Explanation
กองไฟ is made from กอง, meaning a pile or gathered mass, and ไฟ, meaning fire. The image is a fire gathered in one place, especially an outdoor fire made with wood or branches. Common verbs include ก่อกองไฟ “make a campfire,” จุดกองไฟ “light a campfire,” and ดับกองไฟ “put out a campfire.” It can be counted with กอง, as in กองไฟหนึ่งกอง, “one campfire.”
Usage
Use this word in contexts such as camping, forests or mountains, outdoor work, keeping warm at night, or cooking outside. It also appears in stories and news when people make or put out an outdoor fire.
Caution
It is not normally used for a stove flame, candle flame, or lighter flame. A fire as an accident or disaster is ไฟไหม้, not กองไฟ.
