Fire can be both helpful and harmful. It can spread quickly and destroy forests, fields, homes and lives. However, it also gives light, helps with celebrations, provides warmth, cooks food, and allows for new growth by burning away old plants. Fire is useful for cooking, lighting, celebrating and crafting useful items, but can also destroy if not contained.
