Re: [californiadisasters] Lake



I haven't tracked the Lake fire.   It's not near my home, I was out of state for a month and rehabbing the RV now so I can leave again. 

The Washington fire is just over the hill from me, I'm watching it, with dismay. 

Having said that, if the mgt team is CalFire, they'll attack when safe, which the comment indicated. 

If it's the Feds, it means the fire hit the tree line (altitude) so they'll 'contain' it there.  :-(. Yes I'm frustrated and very angry about the Feds. 

I too am hoping enough is left to reseed.

Rick, I understand, no problem!  The information that I am searching for on the Lake Fire is whether or not there are areas of the forest where the fire passed through without crowning but cleared away the understory. That would be a good thing for that wilderness. There was that passing statement that I quoted initially that needs some follow up:

"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/

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

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?
