SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Four people fighting the KNP Complex Fire, one of the notable wildfires burning in the state, are recovering after they were injured after a tree fell and hit them.
Officials with the Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks said in a Facebook post that the group was working near the southern end of the KNP Complex Fire Thursday, Oct. 7, when a radio transmission came in alerting officials of the incident.
One of the injured is an employee with Cal Fire, while the other three are firefighters with the California Conservation Corps. All four were taken to area hospitals Thursday and as of Friday morning, they were released, according to park officials.
