Four famous giant sequoias were not harmed by a wildfire that reached the edge of Giant Forest in California’s Sequoia National Park.The Four Guardsmen, a group of trees that form a natural entryway on the road to the forest, were successfully protected from the KNP Complex fire by the removal of nearby vegetation and by wrapping fire-resistant material around the bases of the trees, the firefighting management team said in a statement on Sunday.The KNP Complex began as two lightning-sparked fires that eventually merged and has scorched more than 96 square kilometres in the heart of sequoia country on the western slope of the Sierra Nevada.
