he's based at the rocky mountain research center in missoula a, montana. this is the hard data that you guys bring in from the field. >> yes. >> what is the end goal of this? >> the end goal of this is to help us to design simulations but we didn't know until we set this parameter. how hot does the fire need to be? these measurements help us so we are accurately simulating what's happening in real conditions. >> led by the u.s. forest service, they are committed to understanding fire behavior through countless controlled burns and deployments, new safety models and tools are constantly being created. >> so in theory, that little circuit board on the front of on. >> this test is to improve the sensors on the fireproof cameras that recorded these dramatic images the burn. >> we need more measure in the meantime, slope and wind. >> that's difficult because there are safety issues. we have to get out in front of the fire, put this equipment out and then walk away, but naturally, it's dangerous >>. >> the ultimate goal is to come up with better information that

we've got coal trains going through missoula. coal train is $300000 of revenue to montana. 24% of the oil production tax goes to k-12. if we want the schools in montana which we should have, roads, highways, infrastructure, sewer system how are we going to do it? we have to use energy resources wisely, which we can't. we don't have to take north dakota as a model of excellence. we can do it better in montana but we need to develop resources wisely and we need to develop for now. we can be energy independent for five years, so let's do it. >> or rail lines -- or rail lines are already crazy busy for lack of better terms. we are already pushing for oil and coal and we are pushing wheat off of our rail lines with these two export terminals heading to the west coast. how are we going to handle it and what are you going to tell communities? zinke: well, i did talk to i did have to not rose from the of north santa fe railroad. it is an issue that we need to build pipelines. the keystone pipeline is one of many.

patrick hospital in missoula, montana, with their existing staff. these four units can handle a total of 11 patients. is that enough? today the director of the national institutes of health said no, it's not. she is with the nyu school of medicine. she agrees. he's also assistant professor of anesthesiology. i want you to almost talk to each other at some point. i think that's important. first of all, 11 beds. not enough. >> well, that's definitely not enough if we're talking about a potential ebola outbreak. i don't mean to make people worry. the thing is, that doesn't even mean we can definitely handle those 11 patients at the same time. it just means we feel confident we can treat and isolate them. the other thing to think about is the space and the staffing. i think it would make more sense to develop the bio containment units at those hospitals. there are a limited number of hospitals. i don't think every hospital should build all these units. part of the reason is the staffing. at these hospitals, the staff is prepared to take care of the pati

three in missoula, montana, and the nebraska medical center, they have ten beds.n that is deceiving, anderson, because the detective said his staff could only realistically handle no more than two ebola patients at a time. that is because of the danger, the staffing, and the waste needed to be handled carefully when you treat any ebola patient. >> so realistically, we're talking about 11 beds in the entire country out of all four of the units. >> yes, exactly right, 11 beds for the entire country. >> i mean, that is surprising to me, certainly. you have been reporting since last week that even though other hospitals may have isolation rooms to handle the patients they really wouldn't feel comfortable accepting them, is that correct? >> yes, they would not admit that on camera, but the hospitals around the country are scrambling to figure out what to do and the changing policies in the cdc are not helping. they're calling on infectious disease experts rushing to the hospitals trying to review the emergency procedures. a lot of the hospitals are not sure they're rea

the other hospitals you can see for yourself on the map, you have missoula, montana, omaha, nebraska bethese darks maryland. that's just 18 of these special beds to treat potential ebola patients. let me bring in cnn senior investigative correspondent drew griffin. you've been looking into this. hopefully we won't have to use 18 beds here but the practical reality, it's actually fewer than 18. explain. >> reporter: because the director of that center, the nebraska medical center in omaha said realistically, brooke, we can only handle two patients. so they handle other things or are prepared to handle other things but ebola is so labor intensive. add it all up, we got ten beds nationwide. but that's been enough so far and would have been enough so far had we not had this problem in dallas erupt. the fact of the matter is we haven't had a real widespread outbreak, god forbid this is a widespread outbreak because we're not ready to handle that. >> could they become ready? could they add more of these biocontainment unit, add more personnel if need be? >> here's the situation. many hospi

patrick's hospital in missoula, if you have a known ebola patient, this is where they're sent.blem is what do you do with people just walking into their nearest hospital as was the case in dallas? that's the emergency this country seems to be unprepared for and all the experts we've talked to say that's what needs to be addressed. what is the plan in your hospital if somebody walks in off the street? are you equipped or not to handle this? do you have the proper procedures in place to handle this? anderson? >> that's why the case here in dallas is so concerning and raising so many questions about how prepared hospitals are to deal with this kind -- but just to be clear, that waste from thomas duncan's apartment, it's been incinerated, so it cannot spread the virus. my understanding is even if it hadn't been incinerated, the virus doesn't live forever on its own. ultimately it becomes inert, correct? >> right, well, i'm not a doctor and i'm not a scientist but the doctors and the scientists, they ul have been saying that this virus does not live long outside the body. it's not l

i just wanted to say i was born in missoula and traveled back and forth across the country four times the train. do you think it should or will be fixed or revived in the u.s. at all? >> that really depends on the price of oil, frankly. certainly, amtrak, the national passenger rail corporation, the quasi-federal entity that runs the show now, they are trapped in a hopeless situation because congress keeps asking, well, why aren't you making any money, and they can only shrug, and part of the reason is because, of course, low ridership, and the other reason is it's very difficult to make money doing this. other national systems like british rail, the scnf in france, excuse me, sncf, they're subsidized to a huge degree by their respective governments. and so congress by continuing to demand, you know, these totally unreasonable explanations from amtrak while refusing to actually pay for quality passenger service means, you know, we're going to be the this way for a while. i don't think it's ever going to go away simply because it is so useful, particularly in the northeast or corridor.
