ABC News’ Ginger Zee has the latest on the wildfires burning in California, prompting new evacuations.SEQUOIA NATIONAL PARK, Calif. -- Sequoia National Park was shut down and its namesake gigantic trees were potentially threatened Tuesday as two forest fires burned in steep and dangerous terrain in California’s Sierra Nevada.
“There’s no imminent threat to Giant Forest but that is a potential,” said Mark Ruggiero, fire information officer for Sequoia and Kings Canyon national parks. All park facilities were already closed and wilderness trailhead permits had been canceled. The Silver City retreat and the summer cabins of Cabin Cove were under evacuation orders. Part of the community of Three Rivers outside the park entrance was under an evacuation warning.The potential threat to the giant sequoias came just a year after a disastrous complex of fires in the same region.
Giant sequoias are closely related to the towering, slender redwoods that grow along the Northern California coast and have the same relationship with fire.
