Most definitely fuel density... sometimes fuel type. For example, on the north part of the Rocky Fire there has been talk about the Wye Fire and Walker Fire burn scars having lighter more flashy fuels than most the rest of the burn area for that fire.

So at what point do old scars become no-longer-useful fuel breaks, really? Or is it just that the type of veg is different, fewer trees, less established brush...??

Fortunately it has some large fire scars around it including the 2002 Wolf Fire scar to the north and the 2006 Day Fire scar to the east and the 2007 Zaca Fire scar to the west and is within the 1985 Wheeler Fire scar.
