Hmmm. I can think of at least two potential articles that might take precedence for this article title - signalling flares (the kind you use when your boat's about to sink), and those appalling 70's fashion items. Shift this to "Flare Corporation", perhaps? --Robert Merkel

I just added as many different meanings as I could think of in one sitting. I'm not sure if any of them is large enough to warrant splitting this article up just yet, but if anyone adds to them perhaps the parent directory can be made into a linklist. :) Bryan Derksen

I have removed the military POV of this article, maybe that will remove some objections. The Hokkaido Crow 17:33, 2 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Merging distress rockets into flares

I saw this new stub and i was pretty sure that distress rockets were the same as flares. Also the story about the titanic seems not correct. Thanks Leah (talk) 17:19, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
