A fire drill is a primitive device to start a fire by friction between a rapidly rotating wooden rod and a cavity on a stationary wood piece.
The device can be any of the ancient types of hand-operated drills, including a hand drill, bow drill , or pump drill. The spindle is usually 1–2 cm thick and should end in a dull point. The spindle and fireboard should be made from dry, medium-soft non-resinous wood such as spruce, cedar, balsam, yucca, aspen, basswood, buckeye, willow, tamarack, or similar.
