There's a whole plethora of things that could go wrong when one decides to build a gigantic bonfire near residential areas, but sometimes the spirit of celebration outweighs the fear of associated risks.
"Here's a look at the world's tallest bonfire," the filmer, Alan, explained to WooGlobe. "It was built by the local community and lit at midnight on July 11th to start the commemorative celebrations for the 12th of July 'Battle of the Boyne' victory.
"This is regarded as a Protestant celebration because King William of Orange, a Protestant from the Netherlands, defeated King James."

00:00So, bear with me, but there's a reason why all these houses are boarded up, if you look around, and it's to do with this, the world's biggest bonfire in Craigie Hill, Lorne, Northern Ireland.
00:22The heat would burn and melt the glass. They spray the houses with water so they don't go on fire after they light this thing at midnight.
00:33This is Craigie Hill in Lorne. They've got a funfair, food stalls, beer tents, children, random kids running about, shouting things, being noisy.
00:51It's just made of pallets. Is it hollow? No idea, but it's a mad size. That is just incredible, and bear in mind, we're not that close to it.
