Cemetery Fire, which ignited in Modoc County, has burned 56.4 acres and was fully contained after active firefighting efforts. The investigation into its cause remains ongoing.
Full containment means firefighters have encircled the wildfire's perimeter, stopping it from spreading, although the fire may continue to burn within the containment area.
Containment percentage is a critical measurement indicating how much of the wildfire's perimeter is enclosed by a control line, but it doesn't always guarantee overall safety.
The distinction between containment and control is crucial: containment signifies the fire is surrounded, while control ensures the fire cannot spread beyond the established lines.
