We used parachute flares in the USCG to light up the area for rescues, and for signalling. Very bright.

I have one still, but I am disinclined to use it; I no longer go out on the ocean, and it could very well start a fire if used anywhere there was something on the ground for it to start the fire - we always used them over water, and most went out before reaching the water, but they would have been very hot nonetheless and some were still burning - it depends on the angle you use and how high the flare went as a result.
