All right environment. Oh, we're standing in front

00:00:05.230 --> 00:00:08.029
of the General Sherman tree, the largest tree in

00:00:08.029 --> 00:00:10.480
the world and this is one of our most popular

00:00:10.480 --> 00:00:13.630
destinations in Sequoia National Park. What you see behind

00:00:13.630 --> 00:00:16.679
us is the general Sherman tree, covered in fire

00:00:16.679 --> 00:00:20.079
protection wrap, which is what's wrapping it around the

00:00:20.079 --> 00:00:24.030
base to protect the base from fire. You might

00:00:24.030 --> 00:00:35.590
have died. Died. The closest that the KNP

00:00:35.590 --> 00:00:38.009
complex fire got to the General Sherman tree was about

00:00:38.009 --> 00:00:43.359
125 yards and that spot occurred on september 1920 21

00:00:43.840 --> 00:00:45.649
. One of the reasons that the fire didn't get

00:00:45.649 --> 00:00:48.929
any closer was crews were actually quickly and able to

00:00:48.939 --> 00:00:52.060
actually contain that spot fire because of the recent fire

00:00:52.060 --> 00:00:59.289
history within the giant forest. Okay, there's a

00:00:59.289 --> 00:01:02.759
little flame image was some place. Hello, So

00:01:03.439 --> 00:01:06.750
I hardly ever use it. Mhm.
