bonfires burned
Hi, can you help me please with this phrase burn a bonfire. I couldn't find it anywhere. Is it an idiom.

Thank you.

Hi Olga, What I think the author is trying to say is that there are many problems or "fires" that need to be address throughtout the league. Mostlikely many of these " bonfires" or big problems are related to poor financial situations, especially in this context. This is a variation the expression, "putting out fires" or problem solving.
