Fire containment<\/p>\n
Interpreting what 68% containment means<\/p>\n
Containment indicates what percentage of the fire perimeter has been surrounded by a control line. In this case, it means that 68% of the wildfire is halted from spreading, while 32% is still uncontrolled.<\/p>\n
Containment is part of a larger plan for managing a wildfire. It is normally expressed as a percentage and it refers to how much of the fire perimeter has been surrounded\/enclosed by a control line that firefighters create. The containment percentage indicates a certain level of control, but it doesn’t always correlate to safety level. Also, it’s important to note that containment doesn’t mean a fire is out.<\/p>\n
How is containment measured? <\/p>\n
The incident’s central command constantly receives progress reports from firefighters on the ground. As the fireline is constructed, inspected or reinforced, mappers record those details to adjust the containment percentage. The percentage tells the public how much of the fire perimeter is believed to not go beyond the control lines.<\/p>\n
