Fire Threatens Oregon's Ancient Doerner Fir, One of the Tallest Trees

Firefighters in Oregon are battling to save the Doerner Fir, one of the world's tallest and oldest trees, from a wildfire that has already caused significant damage, including the loss of about 50 feet of its height. Efforts include unconventional methods like scaffolding and drone surveillance, with the fire posing a threat to the tree's ranking among the tallest trees globally, but experts believe the tree is unlikely to burn completely.
