Three. The first, most successful is built to warm him up and thaw his frozen beard and face whilst he eats a lunch of biscuits.
The second is built in order to dry out his moccasins and socks after he steps through ice into a knee deep puddle. Unfortunately he builds it under a pine tree, and in pulling twigs from the tree, vibation disturbs the snow on the branches above and dumps a load of snow onto his fire. His hands now numb and frostbitten, he cannot grasp the individual matches and strikes the whole bunch at once. The third fire barely gets underway, as he tries to feed small twigs and moss to the matches and tinder, he accidentally drops a piece of green moss onto the tinder and this puts out the flame.
