| The "before" picture. |
 |
| Rumor has it there were 350 wood pallets on the pile. |
 |
| At the beginning, it was easy to stand close. |
 |
| Approximately the moment people began to back away quickly |
 |
| Craig Berger: "It's like an animal!" |
 |
| There's nobody close to that thing now. |
 |
| After the grass caught fire, the fire department stepped in. Never saw that at a Homecoming Bonfire before! |
 |
| And so the UMBC community tamed the fire . . . until next year. |
