This is so sad and it happened today; in Longwood Florida where it has been very dry and where fires seem to be a bit rampant right now, an old bald cypress that was called 'The Senator' burned totally. It was estimated to be around 3500 years old. Reminded me of the photo that Tarev shared.
They don't seem to be sure how or where the fire started but they don't think it was arson. It was named for a US senator who had donated the land it grew on some years ago for a park.
What's amazing is that it lived this long.
