    1. Over 1million acres burned in wildfires in Texas this summer.

    2. Wildfire is first recorded in the Late Silurian fossil record, 420 million years ago, by fossils of charcoalified plants. Apparently not due to anthropogenic interference.

    3. The name 'bonfire' is believed to be derived from the Celtic custom of burning the bones of the cattle which were slaughtered at Samhain - a 'bone fire'.

    4. Celebratory bonfires have historical precedence in Alpine and Central Europe, Australia, Canada, India, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan Scandinavia, Slavic Europe, Turkey, United Kingdom, United States, and College Station.
