The heat activates them to open because the seed thinks it is warm enough to let the seeds germinate. And let the plant reproduce.

Sequoia trees reproduce through both sexual and asexual means. They produce cones that contain seeds, which are dispersed by wind or animals. Additionally, they can reproduce asexually through root sprouts, layering, or cuttings.
