Contained Vs. Controlled

Even if the fire is 100 percent contained by tomorrow, firefighters will still be hard at work.
There is a big difference between contained and controlled, warned fire officials.
"Even if we get a black ring around the whole fire, there's still a lot to do," said Lee Bentley, a member of the team managing the fire.
He estimated mop-up efforts - a term to describe the removal of remaining vegetation and dousing any remaining hot spots - to take up to a month.
