On Nov. 18, 1999, 12 people died in the collapse of the Aggie Bonfire at Texas A&M University. It was a tradition at the school to construct the bonfire before A&M played Texas in football.
A source has confirmed a report in The Morning Call of Allentown that the Easton Area High School bonfire will be canceled this year due to a Northampton County burn ban and the risk of wildfires.
