    A tree was discovered in California which has been burning for 9 months

    Pretty amazing. It's a giant sequioia tree, which ignited during the Castle Fire of August 2020.

    It was just discovered that a single tree is still burning, and has been slowly doing so since the beginning of that fire. It's the longest known continuous burning of a single tree.

    After the 2013 Springs Fire in the Santa Monica Mountains, I went on a "disaster hike" about a month later. Nothing was smoldering, but it smelled like it had just burned the day before. It took a long time for that smell to go away.

    Now, 8 years later, you still see some burnt trees from that fire which appear freshly burned, despite all the time that has passed. Other areas have completely recovered and show no trace of that fire ever having been there.

    ya, but smoking it via an empty redbull can works as a best available option.

    About a dozen years ago, I went backpacking in the Adirondacks and ran into smoke coming out of the ground.
    The tree roots can slowly burn underground for days or even weeks before coming to the surface.
    What makes this hard to believe is the ground is fairly saturated with rain, but the slow burn continues.
