Re: Sequoia National Park

I wouldn't worry. I figure a tree three thousand years old has probably survived a few fires. The giant redwood is actually engineered to resist fires, with an almost fireproof bark, and branches hundreds of feet off the ground. Did you think that was to keep deer away? Some redwood seeds actually need fires to germinate properly.
