The Tree Also Has Its Own Built-In Fire Resistance - So, Hopefully?

Fire fighters have wrapped the base of the world's tallest tree with an aluminium blanket (https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/sep/17/worlds-largest-tree-wrapped-in-fire-resistant-blanket-as-california-blaze-creeps-closer). The wrapping offers short term protection against the wildfires, sweeping California's Sierra Nevada. The tree, dubbed 'General Sherman', is a Sequoia (Giant redwood) in the Sequoia National Park. The soft, fibrous bark of Sequoias also helps protect the species from forest fires. It's an adaptation to fires that are regular occurences in Coniferous woodlands. General Sherman, consequently, has double protection.
