The Toro Fire, discovered in Riverside County on May 14, started near El Toro and Lindell Roads. It burned a total of 27.8 acres over 24 hours but was contained completely by the following afternoon. While 100% containment means that the fire's perimeter has been surrounded by a control line to prevent it from spreading, this does not imply that the fire is extinguished. The cause of the fire remains under investigation, highlighting the ongoing nature of fire management and control.
In the context of wildfires, 100% containment indicates that firefighters have established a control line around the entire perimeter to prevent further spread.
Containment serves an important function in wildfire management, as it allows teams to gain control over the flames while they continue to burn within the established perimeter.
