Fires pushed toward Sequoia National Park, momentarily driving away firefighters as they try to protect the world's tallest tree. It's not yet clear how much damage was done.

These trees have survived many fires in their long lifespan, hopefully they can survive this too.

No ... Please save Trees.

🙏🙏🙏😢😢😢

It’s not the worlds tallest. It’s largest by volume

Terrible fires 🔥

brooklynmarie It's not the world's tallest tree. It's the world's biggest tree. Some coast redwoods are taller; no other tree has so much interior volume

Too bad the 'environment' activists have been successful in disallowing proper forestry management. Because you're all dimbasses with no knowledge of the land, science, or common sense.

The General Sherman Tree in Sequoia NP is the world's largest tree by VOLUME. It is not the tallest tree. Tallest is likely in Redwood National and State Parks, though the tallest there is not advertised to the public to protect it.

Mrs lethica001 i really appreciate your all your efforts with the little startup of R4000 with all joy over me after withdrawing R17,850 you can check my media for testimony i told you i will recommend everyone in South Africa to trade with your team you're the best thank you

I certainly don't want these trees to disappear, they are beautiful, even kinda surreal when you walk among them.. However, this is one of those species of tree in which fire is required to reproduce.

More context

I think general Sherman, the tree they are trying to protect, is the biggest , but not the tallest.

Good news so far just posted

I am praying 🙏

Humanity - come see this
