In related news: World's largest tree wrapped in fire-resistant blanket due to threat of California wildfires.

"A 50-year history of using prescribed burns — fires set on purpose to remove other types of trees and vegetation that would otherwise feed wildfires — in the parks’ sequoia groves was expected to help the giant trees survive by lessening the impact if flames reach them."

By the way, General Sherman is a horrible name for a distinguished tree.
