The Waucoba Fire, which started on November 11 in Inyo County, burned eight acres over a month before being declared fully contained by firefighters.
Full containment means that firefighters have effectively surrounded the wildfire's perimeter, preventing it from spreading further, although the fire may continue to burn internally.
It's essential to distinguish between containment and control; after achieving 100% containment, the next step is ensuring the fire doesn't cross the perimeter.
Containment percentage is a critical metric for managing wildfires, indicating how much of the fire perimeter has been secured by firefighters.
