Officials showed reporters how the famous giant forest in Sequoia National Park was protected from the KNP fire.

The bases of some of the most famous giant trees have been covered with fire-resistant materials. The huge forest contains 2000 redwood trees, including the Sherman tree, the largest in the world by trunk volume.

Ed Christopher, deputy director of the US Fire Department, said the fear of catastrophic fires emanating from this part of the national park has been significantly reduced thanks to a combination of precautions and less fire intensity.

Historic droughts associated with climate change make it even more difficult to combat forest fire elements. In California alone, fire has killed millions of trees. Scientists say climate change has made the West warmer and drier over the past 30 years and will continue to shape the weather more extreme and increase the frequency and destruction of wildfires.

The KNP complex was formed from two fires on September 9. The flames later merged into a single fire and burned over 56 square miles (145 square kilometers). Sequoia and the adjacent Kings Canyon National Park are closed. The fire has not yet been localized.

The Windy Fire is burning nearby, destroying nearly 77 square miles (199 square kilometers) of the Tully River Wildlife Refuge and Sequoia National Forest. It was only 6% contained.

Windy Fire forced the evacuation of small forest settlements. The fire destroyed the fire control structure and the radio transmitting station at the top of the mountain.

The fire passed through several groves of giant sequoias and damaged one of the large trees on the famous 100 Giants Trail.
