The Keller Fire started on October 18 in Alameda County, burning 15 acres. As of Sunday morning, 70% containment has been achieved, but 30% remains uncontrolled.
Containment is part of a larger management plan, expressed as a percentage that refers to how much of the fire perimeter is surrounded by control lines.
The containment percentage does not always correlate to the absolute safety level, as it indicates control over the fire's spread rather than confirming it's extinguished.
Firefighters report progress to central command, allowing data adjustments on the containment percentage, which informs the public of the ongoing wildfire management status.
