Yes, the signal fire went out several times because Jack and his hunters neglected it. The first time they allowed to to go out a ship passed and they missed the chance to be rescued.
When searching for the beast the boys get distracted by the rock formation, "Castle Rock", that could be a fort for them
because of the signal fire. Jack and his hunters were meant to keep the signal fire going but because Jack was hypnotised by the desire to hunt, he takes his hunters and retreats into the jungle to hunt a pig. When he is successful they return to the beach and realise that they let the fire out, and that a ship had passed but had not seen them because there was no signal fire
The signal fire went out because Jack 'needed' the two of his hunters who should have been on fire duty to complete a ring of hunters in his pig hunt.
Ralph is angry when Jack returns because the hunters neglected their duty to keep the signal fire going, missing a chance of being rescued. Instead, they got caught up in the excitement of the hunt, revealing their priorities lie elsewhere. Ralph feels frustrated by this lack of responsibility and focus on survival.
The hunters were responsible for keeping the signal fire lit but, they in Chapter 4 they let it burn out which destroyed an early survival because a ship went past.

The boys only had one plan for rescue, which was to keep a signal fire burning on the mountain top. Jack made the offer that his "hunters" would accept the responsibility of keeping the fire lit. Unfortunately, on the day that Ralph spotted a passing ship, Jack had decided that he need all of his hunters to effectively hunt a pig. As a result the fire was left untended and it went out. The ship passed by and the boys remained unrescued.
Jack London was sent to prison for thirty days because he neglected to pay his taxes
When Ralph is initially elected leader he confirms that the choir still belongs to Jack. Jack says that he wants his choir to be hunters, to supply the boys with meat by hunting pigs. After they light a signal fire on the mountain Jack says that his hunters will take on the responsibility for keeping the fire lit.
because the pig was stupid
They hunt pigs to get meat for the boys. However, near the beginning of the story, they are supposed to be keeping a fire going as a signal for boats that could potetially pass by and rescue them, but instead they are hunting. The signal fire goes out and when a boat that could have rescued the boys passes by, there is no signal. This makes Ralph very angry at Jack and the other hunters because they missed a chance of being rescued.
The signal fire may be out due to lack of fuel or bad weather conditions like strong winds or rain. It's important to keep the fire well-stocked and protected from the elements to ensure it stays lit and visible for others.
