The fire  is way up in the hills of Carmel Valley (Cachagua area), so I'm 
not so certain  these two varieties are in much danger.  Not so sure about 
the pine, but  I'm fairly certain the cypress is basically coastal in Monterey 
 County.>>>>>
 
The Monterey Cypress is widely used for landscaping up and down
the Pacific Coast.  The Monterey Pine is a major lumber tree for
Australia, New Zealand, and areas of South America where it grows
much better than in its tiny native habitat.  In some of these areas  the
pine has "escaped" and naturalized, sometimes overwhelming the
native species.
