can to contain a wildfire that is burning in southern california. even the crowded highways aren't safe from these flames. >> dozens of people were trapped on the highway as the fire jumped the road, burning cars and trucks in its path. news4's chris lawrence has been watching this thing all evening. he joins us now from the live desk. chris? >> yeah doreen. in one minute these people were driving past this brushfire. the next, an inferno was right on top of them. how tear a tieing it was as black smoke and fire swallowed up a good part of the highway and forced all these people to abandon their cars. the 15 freeway is the main road to las vegas. and there had to be at least 70 cars trucks tractor-trailers on the road when that wildfire jumped the line. firefighters were urging people to stay in their vehicles so they wouldn't be hurt because the helicopters are dropping huge amounts of fire retardant. but we saw a lot of people get out of burning cars cover their faces and start walking away from the flames. traffic was paralyzed in both directions, and even veteran officers say they have never seen anything like this. so far, this fire has burned well over 3500 acres and destroyed at least five homes some of which burned in the last hour or two. right now it's threatening about 50 buildings in a rural community just outside los angeles. now this fire destroyed about

street, just north of rhode island avenue. shomari, what are you learning? >> well, jim, i'm here on the 600 block of edgewood street. you ask what am i learning? sources within the metropolitan police department tell me that one of the three men three victims has died and that at least one of them is also -- they're also saying that they were possibly arguing over a dice game which led up to this shooting. let me move out the way you can see crime scene investigators are here. it's an active scene. police have shut down the street. let's roll some video right now. and sources say they were possibly arguing over a dice game, which led up to the shooting. this happened behind an apartment building. and when we first arrived on the scene, detectives had their flashlights searching for shell casings. at least two dozen shots were fired. they moved us back further away and extended the crime scene because that gives them more of geographic location to search for more shell casings within this criminal case. and police begin, we don't know if they are searching for a shooter right now. again they believe that the motive is a possible dice game. if you have any information, call the metropolitan police department. live in northeast d.c., i'm shomari stone. back to you in the studio. >> thanks, shomari. after a solemn -- after a solemn 700-mile trip, part of it through our

reporter: nothing can tell you more about the hidden dangers of this river than the young woman we talked to tonight. when we see images like these, rescues from the potomac river, many assume the person couldn't swim or fell in near the rapids. it's often a mistaken assumption. >> it's the k think will never happen to you but it does. >> reporter: a college rower and a strong swimmer. on memorial day weekend last year, she was splashing around with friends in a placid looking stretch of the potomac south of great falls when something she did not think could happen did happen. >> i got carried out by the current. ended up in rapids. realized i went over the -- went over the mini dam. i'm so thankful that the kid who jumped in to get me, we didn't know each other. he was complete strangers. he jumped in to get me. we're still friends now. >> reporter: a police helicopter helped rescue the two exhausted swimmers. >> do you see him over there? >> reporter: u.s. park police officers patrol this park with the mission of stopping a rescue before it becomes necessary. they know the vast majority of drowning victims here are between 18 and 25 and think it won't happen to them. >> they'll get out of the water when they see us. but unfortunately it will give them warnings. and at times they'll go right back in when we leave. >> reporter: they patrol in an atv. and if you're wearing a swimsuit, they will probably talk to you. >> you guys didn't come here to swim did you? >> no. >> reporter: park police lieutenant jerry marshall says his officers are making more warning contacts than ever, but park visitors, especially young people are still getting in the river. >> in 2014, there were 130 search-and-rescue missions and saves. eight of those were by hoist rescues. that's taking a basket down getting folks in the basket and bringing them up. this year alone we've had 33 already. >> reporter: now these signs aren't here because the park service doesn't want people to have fun. they're here because they want people to leave alive. jackie bensen, news4. >> boy, don't take a risk. we have so many public pools and other places to cool down around here. don't do it. it's dangerous. so it's going to be fierce. >> it really is over the next few days. we've had a couple of heatwaves so far. but i think this one will be the hottest that we've seen. especially on sunday into monday. even tomorrow it's going to be on the hot side. after today a beautiful afternoon. we saw high temperature only in the low 80s in most locations. and right now, we're still seeing that 80 degrees. winds right now out of the south at 9 miles per hour. take a look at the impact forecast for tomorrow. again, tomorrow, the impact well, it's going to be moderate to high. hot and humid. heat index close to 100. a few afternoon thunderstorms. any storms that develop tomorrow could be on the strong side. so that's something else that just to consider as you make your way out and about during the afternoon tomorrow. nothing around our region right now. but look what is going on back to our west. we are watching showers and storms around cincinnati, parts of kentucky, and chicago. we may see some move into our area early tomorrow morning. here is future weather. around 9:00 a.m. notice shower activity around 8:00, 9:00 10:00 in the morning. we may actually start off with some showers. and then watch what happens. around noon, no problems here. we start to see a few showers back to the west. but most of the afternoon early afternoon is dry. but then we start to see some storms develop around 3:00, back towards the mountains. and make their way in and around the i-95 corridor. once again some of the storms, any storms that develop could be on the strong side. what is going to be the biggest threat as they move out around 8:00, 9:00? the biggest threat tomorrow is going to be the chance for some high winds and maybe some heavy rain. hail possibly. but we're not expecting anything too big. i'm not expecting a severe weather day. tomorrow is not a weather alert day because of storms. i just don't think there is going to be all that many of them. however, weather alert day coming for the next couple of days. tomorrow hot and humid. if you're going to the pool you're going to need to cool off from the hot and humid weather. but if you hear thunder, make sure you get out of the pool right away. any time there is lightning or thunder, most likely it will close the pool downey way. but make sure if you're at your own house, you watch out for that. tracking the heat here is the heat. high pressure down to the south. the heat has been back to the west over the last few days. over the next couple of days, the hot weather the dome of really hot air comes right over our region all the way up towards the philadelphia and new york areas. as it makes its way in here, today was on the pleasant side. tomorrow morning it will start off sticky. but by tomorrow afternoon, we're talking about oppressive heat indices. and that heat index over 100 degrees tomorrow. that's why we have on sunday and monday, we're calling them a weather alert days. chuck bell will be in tomorrow morning and amelia segal. talk much more about the heat. sunday and monday 97 on sunday. 95 degrees on monday. i think sunday will be the hottest. the heat index could be 105 to potentially up to 110 in some locations. same deal on monday with a high temperature of 95 degrees. and right now tuesday is a question mark. if we have a cold front move far enough south we may only be in the upper 80s. but still, right now i've got us at 90 degrees with a good chance of storms on tuesday. wednesday, thursday and friday we also are at or above 90 degrees. so get ready. the heat is on. >> inflate the pool. >> exactly. >> thank you, doug. meanwhile hot under the collar, frustration for nats players and fans out there at the park tonight. forced to leave the field three times because of problems with a light bank. >> dave johnson's got that next. but first, jimmy fallon. >> thanks, guys. ryan seacrest is my guest tonight. plus we have trevor this is the xfinity sports desk, brought to you by xfinity, your home for the most live sports. >> game to be continued around 2:00. what doug says about 130 degrees. >> about 130. >> weather related. >> and the thing is we can connect with pluto. we did that this week right? we just can't turn on the lights in baseball. what is going on with this world right now? ah when the lights go down in the city and the sun shines on the bay, the classic rock band journey gave us that lyric there is no bay in our nation's capital. only a river by a baseball stadium where the lights did go down, right smack in the middle of a potential play-off preview between the nationals and dodgers. talk about bad timing because bryce harper and company, they were back from the break and ready the take on the best in the west. in the top of the fourth, the dodger, adrian gonzalez, showed his best when he tagged jordan zimmermann for a two-run homer. all right. that's a little bit of trouble. but then more trouble. because you see in the bottom of the fourth, in this game, a bank of lights on the third baseline go out at 8:19, if you're scoring at home. an hour and 22-minute delay. more trouble. the lights went out at 9:50. a 40-minute delay. the fans are doing their part, trying help. play resumes at 10:30. the bottom of the fifth, escobar on the second pitch of the fifth inning. now we have baseball. now we have lights. it's going it's gone. the nats with a 3-2 lead. but you know in baseball, what is it? three strikes, you're out. 10:42 the lights went out again. that's enough. game suspended with the nats leading 3-2. the game will be resumed at 2:05 tomorrow with the dodgers batting in the top of the sixth. the final time and easy decision. >> unforeseen circumstances. you know, you never know with baseball. so after the second one, we knew that we weren't going to do it again. so the fact that it happened three times, we just -- we don't know exactly why. so they're troubleshooting it now. and hopefully have it done by tomorrow so there is no more issue. >> they don't want to do it again. the definition of insanity, doing the same thing over and over again. the orioles visiting the tigers. 0 for 22 until the second. man on the corners for jonathan scope. takes to it right. that brings in khris davis. man on for khris davis. that's got to be gone, right? you've got to be kidding me. jd martinez comes up third time in nine games khris davis has had a homer taken away. who is counting? he leads the majors in heartbreak. anibal sanchez loving that. two on for jose iglesias. no chance of robbing this. three-run shot to left. the tigers go on to win it, 7-3. now the orioles a game below .500. all right. so the british open st. andrews. >> ew. >> yes, they were under water. except he loved this, the seagull. three hour and 14 minute rain delay. dustin johnson looking good on dry land a leader at 10 under. will finish his round tomorrow. now, this was an emotional time. five-time open champion tom watson saying goodbye to st. andrews, playing his last british open. a terrific ovation. his son was caddieing for him. watson bids farewell, the round though, of course suspended because of darkness. that's our theme tonight. so a lot of golf has to be played tomorrow. i should have done this sportscast in the dark. >> a lot of people suspicious about what taylor swift and her crew did to our lights. >> it's all over and at least our broadcast. we're going to fade to black dim the lights. >> in honor of the nats. we know that they needed. yeah, we got it. ♪ >>
