ROAD FLARES - WHAT ARE THE POSSIBLE DANGERS OF THE USE OF COMBUSTIBLE FLARES

Do combustible Flares cause fires?
Combustible Flares are a very good invention, which has its advantages in the speed of use and simplicity. These flares are actually designed to protect people and the environment in case of danger or accidents. Usually, they do this as well. Nevertheless, there is a significant potential danger. Flammable flares contain combustible or at least hazardous chemicals and can cause serious injuries and even fires if triggered incorrectly.

• CARE-FLARE® does not burn but works with a High-Power LED light and batteries. Already in the construction, it is so that no fires can be released. Because the batteries are also encased in thick aluminum, they protect the environment from the energy of the batteries. No LI-ION batteries are used but only harmless C-cells.

  
  
  
  

The safety instructions for the Combustible Flares are strictly observed.
The Combustible Flares are carried in the vehicle itself and bring an increased danger for the passengers. Especially in case of accidents with the vehicle in which they are carried. The partially different safety guidelines for Combustible Flares are to be strictly followed in order not to injure anyone, to set fire to the accident or own car, or to the vegetation.

• No special safety instructions apply to CARE-FLARE®. The use of CARE-FLARE® is easy and quick to learn. It is also very safe to carry in a vehicle. Provided, of course, that the CARE-FLARE® is stowed appropriately.

Combustible Flares require a safe distance
Combustible Flares should not be placed directly next to the car, but at a sufficient distance from it. On the one hand because to guarantee a warning function this must happen early enough, on the other hand, because of the danger of flammable materials. As a guideline can be considered: The maximum speed in this place is taken as the distance in meters for the placement of the flares. It is also important to make sure that there is no flammable vegetation in the vicinity.

• The specialty of CARE-FLARE® is the extremely strong warning at a distance. For this reason, CARE-FLARE® can be placed closer to the accident vehicle, thus shortening the time needed to set it up. Nevertheless, the recommended distances should be observed.

Lighting and Combustible Flares
Although it may seem that Combustible Flares are easy and quick to use, in practice this is not always the case. Gloves and safety goggles are recommended when lighting flares. The flares are held away from the body but still have the potential to ignite clothing. Extinguishing them is not without danger either. They normally continue to burn for up to 30 or 60 minutes. Either way, fumes or chemicals can sometimes be an environmental hazard. Whereby one or other manufacturer emphasizes harmlessness.

• CARE-FLARE® is much easier, less dangerous, and more environmentally friendly to use. At the latest here you can see the true potential of the clever and well-thought-out design of these Emergency Flares.

Combustible Flares need a “little” more attention
The bottom line is that working with Combustible Flares requires more time and attention. You have to place them further away, you need protective clothing, you have to replace the flares after 30/60 minutes and you should also check if they roll away from time to time unless you have used a special flare holder. You have to dispose of them after use. And you may still need another tool because you can’t use them for everything.

• CARE-FLARE® is much more efficient. It is a tool that you can use for almost any purpose and that requires a minimum of your attention. The goal is that you can fully concentrate on your mission and not on the management of emergency flares.
