It's all in the meaning of the word.
'Bonfires' were not used for worship by the Jewish nation or the Christian congregation, as in many of the pagan nations around them. so there would be no Biblical significance in that way.
The word Bonfires , literally means 'bonefires', and were a pagan custom, where Druid priests sought to appease the sun god by sacrificing animals and sometimes, people.
"By observing the way the sacrifices died, the Druids looked for omens of the future."-Beaumont Enterprise.'
However, in Acts 19:18 &19, we're told about something that happened nineteen centuries ago in the city of Ephesus, where the goddess Artemis was worshiped. After the Apostle Paul preached there for about three years, many Ephesians who became Christians , built a fire to burn their expensive books on magical arts.
Though some Bible translations term this a 'bonfire', it was simply a fire, used to destroy what they felt was demonistic material, and not an instrument of worship.
