Don’t mean to be discouraging, but when you have this much going on with huge wild fires, it can take a long time to get the fires contained and put out.
Here in Arizona:
Rodeo-Chedeski Fire: 469,000 acres burned. Fire started by arson (a volunteer forest fire fighter hoping to get some work!!) and a stranded hiker signal fire; fire started on June 18 2002, wasn’t put out until July 7 2002.
Wallow Fire: 522,000 acres burned. Fire started by two idiots who didn’t properly put out their camp fire. Fire started on May 29 2011 and wasn’t put out until July 8 2011.
Fortunately nobody died because of these huge fires.

Yes, those are huge fires—glad no one died! And you are correct...it will take time especially if only 3% containment as Pelham has said. Another source said some were 10%, but that is not much better!
