Sponser a Flare – A flare is a type of pyrotechnic that produces a brilliant light or intense heat without an explosion. The basic form is a tube packed with explosive chemicals that burn very brightly or give off smoke, and is used to attract attention in an emergency. Handheld flares (which operate on the ground) and rocket flares (which are fired into the air) are the two most commonly used as visual distress signals because they can be used for day
or night.
