emergency flare
Roadside rescue light
An emergency flare is a device that produces bright light or colored smoke to signal distress or mark a location.
Flares are standard safety equipment on boats, aircraft, and in roadside emergency kits.
They burn intensely for a short period: She fired an emergency flare into the night sky.
Some are handheld, others are launched like small rockets.
