Once again thinking about Peeta being a "whiz" at fires and that Katniss is the girl on fire. And specifically thinking about how building up a fire takes oxygen. And how Peeta must know the right amount of breath to use to build it up. Not so little it doesn't take, but not so much that it gets blown up. Just enough support for it to become the center of the gathering.
And how a gale is a strong wind that would blow out any new flame trying to spring up. It's simply too much of what's needed and it's overpowering. And in a steady fire, gales create dangerous circumstances for wildfires bringing about widespread destruction, rather than a warming campfire.
