Oregon firefighters trying to save ancient, 325-foot fir tree from blaze

Worlds tallest fir in Coos County, Or is burning near the top from the inside out and they say it's not lightning that caused it. The things that make you go, 🤔

The remaining burning area inside the tree was about 250 feet up on Monday and 280 feet up on Tuesday, the Coos firefighters said. Even with the remaining pocket of heat, the tree isn’t in immediate danger of burning down.

Bureau of Land Management spokeswoman Megan Harper told The Associated Press that “the tree is so big, it’s got so much mass that it would take a while for it to burn all the way through the tree.”

The tree is one of the largest non-redwood trees in the world, Coos firefighters said, though the fire has trimmed it to an extent. Ms. Harper told AP that “we’ve lost about 50 feet of it, just from fire and pieces falling out.”

The Bureau of Land Management determined that lightning didn’t cause the fire, and an investigation into what caused it is ongoing.
