no, because the fire always dies out.

Ralph.
Ralph says this line in "Lord of the Flies." It is a reflection of the desperation and fear that the boys feel as they struggle to maintain a signal fire on the island to attract rescue.
In chapter 3 of "Lord of the Flies," Ralph is frustrated and concerned about Jack's obsession with hunting rather than focusing on building shelters and maintaining the signal fire. Ralph sees it as a distraction from the group's collective goal of being rescued.
Ralph believes they should keep the fire going continuously in case a ship passes by and sees the smoke. He wants them to maintain a signal fire and keep it burning to maximize their chance of rescue.
They are naked. They had been swimming when Ralph saw the smoke from the ship, then they ran up the mountain toward the signal fire, not taking the time to dress.
Ralph is frustrated about not having enough help with building shelters and keeping the signal fire going on the island.
Ralph feels that Jack's fire was too big and could have burned a lot of useful resources. Ironically, the fire will be more likely to signal help than the little fires that Ralph and the others built.
Ralph's plan for rescue involves building a signal fire on the island to attract passing ships and planes. He also suggests using the boys' glasses to start the fire, as they can create sparks. Additionally, Ralph emphasizes the importance of keeping the fire going to maintain the signal for as long as possible.
Because Jack isn't responsible enough to keep it lit
Because thy want to signal to a ship if it happens to pass by.
Johnny chooses Ralph because Ralph has proven to be a strong and capable leader, respected by the other boys on the island. Ralph's focus on building shelters, maintaining the signal fire, and creating a system of order gives Johnny hope for their survival and eventual rescue. Johnny also admires Ralph's fairness and willingness to listen to others' ideas.
Ralph keeps forgetting to maintain the signal fire in "Lord of the Flies" because he gets caught up in the chaos and distractions on the island. The boys are preoccupied with hunting, fighting, and their own desires, which causes them to lose focus on the importance of the signal fire for their rescue. Additionally, Ralph's leadership struggles and the growing savagery of the other boys contribute to the neglect of the fire.
