    Area burned annually

    These maps and accompanying text show prescribed natural fires, suppressed lightning fires, human-caused wildfires, and planned and completed prescribed burns in Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks. A bar plot summarizing area burned annually with the Parks since 1921 is shown at right. The total area burned in 2005, 14,087 ac (4269 ha), was greater than any previous year in the parks for which there are records (back to 1920).
