The Keller Fire, which started on October 18, has burned through 15 acres and is now 95% contained after three days of firefighting efforts.
Containment of a wildfire is indicated as a percentage, reflecting how much of the fire's perimeter has been surrounded by a control line. In this case, 95% containment suggests a high degree of control.
The 95% containment does not imply that the fire is extinguished; it means that 5% remains uncontrolled and the fire is still being managed.
Firefighters report progress to the incident command, allowing mappers to continuously adjust the containment percentage based on inspections, line construction, and reinforcement activities.
