The Pinnacles Fire, first detected on September 27, burned 16.8 acres over six days before being fully contained, with the cause still under investigation.
Containment indicates that firefighters have established a control line around the wildfire, crucial for preventing its spread, but does not signify that the fire is extinguished.
While 100% containment means the wildfire cannot expand beyond its perimeter, it might still be burning within that area until fully controlled.
Fire containment is part of a broader firefighting strategy, tracked through reports and mapping to communicate progress and safety levels to the public.
