Get a bucket of water and dump it on the fire. Than stomp on the ashes that are still orange *fire*. Wait for all the 'light' to go away, than if you want to scoop up the ashes, don't put it in anything flammable.
The word "bonfire" originated from the Middle English words "bone" and "fire," as these fires were traditionally used for burning bones in ancient times.
A bonfire primarily involves the transfer of thermal energy. The heat generated from burning wood is transferred to the surrounding air, warming up the surroundings.
"Bonfire" has its origin in the 1550s and used to refer to a wood fire that was used to burn bones. It is a historical reference to the Medieval practice of burning the dead and the convicted.
Check out your local bonfire sites and ask if you can add to there pile,it's the time of the year or if you have space,have your own little bonfire, burning small amounts at a time, and don't forget the sparklers!
A bonfire produces mainly thermal energy in the form of heat and light. The burning of the wood releases stored chemical energy in the form of heat and light energy.

Taking a shot at this one... the nearer to the bonfire you are, the closer you are to the chemical reaction of burning wood, which releases energy into the air causing the molecules to move faster creating friction which creates heat. Or... the short answer, your approaching fire.
Fire has many colors in it depending on what is burning. Most often, you use different reds and oranges, with some yellow mixed in. Fire can also be blue or green if it's burning certain chemicals.
When you stand in front of a bonfire, you feel hot because the fire emits infrared radiation, which directly heats your body. Additionally, the heat generated by the fire warms the surrounding air, creating convective heat transfer. Together, these factors contribute to the sensation of feeling hot.
The heat transfer involved when a marshmallow is roasted over a bonfire is primarily conduction. The heat from the flames directly heats the marshmallow through direct contact, causing it to melt and become gooey.
