When you build a fire,there has to be a ring of non-combustible material around it as a safety measure to keep the fire contained within the ring.This can be made of steel,usually supplied at developed camps,but in primitive sites is usually made of stones collected and placed in a circle around the fire.It holds the fire and embers from falling away and spreading into surrounding burnable areas and growing into a wildfire.sometimes the inside is scraped down to sub-soil or is lined with sand or gravel,to keep the fire from burning under and into roots or sub-surface burnable material and catching a fire underground.
A fire ring is any sort of barrier that contains the campfire within a particular area, as to prevent the spread of embers. A fire ring can be constructed with rocks or other various objects impervious to a campfire flame. Make sure to clear out an adequate area of dirt and place the rocks down in a circle. Some campsites may even have preexisting fire rings, so you could just use them.
Most hard wired residential smoke detectors also have batteries. Replace the batteries and the smoke detectors will work again. If the furnace is on the same circuit and is not working because there is no electricity, you may have a issue in that circuit. Without more information, we cannot diagnose that from here. You may have to call an electrician.

In the forest, rock rings are discouraged because it permanently scars the rocks in an area. Also, a large campfire permanently damages an area of soil.
