Since its discovery on July 29, the Italian Fire has burned 46.4 acres and was fully encircled by control lines, although investigations into its cause continue.
Containment indicates how much of a wildfire's perimeter has a control line, but 100% containment doesn't mean the fire is fully extinguished—it may still burn within.
Control follows containment; it ensures that the fire cannot spread beyond the established lines, while containment is a part of a broader wildfire management strategy.
Containment percentages reflect the extent of control achieved by fire crews, but they do not always correlate to the level of safety in the area.
