emergency flares
Bright danger markers
Emergency flares are bright pyrotechnic devices used to signal distress or mark locations.
Boaters, hikers, and drivers carry them for emergencies—the intense red light is visible for miles and unmistakable as a call for help.
Road flares mark accident scenes or warn of hazards ahead.
