Gibby Fire initially started at 3:02 p.m. Sep. 2 at Ortega Hwy and Gibby Road in Orange County, California.
As of Friday evening, 230 acres of land had been consumed by it. By Friday evening, 88% of the fire was brought under containment. There is currently no information on the cause of the fire.
Fire containment
What does it mean for a fire to be 88% contained?
Containment indicates what percentage of the fire perimeter has been surrounded by a control line. In this case, it means that 88% of the wildfire is contained from spreading, while 12% is still uncontrolled.
Containment is part of a larger plan for managing a wildfire. It is normally expressed as a percentage and it refers to how much of the fire perimeter has been surrounded/enclosed by a control line that firefighters create. The containment percentage indicates a certain level of control, but it doesn't always correlate to safety level. Also, it's important to note that containment doesn't mean a fire is out.
How is containment measured?
The incident's central command constantly receives progress reports from firefighters on the ground. As the fireline is constructed, inspected or reinforced, mappers record those details to adjust the containment percentage. The percentage tells the public how much of the fire perimeter is believed to not go beyond the control lines.

ORANGE COUNTY, CA — Potentially dangerous surf and rip currents were expected along Laguna Beach Saturday as Hurricane Marie remained well offshore but sent a growing southerly swell toward the Orange County coast.
The National Weather Service said it has high confidence in potentially deadly rip currents and large waves during the Labor Day weekend, particularly at south-facing beaches such as Laguna Beach and Seal Beach.
A high surf advisory and coastal flood advisory will be in effect until 11 p.m. Tuesday for the Orange County coast.
The south swell generated by Marie is expected to produce waves of 5 to 8 feet along exposed south-facing shores, with some Southern California locations, potentially seeing larger waves, forecasters said.
"With huge crowds expected at the beaches for the Labor Day holiday, the emphasis for these statements is to alert the public to be extra careful in and near the ocean," according to the weather service.
High tides will also increase through early next week and are expected to exceed 7 feet by Monday. The combination of elevated tides and the south swell will create a moderate risk of coastal flooding along vulnerable south- facing shores, with Avalon, Long Beach's Alamitos Peninsula and Malibu among the areas of greatest concern.
Marie is forecast to track northwest over the next several days while remaining well off the California coast, but tropical moisture associated with the storm will increase across the region.
Forecasters said light to moderate rain could develop over the weekend, particularly Sunday. The weather service put the chance of rain Sunday at 50% to 80% in Los Angeles County, while forecasters in Orange County said periods of light to locally moderate rain are possible Saturday and Sunday.
Rainfall totals are generally expected to remain below a half-inch and likely under a quarter-inch in most populated areas, with isolated higher amounts possible, particularly in coastal-facing mountains.
Forecasters cautioned that roads could become especially slick with any wetting rain because of oils that have accumulated during the dry summer months.
There is also a 5% chance of excessive rainfall that could produce minor flooding in heavier showers, along with a 5% to 15% chance of thunderstorms, mainly in the mountains and urban areas. Any stalled or repeatedly developing storms could produce more than a quarter-inch of rain in an hour, according to the weather service.
Humidity will increase as Marie's moisture reaches the region, with increased cloud cover expected through the weekend. Overnight temperatures could remain in the 70s along southern coastal areas and coastal valleys where clouds persist.
Forecasters said unsettled weather could linger into early next week as moisture from the remnants of Marie interacts with an unusually active jet stream over the region.

Quick look: High School Voter Education Weeks will take place Sept. 14 through Sept. 25, encouraging California students to learn about elections and eligible 16- and 17-year-olds to preregister to vote. Schools can also register for the statewide Student Mock Election set for Oct. 6.
High School Voter Education Weeks will return across California next week, giving schools another opportunity to promote civic learning and encourage eligible students to preregister to vote.
The statewide initiative will run from Monday, Sept. 14, through Friday, Sept. 25. Led by State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Thurmond and Secretary of State Shirley N. Weber, the effort encourages high schools to raise civic awareness and help students ages 16 and 17 preregister to vote.
Preregistration allows eligible students to complete the registration process before they turn 18, with their registration becoming active once they reach voting age.
Since California launched its preregistration program in 2016, more than 1.5 million students have preregistered, resulting in more than 1.2 million eligible voters, according to the California Department of Education.
Schools can participate by hosting voter registration or preregistration drives and incorporating other civic engagement activities. Eligible students can preregister online through the state’s voter registration website at registertovote.ca.gov.
Another statewide opportunity will follow shortly after Voter Education Weeks.
The 2026 California Student Mock Election will take place Tuesday, Oct. 6, offering students a hands-on way to learn about voting and the election process. Participating schools will conduct their own mock elections, with students able to compare their results with those of their peers across California.
Schools have until Sept. 30 to register for the program through the California Secretary of State’s Student Mock Election webpage.
Students can also explore opportunities to serve as poll workers. Under state law, students in grades six through 12 may receive one excused absence per year to participate in a civic or political event with prior notice.
Additional toolkits, classroom materials and information about youth civic engagement opportunities are available through the Secretary of State’s High School and Youth Initiatives webpage.
For questions about High School Voter Education Weeks or other student civic engagement opportunities, contact the Secretary of State’s Outreach and Education team at [email protected] or 916-584-3538, or the California Department of Education’s High School Innovations and Initiatives Office at [email protected] or 916-319-0893.
