What is the status of property when a fire is no longer spreading but there may still be some fire present?

The status of property when a fire is no longer spreading but there may still be some fire present is termed as "Under Control." This indicates that while the primary threat of the fire has been mitigated, there are still some active hot spots or areas where embers may exist, requiring ongoing monitoring and potentially further extinguishing efforts.

This classification is critical for responders to understand that, although the situation is stabilized, it is not yet resolved, and it may require additional resources or attention to fully extinguish the fire.

In contrast, the term "Extinguished" implies that all fire activity has completely ceased, and there are no remaining hot spots, making it a state that follows being "Under Control." "Contained" refers to preventing the fire from spreading beyond a certain area, which may still include active flames or heat. "Secured" generally means the area is safe for personnel, but doesn't necessarily convey the status of the fire itself.
