Are they a risk to catch fire as they land or will they catch fire in the air?

We lit them over open water because we were afraid that if they came down lit it could possibly catch a fire somewhere.

Hi they catch fire when you hold them in your hands. Then when the air get warm they fly

They shouldn't slip off. They'll be easier to take off, but won't slip while playing.

They have wire in them and make of paper like material and it has to land somewhere... also they are hard to light so on beach usually is breezy so not sure you would be able to get them lit. I would not recommend them on beach...

I would recommend using them when there is no wind. We used half one night when there was a breeze and they came very close to some trees. When we used the rest there was no breeze and they went straight up. Once the fuel is burnt they will begin to come down. My only concern was ours had thin metal rods holding the candle and that could cause problems for wildlife. There are others that have bamboo sticks that I will definitely use in the future.

Depends how close. I had mine as a roof to my camp setup and it was only 5 feet off the ground with flames that nearly reached it. Never burned or had any trouble.

They are made with a candle like wax that would build up in chimneys and catch on fire, that would be my assumption.

I would bet that they would melt, they are rubber. They are great for taking a rack of food off of a fire, and I'm sure a skillet, but I wouldn't expose them to the actual burning coals or to a fire.

Hello Barbara. Yes...when it sparks...that is a good sign that the batteries have a good charge and the electricity is flowing. The smell is usually from the bugs being "fried"...at least that's been my experience. Am not certain about something catching on fire, but have not seen that possibility...

The outside of the heaters gets very hot, if there is hay or other flammable items floating around and it lands on the heating elements it could start a fire, these heaters are nice but they only produce a little bit of heat and a fair amount of light from the 3 heating elements.

Not that I know of, but unless they fall or get wet I don't see any really bad way that they can break or become inoperable.

No. They would likely fall. While I like them, I have had clothing occasionally fall off.

I doubt they are fire proof.they are made from either wood or a light weight resin..not metal.

First off, they should be used away from these obstacles, once airborne it is unlikely they will start a fire, the wax burns up and the paper comes down.

No, mine do not torn off when laid on their side. But, it doesn't get hot enough to catch anything on fire either. On the highest setting, the entire surface is quite warm, but you can still put your hand on it.

there is a wire at the bottom that creates the circle so it doesnt catch fire... other than that it is. :) they are beautiful!

Good idea. I would pay special attention to where your flame is though. I think you would have a fire hazard on your hands if these got anywhere close to an open flame.

I sure would NEVER attach anything to them. You can however write a message on the balloon itself before taking it out to fly. I would think that they are very light and the "fire" is fairly small, it may not give enough hot air to lift anything weightier than the balloon.
