The Solar Fire in Merced County has burned 22 acres and has been fully contained as of November 12, though the cause remains under investigation.
Full containment refers to surrounding the wildfire with control lines, stopping its spread, but does not mean the fire is completely out.
Containment percentages indicate the extent to which the fire perimeter is surrounded, based on ongoing reports from firefighters and adjustments made by mappers.
The difference between containment and control is crucial; containment means the fire cannot spread, while control involves managing the fire to prevent escape of flames.
