ring fire

Flames forming loop

Ring fire is a technique for surrounding an area with flames, typically used in controlled burns to contain wildfires or clear land.

The fire burns inward from the perimeter, consuming fuel while preventing spread beyond the established boundary.

Also refers to the pattern itself: Firefighters established a ring fire around the outbreak.
