A fire is burning one of the world’s tallest trees

US officials are trying to extinguish a fire burning in one of the tallest trees in the world in Oregon.

Doerner Fir, a coastal Douglas fir tree, which is estimated to be more than 99 meters and over 450 years of age, has been burning in Coos County in Oregon’s coastal range since Saturday.

On Tuesday, an infrared drone flight did not show active flames or smoke at the top of the tree, but Federal Land Management Spokesman Megan Harper detected a height of about 85 meters in a cavity on the tree body.

Harper was a challenge to find out how the tree would approach the side to fill the gap with water.

Various options, such as building scaffolding for better positioning, or allowing adjacent trees to see if it is misleading or burn to see if it is misleading, various options have been discussed.

The crew remained in place on Tuesday and added that he was waiting for a helicopter in case of water drops.

CoOS Forest Protection Association said on Monday that helicopter bucket drops reduced the fire activity close to the top of the tree. In order to prevent the spread of more fire, he added that the storage lines were built on the base of the tree where they were built.

He said that the fire could affect the stance of the tree in the global height ranking.

Ik We lost about 50 feet (15 meters) from the pieces that just falling from the fire and pieces, dedi he said and said that 15 meters disappeared from the upper burning.

“That’s why I don’t know where to stand from now on, but it’s still a magnificent tree.”

The cause of the fire was not determined and under investigation. Harper, the only trees and researchers burning in the vicinity are looking at lightning data to see if there is a new strike in the region.

According to Harper, for now, the tree is not under the risk of burning.

“Right now, it’s not a danger,” he said.

“The tree is so big, so many masses that it would take some time for the tree to burn to the end.”
