   Your title, “a singing fire”, brings back a couple of childhood memories. One, sitting around a beach fire singing songs. Two, listening to wet wood whistle when placed on the beach fire.

     I’ve never heard wet wood whistle! I want to remember to try it.

     Love the image/reminder of fires + singing. I have many of those memories myself, though not from childhood.

       The wood has to be green or somewhat waterlogged. It will whistle when water inside the wood vaporized and the steam comes out.
