YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK, Calif. (AP) A wildfire threatening the largest grove of giant sequoias in Yosemite National Park more than doubled in size in a day, and firefighters were working in difficult terrain Sunday to protect the iconic trees and a small mountain town as the U.S.
While officials say that the giant sequoias in Yosemite National Park will likely survive this fire, experts warn more must be done to protect these trees’ future.
