Sequoia and Kings Canyon Start Pile Burning November 1
Sequoia and Kings Canyon national parks will burn piles of cleared brush and small trees from November 1 through March 15, 2027, when weather, fuels, air quality and staffing allow, in the Big Stump, Grant Grove and Cedar Grove areas of Kings Canyon and the Mineral King area of Sequoia, the park said October 30. Expect smoke, burning piles, firefighters and equipment along park roads, and reduced visibility at times. The burning clears material from forest-restoration and defensible-space work that helps protect giant sequoias and park facilities from wildfire. Air quality updates are at fire.airnow.gov and valleyair.org.
