The trick to starting a fire is to keep your lighter up to the flammable object, not the tinder. Just ask my camping trip group.

There was a girl that was in my group who was a bit of a pyromaniac, but not in a bad way. She was very good with fire and she could start one in about a minute with one match. She would just hold the match to the flammable object and then light it and that would start the fire.<br><br>We all sat around the campfire, enjoying the night and making s'mores, when I got up to go to bed. As I was walking towards my tent, I realized I forgot to pack my matches in my tent. I thought nothing of it and  figured I would just go back to the campers and tell them to give me one.<br><br>As I approached the campers, I heard this sound like everyone was in a panic. I got closer and I heard a small explosion and some screams. I saw a lot of blood and a lot of fire around the fire pit. I panicked and got as far away as I could and I called 911. I didn't see any of the other people in my group. I got picked up and I went to the hospital. I never heard from anyone again. <br><br>There is one thing that I know about the situation and that is that I was smart enough to surrender my matches before the incident. I don't know what caused the fire. I don't know what happened to the rest of the group. I don't know what the cause of death of the other people is. I know nothing except that I didn't start the fire.<br><br>Edit: I wrote this in third person for some reason
