Tree smoulders a year a er fire

Los Angeles – One of California’s iconic giant sequoia trees was recently found to be still smouldering and smoking in an area of the state devastated by massive wildfires last northern summer, National Park authorities said on Wednesday.

“Scientists and fire crews were surveying the effects from the 2020 Castle fire in Sequoia National Park when they observed a still smouldering and smoking giant sequoia tree that appears to be caused from last year’s fire,” the park service said in a statement. –
