What does "mend the fire" mean?

"Mend the fire" means to take care of the fire. Cinderella is "mending the fire" to keep the fire burning. The word "mend" itself means to repair or fix and can be used in other sentences. However, American English speakers will typically use the word "repair." Ex: I am on the mend. (I am currently healing and taking care of my injuries) Ex: He is mending the torn shirt.
