Fusees

FUSEE. (See also, ILLUMINATION, SIGNAL) A fusee, or flare, is a type of pyrotechnical projectile that produces a very bright light for an extended period of time without the inconvenience of a loud and destructive explosion. Most fusees can burn for at least 10 minutes and can reach up to 1500 Celsius in temperature. Fusees are generally used to mark a location, create a source of light, or to signal for help.
