To see the largest fire in the world, you'll need to visit Alesund in Norway where wooden pallets stacked to a height of over 40 meters, forming a giant bonfire.
All this takes place at the annual festival in commemoration of the birth of John the Baptist.
Aalesund traditional bonfire, known as Slinningsbalet, brought to its maximum size.
In 2010 a record was set for the highest fire height 40.45 meters.
Previous mark was at 37.84 meters, set in 1993.
The base structure is about 20 meters wide.
Approximately 30-40 people are involved in the assembly and light structure, then someone has to climb to the top to light it.
If the fire will not burn from top to bottom, everything could end up pretty badly.
