A flare apparatus including a shell base, an explosive assembly carried by the shell base, a flare cover interference fit onto the shell base and having a closed end surface away from the shell base which is convex, a flare composition located in the interior space defined by the flare cover and a fire composition on or in proximity to the flare composition. The present flares are straight forward in construction, easy and inexpensive to produce and provide substantial benefits, for example, attaining higher altitudes when used.
