Block 8
- Block 8a - Percent (%) Contained or Completed
Enter the incident’s percentage containment or completion achieved as of the end of the reporting period. Type a value in the text box or use the slider bar with the mouse and move to correct percentage contained to date. If you use the slider bar, the numerical value will automatically update in the text above the slider.
- 100 % represents full attainment of the incident's current operational objectives.
- For wildfires managed under a full suppression strategy, this is usually expressed as the percentage of the fire perimeter that has been contained.
- For wildland fire managed under different strategies, this is usually usually expressed as the percentage of the fire perimeter that has been contained for the full suppression portion of the incident.
- For non-wildfire incidents complete only if relevant to the incident.
- Block 8b - Percent (%) of Perimeter that will be Contained or Completed
Enter the percent of the total perimeter that is to be contained or completed by management actions under the current strategy.
- For example, if 20% of a fire's perimeter is effectively bounded by natural barriers, enter 80% here to signify that only 80% of the perimeter will ultimately have containment line constructed around it. Do NOT use this field to represent the perimeter remaining to be contained.
- If the Fire Suppression Strategy in Block 9 is entered as 100% Full Suppression, Block 8b will automatically grey out and be set to 100%.
- For non.wildfire incidents complete only if relevant to the incident.
Examples:
- When a wildfire is being managed for full suppression, enter 100 percent.
- The management strategy for a wildfire calls for full suppression via active perimeter control on 90%
of the fire's edge (10% of the perimeter is in a Wilderness Area, where no Fireline will be
constructed). At the end of this reporting period, about one‐fourth of the intended Fireline has been
constructed and is holding. Under this scenario, enter 90% in Percent (%) to Be Contained or
Completed and 25% in Percent (%) Contained or Completed.
- Non-wildfire example: If an oil spill is being managed for 100 percent containment, enter the
percentage that has been contained (or cleaned up) in the Percent Contained or Completed field.
Select 100 percent in the Percent of Perimeter to be Contained field.
