Authorities Wrapped Giant Sequoias in Fire-Resistant Wraps to Protect them from the Colony Fire

In an attempt to protect a grove of giant old-growth sequoias from wildfires blazing with California's rocky Sierra Nevada, firefighters covered the base of the world's largest tree in a fire-resistant blanket.

This week, the park was forced to evacuate due to the flames, and portions of Three Rivers beyond the main entrance were still evacuated on Thursday. Between the fire and the neighborhood, a bulldozer was carving a line.

The flames are the most recent in a lengthy summer of fires that have burnt almost 9,195 square kilometers of California, damaging hundreds of houses.
