The KNP Complex Fire continues to burn out of control in Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Park in Central California. It ignited more than a week ago and remains 0% contained as of this morning. But there is some good news: Firefighters have saved the four famous sequoia trees (The Four Guardsmen) that mark the entrance to the Giant Forest. General Sherman — thought to be the largest tree in the world — is also still standing. However, the fate of other sequoia groves near the park is unknown.
