Quick Definitions:
WFU = Wildfire Use event, ongoing fires agencies manage for resource benefit.
Contained = A fuel break around the fire has been completed. This break may include natural barriers or manually and/or mechanically constructed line.
Controlled = The complete extinguishment of fire, including spot fires. Fire line has been strengthened so that flare-ups from within the perimeter of the fire will not break through this line.
Rx Burn = Prescribed fire, a controlled burn that the agencies light to improve the ecosystem in a specified area.
