Why is it being called a "camp fire"?

They name the fires for the location that they started.

I'm surprised The Weather Channel hasn't started naming them
alphabetically like they're doing now for winter storms. How stupid is
that?

Naming winter storms seems silly in the first place. They probably
worry
about the names being sexist, racist, ............ist too.
Blizzards happen fairly often.

Why do common things like that need names?

Presumably because its easier than 'that one that started in x on thursday'
etc.

Are we that starved for attention or the need to feel special?
