The County Fire in Siskiyou County, California, began on April 28 and has burned approximately 15 acres before being fully contained by firefighters. Full containment means that the fire's perimeter has been secured, preventing it from spreading further, although it may still be burning inside the containment lines. The management of wildfires involves both containment and control, with specific measurements recorded to indicate progress. While containment percentages signal control, they do not necessarily reflect overall safety or the fire's termination status.
A fully contained wildfire may continue to burn within the containment perimeter but is not likely to spread. Fire containment is critical for wildfire management.
Containment is part of a larger plan for managing a wildfire, expressed as a percentage, indicating control level but does not guarantee complete safety.
