start using it to take people up into space. that should take another couple of years. >> wow. now, do you want to go to space one day? it's one thing to launch the rocket successfully have it land and space travel -- >> absolutely. you know it. absolutely. i've wanted to do that since i was a 5-year-old boy. it's a passion. it's deep in my heart. >> and what else? is there anything else about this launch that really may -- >> by the way, you guys are invited if you want to come. >> whoa. >> we'll go up. >> how many takers on that offer? >> i'll do it. >> you going to go. >> good for you. >> i'm a coach guy myself. >> i get window seat. >> why wouldn't you -- i -- at first i was thinking, no, but you're right, jeff. it's a great adventure and you'll -- >> i still haven't seen the grand canyon.

>> well, i tell you what, hey, jeff, jeff, thank you, congratulations and it really is amazing to take a rocket up and bring it back down. >> good for you. >> we'll take you up on that offer.

welcome back. we have a story that surprised

us. a third grader diagnosed with breast cancer. chrissy has a very rare form of the disease and dr. jennifer ashton has her story. >> she's an enthusiastic artist. and a loving little sister. >> hi. >> reporter: now 8-year-old christie turner is fighting a devastating disease normally only faced by adults. >> i was kind of scared to kind of figure out what it was. >> reporter: in october chrissy came to her parents with a lump in her chest. after a series of tests doctors diagnosed a rare form of breast cancer called secretory carcinoma, the findings, a huge blow to the whole family. >> i was in shock. no child should ever have to go through cancer. and then it hits your family. it hits your little one. i'm sorry. it's devastating. >> it's been really hard emotionally, mentally everyone has been broken down. >> reporter: secretory carcinoma

accounts for less than 0.15% of breast cancers and is the rarest form of the disease. dr. brian booker is part of the team treating her. >> reporter: chrissy had to undergo a simple mastectomy to represent it from coming back. >> reporter: they're no stranger to cancer. mom a cervical cancer survivor and dad was diagnosed with non-hodgkin's liymphoma in 2008. chrissy's cancer is a shock. >> we're going to fight it for a family and be there for you no matter what. >> reporter: yet chrissy still remains positive. >> i hope that i fight it off. >> and dr. ashton joins us now. chrissy is clearly a fighter, thank goodness this is treatable. >> yeah, and it's incredibly rare, george. that's the take home message. they're isolated reports in the literature. youngest patient with this just 3 years old, the oldest, 87.

generally the prognosis is good. >> so we can't emphasize it enough, very rare but it's going to frighten a lot of parents. what thud they pay attention to. >> when you talk about breast development in a young girl there are a couple of things the parents should know about. any dramatic changes in the breast or breast development before the age of 8. the key thing is change in one breast versus the other. that would be a concerning sign but, remember, there are other things that affect the breast that aren't cancer, trauma, infection, benign criysts. breast ultrasound and generally a referral to a breast specialist but those are the overall warnings. >> very, very rare. >> it's incredibly rare. we send her our best. >> jen ashton, thanks very much. over to michael. all right, thanks, george. part one of the epic "dancing with the stars" two-night finale kicked off with a big bang last night. last night the remaining four couples put it all on the line hoping to take home that mirrorball but only three remain. >> here we go, one, two, one,

two, three. >> reporter: the final four, showing off their fantastic freestyles monday night. ♪ >> reporter: but it was bindi irwin versus the backstreet boy. ♪ hey. >> reporter: tied at the top of the leaderboard that had everyone talking. ♪ >> reporter: nick carter's "larger than life" freestyle. >> the most incredible freaking awesome backstreet boy. >> reporter: and bindi irwin with a show-stopping quick step. >> you my dear are the energizer bunny. >> reporter: her freestyle dance bringing the audience to tears with an emotional tribute to her dad. >> you touched everybody's soul. >> this entire experience has changed my life so thank you, thank you so much. >> reporter: our cameras behind the scenes exclusively ahead of tonight's big finale. >> we're going to fight. for me, you know, it's always been about my partners. >> reporter: in the end, the ballroom journey coming to a close for carlos penavega, now the stakes higher than ever.

will the mirrorball go to alek, bindi irwin or nick? we asked our audience online which "dancing with the stars" celebrity do you want to win the mirrorball trophy? 70% are rooting for bindi and derek and now we are joined by "dancing with the stars" season 18 finalist and co-host of "the view" candace cameron bure. and we saw what the audience, they think -- they want bindi irwin to win. do you have anyone you want to win? >> i'm on the audience's side. bindi just -- she grabbed my heart this year and i think she's definitely the front-runner. i think she has it in the bag. i i think america loves her and pulled on everyone's heart strings and saw her journey and she's like the nicest person in the world. >> and you know like a showstopping moment because she didn't know the picture of her dad was going to show up. what did you think about that? i thought that was really sweet. >> i saw her get so emotional. sometimes when you're in the

dance and in the moment of that audience it can be overwhelming but there was something more to it than that and realizing after that it was because she didn't know that picture was going to go up. it just made sense and you felt it even more. >> and the judges called aalek' freestyle a dance for the ands? were you surprised by the freestyle. >> yeah -- well, i was surprised he was even in the finals. i was so exted. i didn't think he would get to the finals. he was kind of in my mind the meat of my season like -- yes. i think he's done an amazing job and i was -- i'm so happy that he made it and i definitely think his freestyle was one that i'll remember forever. no one has done it like an army obstacle course. >> nick brought back a little bit of the backstreet boys. big backstreet boys fan. >> me too. >> what did you think about his. >> listen, the guy knows how to move. i think he was great. i want a little bit more from nick even though he killed his

routine but, you know, bindi, she stole my heart. >> and carlos made it a family affa affair, brought out his wife, something we've never seen before. >> and paula deen and a couple of the other contestants from the show that season and that, i think, is the heart of carlos. i loved what he did and he killed his routine, as well. he did such a good job and i love the connection that he had with his wife and he said even their relationship grew on the show because you can see because of the competition and could end strife or a bigger connection. >> i'm sure if there was strife at home he wouldn't have it on the show. part two of the dancing finale tons and all the finalists are here tomorrow for tomorrow's ballroom bash. "dancing with the stars" will return for its 22nd season next year on monday, march 21st. don't miss candace on the hallmark channel's movie "a christmas detour." make sure you watch that. back to you, robin. >> thank you, michael. i have a dance partner right

here, jet you know it's been 40 years since rocky won the oscar for best picture. now sylvester stone is getting back in the ring, generating oscar buzz again in one of the biggest movies of this fall, this time around, you know what, jet, he's a trainer. he's helping a young boxer prepare for the biggest fight of his life in "creed." >> because i said to myself, if i break i'm hurt, whatever i ain't going to fix it. why bother. >> i'm just some bum living in your career, there's nothing. >> you're a good kid. a good fighter. but you got your whole future ahead of you. mi mine, it's back there like all them guys on that wall. in the back. in the past. >> yeah, still got it. still got it. i loved all the "rocky" s and this one too. watched it the other night "creed" and seems like the natural evolution for "rocky."

>> what made it so extraordinary because of this journey that rocky takes, it was presented by a man in his late 20s or 27 years old, who just became fixated on extending the story but also bringing in a new character, creed who can speak to what's happening today more like the millennials whereas rocky was the voice of the '70s and '80s, this fellow is speaking about the problems and issues that face younger people today. >> and so let's bring people up to speed, creed, of course is the son of -- >> apollo creed who is my friend, mentor and the fellow who changed my life so he became kind of an idolized object to me. i said i've always revered him then he died because of me in "rocky i 4" so i live in this regret and a son appears just at a particular time when rocky has

sort of given up on life. >> michael b. jordan. >> yeah. >> tell us about what it was like working with this young man. does he have it. >> yeah, he does have it and that's why i think he's going to go on and be a force in this industry because people are interested in watching him. >> i want to show a picture of you with the greatest of all time, muhammad ali. >> of course. >> and you've always said there's just something -- what is it about boxing and something that you were drawn to with that. >> two things i think, speed and fighting. in other words, racing, we're always racing against time in one sense or another and i think when you see it portrayed metaphorically or symbolically and see a fighter like ali or someone you embrace the whole because it's more than just a fight. it's touching you on a level that you may not even be aware of subconsciously. >> that's a wonderful thing. your beautiful family. >> oh, my god. >> and your daughter modeling. i know you're proud of all your children. >> i am. every one of them are beautiful

and every one has a special ability and sofia is in usc. and sistine trying to make her own name. >> much like this guy was trying to make his own name. well, you deserve every blessing coming your way. thank you so much. >> always great to be here, seriously. >> you know what, he was here yesterday, sly and he took a picture with the crew always doing this thing, you know, do the rocky thing, took picture after picture after picture. one of the great guys and, "creed," you saw it too. >> michael b. jordan, also, a great, great guy. just so personalable and the movie is awesome. >> can't wait to see it. >> me too. >> you can wait until tomorrow because "creed" opens in theaters tomorrow. but amy and i already got the chance. >> yeah. >> outside to ginger. >> oh, robin, at first have to say thanks to millie. katie is helping me out holding my mike. let's talk about the forecast. especially in the west.
