DO NOT USE SKY LANTERNS!
Constructed using rice paper, string, and either a bamboo or wire frame, sky lanterns hold a candle or fuel cell that, when lit, causes them to rise high into the air and travel over great distances. These dangerous lanterns have been responsible for causing severe house and building fires, wildfires, and injuries to both humans and animals. Click this link for more information. |
