Residents of a Norwegian coastal town have stacked wood into a 156-foot-tall tower to break the record for the world’s tallest bonfire.

Residents of Alesund stacked wooden pallets high into the sky to beat the bonfire height record of 141 feet, set in Slovenia in 2007.

They took the record on June 25th as part of their summer solstice festival.

The 155.5-foot blaze was constructed using more than 30,000 pieces of wood that were carefully stacked and then nailed together.

For safety precautions, the whole bonfire was placed on an artificial island.

Interested spectators watched from boats and a full fire service was onsite in case of emergency.

The fire, which has grown in size every year, burned all night.
