incendiary flare


Explanation:
An incendiary device used to issue a safety or distress signal.

-> "Incendiary flares are popular over water as they simply fall to the water when spent- mitigating potential fire hazard. Due to the pyrotechnic nature of incendiary flares, they are regulated and their shipment may carry a surcharge."
