The Mosquito Fire ignited on September 6th, 2022, southeast of Foresthill, California. The eastern edge of the fire was actively burning towards the Placer County Big Trees Grove, the northernmost and smallest grove of giant sequoias (Sequoiadendron giganteum). The grove recently underwent a series of fuel reduction treatments, including mechanical thinning, pile burning, and underburning. Forest staff requested that the Fire Behavior Assessment Team (FBAT) prioritize monitoring of treated and untreated areas within and adjacent to the Big Trees Grove.
