Good evening. And thank you for joining us on this saturday. Im cecilia vega. We begin with those raging wildfires. Tonight, the danger so high, californias governor declaring a state of emergency. This fire right here, the rocky fire, burning 18,000 acres so far. Flames taller than the homes they threaten. Nearly 9,000 firefighters on the front lines. And now, one of them, a husband and a father, paying the ultimate price. He was killed in the line of duty. 24 fires burning in california alone. But tonight, there are fires burning in eight states across the country. Flames fueled by hot, dry conditions. The forecast in a moment, but first, abcs Kayna Whitworth leads us off from the hot zone. Reporter two dozen large fires now burning across california, sparked by lightning strikes igniting dry ground. Conditions so treacherous, they claimed the life of david ruhl, a 38yearold firefighter who vanished in the flames thursday. He became trapped after the fire changed direction because of the erratic winds. Because of the droughtstricken vegetation accompanied by the steep terrain and winds, were seeing fire activity thats abnormal for this time of year. Reporter dry lightning is the cause of most of these fires. Since thursday, more than 400 lightning strikes reported in three Northern California counties sparking at least 60 small fires in the region. 91,000 acres have burned so far. Thats over 142 square miles, or an area roughly the size of denver. Those nearly 9,000 firefighters are now battling these flames. The biggest fire is the rocky fire near sacramento. Only 5 contained, and has forced at least 650 people to evacuate. Its like being in another world. Its the smells, the embers. I mean, its still burning here. Reporter governor jerry brown declared a state of emergency for california on friday. That means the National Guard has been called in to help firefighting forces already stretched thin. As we look at the amount of fires started due to lightning, we have a long road ahead of us. Reporter with no rain for relief in sight and very dry conditions in california, these fires are burning extra hot. Take a look at this ash thats left over, and its even scorching rocks in its path. Cecilia, these are very dangerous conditions for firefighters. They sure are. Kayna, thank you. Robs here now. Kayna mentioned that dry lightning sparking so many fires. What makes it so dangerous . Reporter its so frustrating, because you get the lightning that starts fires, but gusty winds and you dont get the beneficial rain that can help put out the fires. And heres the setup for that. The big blue dry h in the north. It limits that deep monsoon moisture to the south. Anything that streams up north, really produces the thunderstorms and doesnt produce a whole lot of rain. We have red flag warnings remaining in place across the pacific northwest. Look at the heat. Just dries up any rain that wants to reach the ground. 95 in portland. Weve set all sorts of records for the month of july in both oregon and washington. Thats carrying over for the first weekend of august. In the northern plains, minnesota, the southern half of it potentialdly some damaging winds with that and some lightning, certainly. Chicago in through parts of lower michigan, tomorrow night, i think, is going to be the threat there. Heavy rain across North Central florida today. Tampa seeing over three inches just since this morning and look at that. The future radar shows that rainfall is going to hang over that part of the state right through tomorrow. Meanwhile, miami could use more rain theyre not going to get a whole lot. They sure do need it. Rob, thank you. And next to a threat we have never before seen. A common medical device found in so many hospital rooms could be vulnerable to a cyber attack. The fda warning hospitals, be on alert for hackers. Heres abcs aditi roy. Reporter hospitals across the country receiving an unprecedented warning by the fda tonight, that a commonly used medical device may be at risk of getting hacked. The device has pir ares symbiq Infusion Pump is used to deliver medication ss like painkillers and cancer treatments to patients through an iv. In its warning, the fda says, an unauthorized user with malicious intent could access the pump remotely and modify the dosage it delivers. So, every hospital should assume that its devices, if connected to the internet, can be attacked. And so this its an important warning. This is not an isolated incident. Reporter hospira says it deployed an update to provide customers with an extra layer of security until the pump is completely off the market in a few months. A move already in the works before this warning. This new worry over Health Care Hacks comes just after fiatchrysler issued a voluntary recall of 1. 7 million vehicles to install software to prevent hacking. Kill the engine. Reporter a vulnerability seen in this demonstration video, when hackers took control of this jeep. These two cases, showing how the rewards of technology also come with risks. And the fda says there was no specific hacking attempt that prompted this warning, but still says theres a very reel possibility, cecilia, this could happen. Scary possibility, too. Aditi, thank you. And we turn to politics now. 17 republicans in the race for the white house, and tonight, another democrat maybe on the horizon. Joe biden. While the Vice President has not indicated whether he will run, an adviser tells our jon karl he is quote, 90 in. Biden has said that he would decide by the end of summer. Next to africa and new questions about another famous lion. Jericho, seen here on the left is the brother of cecil, there on the right. Cecil, of course is the lion whose killing by an american dentist last month sparked international outrage. And tonight, there are fears for his brother, too. Here now, abcs fill len mena with the later. Reporter tonight, conflicting reports from zimbabwe that cecils brother, jericho, may have been shot and killed. Jericho protecting cecils cubs after his death one month ago. The news comes as cecil the lions killer, american dr. Walter palmer, faces increasing scrutiny. He hasnt been seen since closing his minnesota dental office five days ago. Protesters now joined by zimbabwes environment minister, calling for dr. Palmer to return there to answer for the killing of its most famous lion. The processes have started and we are looking forward for his extradition. Reporter even if dr. Palmer isnt extradited, experts say a u. S. Law called the lacey act could spell trouble for him here at home. The lacey act allows the Justice Department to bring a criminal prosecution against people who have imported animals that they have taken in violation of a foreign nations law. Imprisonment is a possible penalty. Reporter big game hunting is big business. Just last year, a texas man paid 350,000 to hunt a black rhinoceros in that anybody ya. Money reportedly used for conversation. Authorities in zimbabwe tonight now suspending big game hunting in the area where cecil was killed. Phillip mena, abc news, new york. And now, to some frightening close calls in the air here in new york. Two different flights landing at jfk airport coming within mere feet of drones. Flying where they should not have been. Pilots seeing drones in the sky virtually every day. The risk of colliding with one of them growing, too. Here now, abcs marcy gonzales. Reporter tonight, after two closecalls with drones in the most crowded airspace in the country, aviation experts sounding the alarm. Sooner or later, were going to lose an airplane due to a collision. Reporter friday, a drone spotted just 100 feet below jetblue flight 1834 from portauprince, about to land at new yorks jfk airport. It was a fourbladed drone, but color or direction, im not sure, maam. It just popped right underneath our nose. Reporter just more than two hours later, in the same area again, a drone coming dangerously close. This time to delta flight 407 from orlando on its final approach. What altitude would you say that was . I would say probably about 100 feet below us, just off the right wing. Reporter no one was hurt and investigators dont suspect foul play. But the serious concerns about drones, highlighted again friday by the department of Homeland Security telling Law Enforcement agencies we cannot rule out that ed ated a verve tears in the homeland would be able to use these to support illicit or violent activities. Another potential being carefully watched tonight as the nypd tries to track down whoever was behind the close calls here at jfk. Officials saying finding Drone Operators especially in a crowded city can be incredibly difficult. Cecilia . Marty, marcy, thank you. And another airplane headline tonight. The wing part suspected of belonging to that missing Malaysian Airlines jet is now in a lab for analysis. A team of International Investigators hoping something on that piece of metal may finally reveal what happened to flight 370. Abcs Alex Marquardt reports in from reunion island, where they found that mystery part. Reporter tonight, what could be the key piece of evidence in the disappearance of mh370, now in the hands of investigators after arriving in southern france. Experts confident that the sixfoot long piece of the wing, called the flaperon, that washed up on a beach in the indian ocean, will finally yield some answers as to how the plane went down. They can look at how metal bends. How metal breaks. Theyll be looking for potential explosive witness marks, anything that might show explosive residue. Reporter even before any results come out, officials are increasingly sure this is part of the fatal Malaysian Airlines plane that disappeared 16 months ago without a trace. Its the only 777 unaccounted for, so, it would seem most likely that this is part of that plane. Reporter so far, no other pieces have turned up, and for now, there is no official search around reunion island. The lack of other parts further fuels the leading theory that the plane was brought down deliberately. Almost everybody believes at this point that this was a murdersuicide. Reporter tonight, a Prayer Service was held here by members of the Chinese Community in support of the victims families. We want people to have hope, this man told us. We want to diminish their suffering. And cecilia, were told that a team from boeing, as well as investigators from the National Transportation safety board, will be traveling from the u. S. To france on tuesday to take part in the analysis of that piece of the wing. Truly a global effort to get to the bottom of this mystery. Cecilia . A global effort is right. Alex thank you. And next to Police Officers going undercover on americas roads. Theyre not looking for dangerous drug dealers, but for dangerous drivers, texting behind the wheel. Next time you pull up to a construction worker in a hard hat, look closely. Heres abcs ron claiborne. Reporter in marietta, georgia, a construction worker wanders between cars stopped at a red light. No one pays him any attention. What they dont realize is hes actually a Police Officer looking for people texting in their cars. And he found plenty. The black lexus, black female driver, texting. Holding the phone in his right hand. We can get close enough and almost get into the cars and look down into them and see what people are texting and what theyre doing on their phones. Reporter its a novel way to attack a growing problem. Each year, more than 3,000 people are killed and over 420,000 injured in distracted driver accidents. Impairment is still a problem but this texting is killing just as many people as drunk drivers. Reporter in stamford, connecticut, this officer dressed up in a surveyors hat and helped nab 85 distracted drivers in just one day. And in san bernardino, california, it would have been easy to miss these very plainlyclothed officers even though their signs explained exactly why theyre there.
