[californiadisasters] Lake

My apologies Dan, I was thinking it was in the high desert (bo-ring).  I have been corrected yet my analogy was correct.  The crown fire abated as the fuels thinned enough to make an assault.

Thanks, Rick. Actually, I've been exactly where the fire is burning on several occasions, and it definitely is a full-on forest. Dan

No.  It means the fuels changed, thinning out enough to effect an attack. 

An understory infers a forest, the Lake fire isn't in one.

From this it sounds like the fire may be clearing out the understory, no? Anybody have any first hand information about the intensity of the fire in the wilderness?
