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?

"Fire within the wilderness is low intensity allowing the firefighters to gain safe ground to effectively attack the fire."   http://inciweb.nwcg.gov/incident/4302/
