A large fire built outdoors, as for signaling or in celebration of an event.
GDROB answered Wednesday September 21 2005, 11:01 pm: It's illegal actually to have one in most states, provinces in Canada and U.S. It is a fire hazard for burning down trees and causing major fires and disaster. Teenagers often do this unsupervised and then scatter once dry wood or ground goes up in smoke around them. When supervised they are usually done at major events. Essentially all it is or should be is a massive fire controlled. Some people might cook things in it but I would advise not too.
I remember living out in Victoria, British Columbia and was about 4-years-old. The Queen of England lit one of these in Beacon Hill Park and it started to get out of hand with everyone running away from fire as fast as they could and the fire department brought in. The minute she saw what was happening it was back to her limo and away she went. True story. [ GDROB's advice column | Ask GDROB A Question ]
