The Horseshoe Fire has burned 4,537 acres since it started on October 30, with crews achieving 98% containment as of December 13, showcasing effective firefighting efforts.
Containment percentage indicates how much of the fire perimeter is surrounded by a control line, ensuring 98% of the fire is contained, though not necessarily extinguished.
Containment does not mean a fire is out; it is part of a larger management plan to control a wildfire, reflecting only a certain level of control.
As firefighters progress in managing the fire, central command receives reports that allow them to adjust the containment percentage, providing public updates on the fire's status.
