Regional context, not property-specific evidence. The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 124 fires within 5 miles of Sequoia between 1992 and 2020, burning about 352 acres in total. 53 started naturally. 11 were recorded as arson. Distance is straight-line from the map coordinates, so a fire counted here may appear on a neighbouring settlement's page as well.

The most recent of them, most recent first, with the day each was reported and the service that recorded it.
