The U. S. Interagency Fire Center defines a megafire by its size : it is a wildfire that burns more than 40, 500 hectares(100, 000 acres) of land. Other wildfire experts expand the definition of a megafire beyond "acres burned" to mean wildfires that have an unusually large impact on people and the environment.  2, record 2, English, - megafire

The driving phase begins when the lead foot lands on the outside of the forefoot just in front of the athlete's center of gravity(i. e., the athlete's hips). The foot is driven to the ground by the hip extensor muscles. It is important for the quadriceps to fire as the foot makes contact with the ground to keep the knee from flexing excessively, which would dissipate elastic energy. The ankle should be dorsiflexed, with the foot's big toe pulled up, the combination of which will allow for the storage of elastic energy to be maximized to help with propulsion later...  1, record 8, English, - driving%20phase

Every novice knows the wigwam fire--indeed if a child who has never made a fire were told to build one, he would surely turn up with a wigwam, for it is the natural arrangement. But nevertheless, it is not without importance in the craft, for it is the core of every fire lay no matter how elaborate. Viewed in its own right and aside from its contribution as the starting torch of other lays, it has few qualifications as a cooking fire if one intends to do more than stew a pot of tea, because its heat is all thrown to the center of the pyramid and offers no spread for the utensils, and its coals all drop to one small spot in the center. It is good for light, however, and is prized in the evening. First the coil of birch-bark, or the chip of fat pine, or the handful of tiny twigs broken into a pyramid, or the fuzz-stick; then a few softwood sticks from the size of a pencil up to that of your little finger, stacked around it in wigwam fashion, and lastly the hardwood sticks of finger and thumb size. Remember to keep it tall and slender. And keep it small--a foot high and a foot wide at the base.  4, record 9, English, - wigwam%20fire

Feu en cône. Cette méthode est excellente pour obtenir rapidement des braises ou pour faire un petit feu de camp. Un feu en cône a l'inconvénient de faire les étincelles. Il demande donc de l'attention dans sa conduite et une surveillance constante. Pour le construire, il suffit de disposer en cône serré, autour d'un petit cône initial de brindilles et d'allume feu, des rondins de diamètre et de longueur progressivement croissants.
