Giant sequoias in danger from Yosemite fire - Magical Realist - Jul 10, 2022 https://wildfiretoday.com/2022/07/08/fire-burns-into-another-giant-sequoia-grove-this-time-in-yosemite-national-park/ "Approximately 155 acres of the fire has burned into the west side of the 1,300-acre Mariposa giant sequoia grove. The Park Service has been conducting prescribed fires within the grove for years, including about seven since 1999. This should slow the spread in the grove and reduce the fire intensity compared to other locations that do not have similar recent fire history. It remains to be seen how much sequoia mortality will occur under the present low fuel moistures and “exceptional drought” conditions."
