The Horseshoe Fire, which started on October 30, 2024, has burned 4,537 acres, but as of December 2, it is 98% contained with the cause still under investigation.
Containment of a wildfire is a critical aspect of management, representing how much of the fire perimeter has been controlled and indicating the ongoing efforts of firefighting teams.
Despite the 98% containment, it is essential to understand that this does not necessarily equate to the fire being completely out or safe.
Containment percentages are updated based on reports from ground teams and indicate progress in controlling the fire's spread as firefighting resources are deployed.
