Subject: Were piled high gen.
Подскажите, плиз, как в данном случае перевести PILED HIGH.
The city was in the grip of the first cold wave of the year. For two days the rain
had fallen — a nasty, drizzling rain which made the going soggy and caused people
to greet one another with frowns. Late that afternoon the mercury had started a
rapid downward journey.
Fires were PILED HIGH in the furnaces, automobile-owners poured alcohol into
their radiators. The streets were deserted early, and the citizens, for the most part,
had retired shiveringly under mountains of blankets and down quilts still redolent
of moth-balls.
Заранее спасибо!

Дрова в печках были навалены высокими кучами, если дословно))
В смысле - огонь разводили пожарче
