Piggy did not let the fire go out. Piggy failed to get a complete list of littluns, so that when the boys accidentally burn down some of the forest, they are not sure if everyone is there or if some boys are missing. Turns out, the boy with the birthmark on his face is missing, and we can infer he has died as a result of the fire.

Piggy was given one important job, and that was to count the "littluns." They needed an accurate count of exactly how many people were on the island, and Piggy forgot to count them. On another note, Piggy did let the fire go out....... everyone was told they needed to learn how to build a fire!
