Fire stories give details that you might not read in a newspaper headline or hear in a television soundbite. These short stories put a "human face" on the people, the projects, and the science of fire management at Sequoia & Kings Canyon National Parks. While only covering a small percentage of what happens here, we hope the stories below will give you a taste of our program.
