Wildfires swirling around California's giant sequoia trees are prompting more evacuations as they spread toward communities surrounding the forests.
Residents in Ponderosa and Quaking Aspen in Tulare County have been ordered to evacuate immediately now that the Windy Fire had fanned to more than 18,000 acres surrounding the Sequoia National Forest and was 0% contained on Sunday morning.
Other communities in Tulare County, such as Johnsondale and Camp Whitsett, had been ordered to evacuate several days earlier due to the Windy Fire, while the KNP Complex Fire, which is also threatening the historic sequoia forests, prompted evacuations in the Three Rivers community.
The KNP Complex Fire had grown to nearly 22,000 acres by Sunday morning and was also 0% contained.
