KNP Complex Fire

consuming dry fuels before they built up enough to become dangerous. These fires—caused by lightning or intentionally set by native inhabitants—ceased in the 20th century when the U.S. federal government began extinguishing every wildfire as a matter of policy. This practice created elevated fuel loads in forests, including giant sequoia groves. Not until the 1960s was fire reintroduced to some groves. While approximately 30,000 acres (12,000 ha) used to burn naturally and annually in the Sequoia and Kings Canyon parks, as of 2022 the parks burned only around 10,000 acres (4,000 ha) annually in prescribed burns. Much of the KNP Complex Fire footprint had no recent wildfire burn history. A 2023 study identified "old, large-diameter fuels like fallen logs" as the likely culprit for the fire's high intensity after analyzing radiocarbon signatures in samples of the smoke, consistent with prior research demonstrating that fire suppression and the resulting accumulation of fuels have contributed to elevated fire intensities in the Sierra Nevada.

threat to the persistence of large sequoias", according to the Park Service's assessment. During the KNP Complex Fire's lifetime, it reached 16 separate giant sequoia groves, and affected some of them severely. The Park Service assessment reported: "Much of the fire’s growth occurred due to backing and flanking, with short uphill runs. However, in some areas terrain, fuels, and winds aligned to drive high intensity crown runs ranging from tens to hundreds of acres." Thus, while many groves received low-intensity flanking or backing fire producing effects that varied from "unburned" to "low" severity, several were affected by moderate or high severity runs that killed many mature giant sequoias. Studies have shown an 84 percent average mortality rate in old-growth sequoia groves burned at a high severity, and anecdotal evidence has shown that in multiple fires these areas fail to regenerate.

miles (71 km) of the total and Kings Canyon National Park the remaining 18.1 miles (29 km). Nine miles (14 km), representing 20 percent of Sequoia National Park's burned trails, and 7.4 miles (12 km), representing 40 percent of the burned trails in Kings Canyon National Park, were within moderate or high burn severity areas. An additional 6.1 miles (10 km) of trails were used as containment lines along the fire's perimeter, and did not wholly burn. Other impacts included damage to signage throughout the park, including road reflectors, speed limit signs, and posts, and nearly 20,000 potentially hazardous burned trees along roads in the parks.

number of personnel assigned to the fire peaked at over 2,000, and it remained around that level for most of the second week of October. The favorable weather, particularly on the fire's north end, allowed those crews to achieve 20 percent containment of the fire by October 10. Another storm on the night of the 17th brought more than two inches (5.1 cm) of snow to the fire area, slowing fire activity further even as hotshot crews built another contingency line beneath the Giant Forest through the snow. Containment rapidly increased to 60 percent by October 21: with a total burned area of 88,307 acres (35,737 ha), this marked the end of the fire's expansion.
488: 397: 674:. The bill sought to provide $ 350 million over the course of a decade to codify the Giant Sequoia Lands Coalition (an existing partnership between federal, state, tribal and local land managers), create a reforestation plan for groves destroyed by wildfires, and streamline the environmental review process for thinning and removing vegetation from other groves. Legislators working to draft the bill visited some of the worst-affected groves from the KNP Complex Fire in Sequoia National Park in May, prior to its introduction. Despite having 75 co-sponsors in the House, the bill was opposed by 81 environmental groups, including the 1309: 476:
out of the Marble Fork into the Halstead Creek drainage in a 6,500-acre (2,600 ha) "extreme head fire run", according to a National Park Service post-fire assessment, burning the entirety of the Suwanee Grove at almost entirely moderate to high severity. The fire also entered the westernmost edge of the Giant Forest grove for the first time, in the vicinity of the Four Guardsmen trees, but firefighters' protective efforts ensured all four survived. The total burned area reached 17,857 acres (7,226 ha) by September 18 as the complex became one of the highest-priority wildfires in the nation.

killed between 1,330 and 2,380 large sequoias, defined as those over four feet (1.2 metres) in diameter. That figure includes both the sequoias killed outright and those expected to die in the three to five years following the fire. When combined with the estimated large sequoia mortality of 931–1,257 trees from the Windy Fire, the 2021 California wildfire season saw the potential loss of three to five percent of the global population of large giant sequoias. The National Park Service's assessment highlighted an "alarming trend" given the previous mortality from the Castle Fire portion of the 2020
361: 219: 234: 642:, which killed an estimated 10–14 percent of large sequoias (or between 7,500 and 10,600 individual trees). The mortality assessments suggest that in 2020 and 2021, 13–19 percent of the world's large sequoia population was lost in just three large wildfires. Prior to 2020, the total number of large sequoias within the groves of the Sierra Nevada was estimated at 75,580. The total number may have fallen to ~60,000 after the Castle, Windy, and KNP Complex fires. 241: 504:
conifer forests into the grass and oak woodlands closer to the visitors center in the foothills, and leapt past firefighters and their control lines on Paradise Ridge. Burnout operations helped catch the fire in the Mineral King Road and Ash Mountain areas. A giant sequoia killed by the fire fell across the Generals Highway, blocking travel between the northern and southern portions of the fire until equipment could be mustered to cut through it.
434:. Meanwhile, the Paradise Fire's challenging location mid-slope with no safety zones or easy access caused officials to resort to an aircraft-only strategy, hoping to use water and fire retardant drops to keep the fire north of Paradise Ridge and south of the Kaweah River. By September 13, the area burned surpassed 200 acres (81 ha) and 800 acres (320 ha) for the Colony and Paradise fires. Evacuations were ordered for the 613:
wildfires throughout their lifetimes. As with the rest of the Sierra Nevada's forests, this ceased with European-American settlement. Sequoia and Kings Canyon parks together contain about 10,000 acres (4,000 ha) of giant sequoia groves, only 4,610 acres (1,870 ha) of which had seen prescribed or managed fire in the 20 years before the KNP Complex Fire. Most of that treated acreage was in the Giant Forest grove alone.
