The density of the vegetation is tied to the history of the land, which was logged starting in the mid-1800s. “That gets me wondering if we’re seeing similar behavior, at least in parts of that fire.” “Someone showed me a picture of the Oak fire, and it had a pyrocumulus cloud created above it at least 20,000 feet in height,” Stephens said.
