You fan a campfire because fire needs oxygen. Although fanning it would seem like it is blowing it away from existence, since fire needs oxygen, which is in air, the more you blow, the faster it becomes a big fire. Fire takes a while on its own to become a big flame, because it cannot grab a lot of oxygen on its own. That's why we fan fire - to help is grow.
