One of the world’s tallest trees — the centuries-old 'Doerner Fir' — is on fire in Oregon.

Douglas Fir covered in moss temperate rainforest Quinalt Forest Olympic National Park Washington USA.

In coastal Oregon, the state's tallest fir tree is burning.

Douglas-firs (Pseudotsuga menziesii) are Oregon's most common trees, but the tree that's ablaze, known as the Doerner Fir, is special. Measuring 325 feet (99.1 meters) tall and with a diameter of 11.5 feet (3.5 m), it is one of the world's biggest coastal Douglas-fir trees, and one of the largest trees on Earth.
