Three rivers: The old-scale trees of the Ancient Sequoia National Park Giant Forest were unscasized on Tuesday even though the fire had been burned near them on the west side of Sierra Nevada from California for almost two weeks.
“Until now we have no damage to our trees,” said the Mark Garrett firefight.
Two fire that triggered lightning who joined had spread more than 39 square miles (101 square kilometers), feeding on other types of trees that also live on high height slopes from the mountains.
The giant forest is home to around 2,000 sequoias, including General Sherman trees, which is considered the largest volume in the world and is mandatory for visitors to the National Park.
The fire recently entered the perimeter of the giant forest near a large group of trees called four guards but their bases had been wrapped in fire resistant materials and crews had swept and cleaned the vegetation that could help spread the fire, Garrett said.
The firefight crew is monitored as what is described as “low intensity fire” which is passed and ensures it does not affect Sequoias, he said.
For decades, giant forests have experienced fire which is carefully prescribed and controlled to burn vegetation that can be fuel for fires such as complex KNP and allows it to be established.
The closest grove sequoia is Redwood Canyon, but at least 6 miles (9.6 kilometers) away and the fire must take the field up and down to get there, said Garrett.
“But like a giant forest, that someone also saw burnt care who was prescribed for decades since the late 60s so that Grove was also well equipped to change high intensity fire into low intensity fire,” he said.
To the south, another forest fire in Sequoia’s country showed minimal movement.
Windy fire in the area of ​​a giant Sequoia National Monument from Sequoia National Forest and on the River Tule Reserve India covers more than 42 square miles (108 square kilometers) and 5% contained.
“Fire behavior was not completely like that a few days ago,” Thanh Nguyen, a fire department’s information officer.
In the trail of 100 giants, one tree known as Sequoia “natural bench” because the base form was confirmed to experience some combustion.
Some sequoia groves have been influenced by windy fire but it is not clear whether other SEQUOIA trees have been burned.
Nguyen said the fire could move through the forest by burning the type of tree and other vegetation rather than sequoias and the assessment would come later.
The biggest trees in the trail of 100 giant on average as high as 220 feet (67 meters), a diameter of 20 feet (6.1 meters) and 1,500 years, said Nguyen.
“The trees beloved,” he said.
Firefighters have explored the garden and sprayed water to protect the tree and have worked to protect some of the evacuated communities.
The only missing structure so far is the structure of the appearance of the peak fires, which burned in the early stages of the fire even though it was wrapped in fire resistant material.
More than 7,500 forest fires have scorched around 3,600 square miles (9,324 square kilometers) in California so far this year.
Nearly half of the land – 1,505 square miles (3,898 square kilometers) – burned by Dixie fire in five districts in the North and South Sierra region of Cascades.
This is the second largest fire on records in California and 90% contained after destroying 1,329 homes, businesses, and other structures since July 13.
South Lake Tahoe, Caldor 342-Mile (886 kilometers) Fire three quarters contained after destroying 800 houses and commercial property.
Highway 50, the main route between the San Francisco Bay area and the southern tip of Lake Alpine Resort, opened back to the public on Tuesday for the first time in a few weeks.
Historical droughts related to climate change makes forest fires more difficult to fight for.
It has killed millions of trees in California.
Scientists say climate change has made the West more warmer and more dried in the last 30 years and will continue to make the weather more extreme and forest fires more often and destructive.
