At least 90% of condors on the central California coast survived a wildfire that tore through their forest range and destroyed a sanctuary for the endangered birds, a wildlife group said on Wednesday.

Cooler temperatures for a second straight day helped firefighters battle the largest blazes, as state wildfire authority Cal Fire reported 1,700 houses and other structures burned in fires that have killed seven people. As biologists hunted for signals from the condors’ radio transmitters, fire authorities began going through burned communities to quantify the number of homes destroyed.

“I have one remaining picture of my parents,” said Miller, 31, who stuffed the photograph in a backpack as he fled the fire that burned his studio in Brookdale, one of 538 homes and structures destroyed in the Santa Cruz mountains fire. “This is again another testament, a demonstrable example of the reality, not just the assertion, the reality of climate change in this state,” he said.

Redwoods survive wildfire at California's oldest state parkWhen a massive wildfire swept through California’s oldest state park last week it was feared many trees in a grove of old-growth redwoods — some 2,000 years old and among the tallest living things on Earth — may have finally succumbed Redwoods are built to survive incredible temperatures. That's why they're so huge and have flammable outer bark. I like trees. Peace of mind is probably a push. Jesus does that...or, Prozac the mighty Buddha, hey...I get it...trees be like chill too. Redwoods are evolved to survive forest fires. The frigging sequoia species REQUIRES fire to come to seed
