The original purpose of the fire on the mountain was to act as a signal to attract the attention of passing ships and airplanes. Initially though the enthusiasm of the boys in throwing fresh wood on the fire lead to it becoming a huge out of control bonfire which then sends out sparks which cause further fires. Later on in the story the signal fire deteriorates into a small cooking fire for the boys on "signal fire" duty.
