When we were relieved by the next team they continued feeding the fire with more empty crates, plus some twigs and bransches.
It all went well untill morning when the CO gave them a barking for breaking the rules, both by having open fire near the ammo dump, regulations call for minimum 100 meters distance from any open flame, and for burning the crates wich were considered "special waste" and to be disposed in certain containers.
The next night we set a small island on fire with tracers, that wasn't mentioned at all in the reports...
