The Meiss Fire has burned 42 acres since its discovery, with containment achieved as of Monday morning, although investigations into its cause remain ongoing.
Containment refers to surrounding a wildfire's perimeter with a control line, indicating that the fire will not spread further, but may still be burning inside.
A fully contained wildfire may not necessarily be extinguished; it signifies the perimeter is secured, preventing further spread while the fire burns within.
The progression of containment is tracked by incident command through reports from ground firefighters, who provide data on control line construction and reinforcement.
