- Fire_in_the_hole abstract ""Fire in the hole" is a warning that an explosive detonation in a confined space is imminent. It originated with miners, who needed to warn their fellows that a charge had been set.The first cannons developed were discharged, shot or exploded by placing a flaming torch to a small hole packed with gunpowder and leading to the main powder charge. This caused the main charge to explode, propelling the cannon ball to the enemy, or sometimes, blowing up the cannon and all standing nearby.[citation needed]Hence, fire in the hole was both a command to the torch man, and a warning to all around.[citation needed] Over time cannons improved; they became safer, with no hole or fire needed. The command was reduced to fire, while the full phrase fire in the hole became a general warning for the use of explosive weapons.[citation needed] It was subsequently adopted by military forces to give notice that a grenade or satchel charge was being tossed into a bunker, spider hole, or other enclosure.[citation needed] The term frag out is also commonly used.[citation needed] It is not used for all explosions – throwing a grenade in the open is not announced, for example – only those surprisingly close. It is also commonly used by bomb disposal personnel in both civilian law enforcement and the military to alert nearby persons that a controlled detonation of a suspected bomb or unexploded ordnance is about to take place.[citation needed]".
