What these numbers mean
Containment is the share of the fire's perimeter enclosed by a control line crews expect to hold — not the share extinguished. At 100% contained, this fire is still burning freely along the rest of its edge. Containment can also fall if a wind shift breaches a line.
Acreage is the reported size at the last update, and it tends to move in steps rather than smoothly, because it is revised when the perimeter is next mapped. More terms are defined in the glossary.
