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:

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?
