Smoke Signal

Smoke signals are a type of pyrotechnic device that is used to create a visual signal by producing a cloud of colored smoke. They are typically used in emergency situations, military operations, or for signaling purposes in outdoor activities such as hiking or boating.

Smoke signals from the supply class Pyrotechnics in the supply group Ammunition and Explosives are designed to be ignited and produce a dense cloud of colored smoke when activated. They are usually made up of a canister or tube filled with a smoke-producing composition, which is ignited by a fuse or other ignition mechanism.

These smoke signals are commonly used to mark locations, indicate wind direction, or communicate distress signals in emergency situations. They are often available in different colors, such as red, orange, yellow, green, or blue, to provide better visibility and differentiation in various environments.

It is important to note that the use of smoke signals, like any pyrotechnic device, should be done with caution and in accordance with local laws and regulations. Proper training and knowledge of safety procedures are essential when handling and deploying smoke signals to ensure the safety of yourself and others.
