william la jeunesse, thank you. >> bill: want to bring in our scuba instructor and mark fuhrman is a to start with you. you've been on this boat five times. give us a sense of what is happening at that time of day on board this boat. >> well, remember, it's the best timeline we have we know the may day call is at 3:30. 3 to 3:15 in the morning. like most people, everyone is asleep. it is not unusual to have everyone asleep, the passengers sleeping down below in the bunk room. it is not unusual to have the crew up in the wheel house asleep and then there is at least one crew member who is assigned to deck watch so there is at least one crew member awake that whole time. just to put this all in your mind this is basically a three-deck boat if you will. the main deck right here in the middle, the wheel house is on top and the bunk room is down below. >> bill: okay. mark fuhrman if you were to lead this investigation, where do you start? what clues do you think are best so far? >> well, bill, i think we always begin with the cause of death. the autopsies will be revealing. some of the bo

william la jeunesse back live in california on what we can expect today. >> bill, that report is goingve us a firsthand account from the only eyewitnesses to this tragedy and how it may have happened. i'm in the largest port between l.a. and san francisco. only 20 miles from the channel islands where the boat sank. the plan was to use a barge to put slings under the hull. bring it to the surface and push it by tug here. the underwater currents were too strong to make that happen last night. we expect the ntsb report at 2:00 eastern today tell us did the smoke alarms work. where did the fire start? did they try to put it out? based on those findings yesterday, the coast guard issued an urgent directive to commercial boats nationwide fishing, tour, dive boats on safety measures, training, to check the power strips, extension cords and lithium batteries on board which some crew believe helped start this fire. the atf national response team is here to investigate the cause and origin and why the fire moved so quick. one theory, a flashover. >> smoke builds up and you get in a confined area

fox news william la jeunesse with more. what are we looking at, neil?ter: neil automakers said moments ago they would review the waiver denial but not necessarily endorse it. two things, the car you buy in ohio will meet same standard as one you buy in california. if you move here you won't pay a penalty. carmakers will likely continue selling large suvs and trucks that are most popular with buyers. longer term expect a legal fight over states rights that could go to the supreme court. secondly, this will be a campaign issue if voters elect a democrat unlikely they would defend a trump policy in court. >> not only is the president's going against the people of california who made this decision, he is also going against the auto manufacturers and the very car industry that he purports to be helping with this action. reporter: so in essence this is a fight of over how far your car travels on a gallon of gas. under the obama waiver a vehicle fleet must average 54 miles per gallon by 2025. trump is proposing to freeze that at 37 miles per gallon per year. s

william la jeunesse is live in santa barbara this morning. e investigations underway now. one by the sheriff on the criminal side. the coast guard and the ntsb which will provide an initial report within 10 days on the crews' response as well as the fire and any mistakes and malfunctions. two boats behind me. the closest one is an identical copy to the boat that sank. the ntsb has 16 experts here and use it as a guy or model to piece together what they hear from the crew and the first responders. you'll notice on the top deck is where the crew slept and was apparently awake when the fire broke out around 3:30. the second deck is the galley, the kitchen as well as the dining area. below deck is where the 33 passengers and one crew member were sleeping. that, of course, is one of the focuses of the ntsb. we have video from the coast guard from a helicopter that was shot around 6:50 in the morning, three hours after this fire began. how did it happen? why did it move so quickly? the boat is a fiberglass-clad wood boat. gas in the generator, propa

william la jeunesse with more on this. >> this is a new reality for the entire state and it is not aboutç equipment. utilities are pre-emotion actively cutting electricity in high-risk areas. now it's sacramento. if they don't shut off power they risk fire and liability. if they do schools closed, no lights, daily life essentially stops. >> i'm not for it. >> i don't think they need to do this. it's an exercise in futility. they're covering themselves. that's not right. >> september, and october is wildfire season. dry brush, high winds, low humidity. officials considering cutting power to three million but cut it back through 30,000 through tomorrow. >> you look, we're cleared back pretty far. the fire burned past that fenceline. we're cleared to the fence. >> don't have a choice. you have to be careful. >> you have to do what you have to do. you want to do it in advance, that's fine. why wait until the fire starts? >> high winds snapped branches power lines arc, sparks ignite fires. to protect shareholders and people they said preemptive blackout is the çbest way to avoid the repeat
