Hundreds of firefighters are trying to stem the tide of the Washburn Wildfire in Yosemite National Park, but high winds are fueling the rapid growth of the flames...and threatening some of the oldest trees in the world.

The trees, some 500 mature giant sequoias, were unable to evacuate along with the 1,600 people — almost all tourists — evacuated from the nearby community of Wawona, Calif., and its campground.

Jennifer Johnson has more on this and many more fires threatening the region.

Tell me if I'm wrong but the big trees that are healthy don't burn. In fact some trees seeds need fire to activate the growth.

Thinking about all the older trees they cut down in the ages ago that were 10s of thousands of years old

Would be nice if a forest fire ripped through the Bohemian Grove next week.
