At the start of chapter twelve Jack lit a fire in an attempt to smoke Ralph out of his hiding place in the thicket close to castle rock. The fire simply got out of control, Jack did not intend to set fire to the entire island, including all the fruit trees and the pigs.
When you do not intend to fire the weapon.
jack starts the fire to get ralph out of his hiding
The irony of the fire is that Ralph kept insisting that the fire will get them rescued and Jack didn't care, but in the end, the fire that Jack started was the fire that got them rescued.
It was Jack's job to maintain the fire, but he was hunting instead. Ralph is mad because while Jack was hunting the fire went out and a ship went by. If Jack had maintained the fire they might have been rescued.
yep.

The plan to set the area on fire backfired on Jack when the wind shifted direction, causing the fire to spread uncontrollably and endangering his own life. Additionally, the fire attracted attention from authorities, leading to Jack being caught and facing legal consequences.
Bill asked Jack, "What'll we use for lighting the fire?"
TREAT, NEVER, KEEP,KEEP Treat every weapon as if it were loaded Never point at anything that you do not intend to shoot keep weapon on safe until you are ready to fire keep your finger straight and off the trigger until you intend to fire
His hands are too frozen to tend to the fire.
