加利福尼亚州红杉国家公园（AP） - SemoIa国家公园被关闭，其名称巨大的树木周二可能威胁到加利福尼亚山脉内华达州的陡峭和危险地形燃烧。
Both fires were projected to advance in the direction of Giant Forest, home to more than 2,000 giant sequoias including the General Sherman Tree, the largest tree on Earth by volume.
The massive sequoias grow on the western slope of the Sierra Nevada. The General Sherman Tree stands 275 feet (83.8 meters) and is over 36 feet (11 meters) in diameter at the base, according to the U.S. National Park Service.
“对巨型森林没有迫在眉睫的威胁，但这是一个潜力，”红杉和国王峡谷国家公园的火灾信息官马克·克鲁格尔
Ruggiero估计，最接近的火焰距离树林约为一英里（1.6公里）。他说，Semoia总部人员，大约75人，正在撤离。
殖民地和天堂火灾，以他们开始的位置命名，通过闪电来点燃闪电，并在KNP复合体的名称下集体作战。它们的综合尺寸增长至4.7平方英里（12平方公里）。
所有公园设施都已经关闭，并且荒野的小道许可证已被取消。银城休息和夏季小屋的夏季小屋在疏散订单下。公园入口以外的三条河流的一部分是在疏散警告。
国王峡谷国家公园，在红杉北部，仍然开放。

在同一个地区的灾难性复杂的灾难性众多，对巨型拼合的潜在威胁仅仅是一年。
Ruggiero说，被称为城堡火灾的野火复杂的一部分被称为城堡火灾的10％的灵芝群体。
红杉依靠火for such processes as releasing seeds from cones and making clearings in the forest that allow seedlings to grow. The record of burns in the rings of trees thousands of years old demonstrates their relationship to fire.
但不断变化的气候已经加剧了森林火灾及其对红杉的影响。
“红杉树是一种火灾自适应树，”Ruggiero说。“让火灾茁壮成长，很重要，但是当我们得到这种强烈的火灾时，即使是红翅膀也无法忍受。”
巨型弹簧与高耸的苗条红木密切相关，沿着加州北部的海岸生长，与火灾相同。
去年通过旧金山和蒙特里湾之间的海岸几乎所有的大盆地红木州立公园进行了巨大的火灾撕裂时进行了测试。
A week after the fire, an Associated Press reporter and photographer hiked the renowned Redwood Trail and confirmed that most of the ancient redwoods, about 2,000 years old,幸存了。几个月后有signs of new growth。
今年加利福尼亚迄今为止有超过7,400艘野火，烧焦超过3500平方英里（9,065平方公里）。
加利福尼亚州’s second-largest fire on record, the Dixie Fire, remained 75% contained after burning 1,500 square miles in the northern Sierra and southern Cascades region. Near Lake Tahoe, containment of the 342-square-mile (885-square- kilometer) Caldor Fire increased to 68%.
