Incident status
Explain all statuses All operational statuses Possible A possible fire has been reported, but is not yet confirmed. Confirmed The source has confirmed a fire. This does not establish whether it is still burning. Ongoing The source last reported the incident as ongoing. Conditions may have changed since that update. Controlled The source reports the fire is under control; it may still be burning or require crews. Extinguished The source reports the fire has been put out. Monitoring or other work may continue. Closed The source has closed its incident record. This alone does not confirm when the fire was extinguished. Unknown No clear operational status is available from the source. All public lifecycle statuses Active This report is in the current reporting window. This is not confirmation that the fire is still burning. Uncertain The report needs fresh confirmation, or its source status does not establish a current active fire. It remains in the current list. Expired The report has passed the reporting window and moved to the archive. This does not mean the fire is confirmed out.
