During the meeting in chapter 5: Beast from Water Ralph raises the issue of the fire. He states quite clearly that he believes the fire to be the most important thing on the island, their only hope of ever getting rescued. Ralph tries to instill in the boys that the prime purpose of the fire is as a signal. For this reason he makes a new rule forbidding any other fires except for the one on the mountain top. My forcing all the boys to use this one fire for their cooking he hopes to ensure that it kept permanently buring and is never allowed to go out again.
