The Intense Fight To Save Yosemite National Park Sequoias



Firefighters are working around the clock to stay ahead of the flames and save the treasured California native sequoias of Yosemite National Park. The fire has scorched nearly 1,600 acres and forced evacuations in nearby communities. This is the hottest climate these trees have seen in their 3000-year lifetime. » Subscribe to NBC News: http://nbcnews.to/SubscribeToNBC

  1. Cut down the other trees 250m from the tree… to stop fire from catching top

  2. Psalm 97:10- Hate evil, you who love the Lord, Who preserves the souls of His godly ones; He delivers them from the hand of the wicked.

    Psalm 11:5- The LORD tests the righteous and the wicked, And the one who loves violence His soul hates.

    Psalm 37:28- For the Lord loves justice And does not forsake His godly ones; They are preserved forever, But the descendants of the wicked will be cut off.

    1 Samuel 2:9- “He keeps the feet of His godly ones, But the wicked ones are silenced in darkness; . . .

  3. Ooh Deer,

    Poor Snakes, Rats, Black Bear, Sheep, Coyote, Squirrel, and Other Habitats…….

    ✌✌

  4. Toyota should kick in with some donations to boost resources, they have never paid the Sequoias any commissions.

  5. Your kids won't be able to see the park without government permission to travel

  6. Biden already sold the park to the Chinese didn't he? So why do we care.

  7. I Bet People That Do Not Like America, Starts Them Fires!

  8. And….they NEED fire to REPRODUCE….think you'll hear that ?

  9. It's all going to burn, it's just a matter of time SMH

  10. wasn't there just flooding here? Is this the END!!!!!

  11. Republicans : climate change is a lie

    Giant sequoias : hold climate changes beer

  12. Nature taking it's course.trees drop their seeds in a fire and they will regrow.this is God's design so quiet trippin.

  13. Why don't they just rake the leaves?? This is 100% preventable.

  14. Not doing controlled burns has caused this disaster !!!

  15. CAL Fire demanded to know the internals of my technical proposal to mitigate mega fires yet refused to sign my non disclosure agreement citing other competitors don’t require such agreements.
    That was 3 years ago and CAL Fire still milks the cow billing us for preventable fires.

  16. Socialize the cost, privatize the gains.

  17. So glad I was there last month

  18. Don't worry Biden will send some immigrants from the border they'll have those trees down in no time and a bunch of meth lab shelters and grow operations squatting on the park property

  19. the government and corporations are crashing and burning in their own way while the people make s'mores and have a bar-b-que with the flames

  20. If only we had stable genius leadership equipped with the most elite force of forest floor rakers.

  21. It’s just like watching someone putting a bandaid on a broken leg…

  22. I hope that my kids will be able to visit this park when he gets older. But at this rate, it might not be much to see in 5 years.

  23. If only there were more fire fighters to help with this
    Oh yeah Newsom is trying to close the training center for the fire fighters that usually fight these fires…

  24. as Trump would say///// YOZA MITE

  25. They should let ranchers run cattle in there like they did before to clean up the grasses

  26. We have a Second Amendment and should have no security problems in our free States!

  27. Should have raked the forest.

  28. Let's face it, part of california has become a true arid desert climate and the vegetation that still exist there belongs to a different era that is over. California is on its way to become the united sahara.
    water is already no longer a natural part of California. It's nature pay back time and by the way EV are a huge threat to drinking water sources. The lies about EV batteries being recycled, just like lies that pesticides are needed and harmless is criminal. It's a mascarade for marketing for big corporations.

  29. Those trees fall and we'll be in critical mode.

  30. Get the military out there.If you lose these you will be an even bigger joke.

  31. Hey guys I have a suggestion you might agree you might disagree but how about if we call out Jeff Bezos the richest man in the world he can afford to rent firefighting aerial firefighting equipment from another country like for example Canada to help save those sequoias he can afford it

  32. S000… Joe Biden's daughter wrote
    that he took inappropriate showers
    with her and Hunter referred to him
    aS
    "Pedo Peter"
    I'm sure there's
    nothing to see here, everyone move
    along.

  33. every year same thing same idiots who do nothing smaert to keep it from happening, i would sen di way to fix it but they say htinjka sna send my ideas to the trash oike they do other times i write to the govwernement

  34. LP reacted d ryt way, she is vos.Monster need of over drama, or over consider ations. She don't deserve *considerationsh. Lp പറഞ്ഞ പോലെ,, ജീവിതം തുടങ്ങിയല്ലേ ഉള്ളു, പഠിക്കട്ടെ.

  35. No remorse or sympathy for anything that is destructive toward America. Let's the four horsemen raining down on the land of Satan. America has burn and destroy countless nation with their evil war. Every nation on Earth should pray for more destruction on these devils

  36. Domestic terrorism….the power companies are behind this to cash 💸 in!!!

  37. Should’ve done some prescribed burning like what Sequoia Park is doing

  38. Only intense heat makes the seeds pop from its pine cones. Fire is part of its reproduction. No burning down,no room or need for seeds.

  39. Man this is my back yard…..Go Cal Fire!!!!😘😘😘❤️❤️❤️

  40. Power company why you do this

  41. “Life is not measured by the breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.” George Floyd, 2 years sober. Liberals… Say his name!

  42. Shout out to George Floyd on 2 years of sobriety. It took some tough love but he did it. Say his name liberals!
