It has been an integral part of human social interaction, providing warmth, light, and a sense of security. Campfires have also played a role in rituals, storytelling, and bonding within communities. The modern concept of a campfire as a recreational activity emerged with the rise of camping and outdoor adventures in the 19th century.
