A handheld emergency flare with a cylindrical body, approximately 30cm in length and 3cm in diameter, featuring a textured grip for secure handling. The top end has a slightly conical shape where the ignition mechanism is located, with a visible pull-ring for activation. The body is made of a durable, slightly weathered red plastic with a matte finish, while the base is metallic with minor scratches and dents from use. When ignited, it emits a bright, vibrant red light with a subtle smoke trail, casting dynamic shadows in the environment.
