Incendiary balloon

Hey there, kiddo! Have you ever seen a balloon floating in the sky and wished it had something cool inside like confetti or glitter? Well, some people in certain parts of the world have been using balloons to do something not so cool. They put fire inside the balloons and send them up into the sky. These types of balloons are called incendiary balloons.

Now, do you know what "incendiary" means? It means something that can cause a fire or start a fire. So, when people send up incendiary balloons, they are hoping that they will cause a fire when they come back down to the ground.

This might sound like a fun activity to some people, but it's actually really dangerous. Incendiary balloons have caused fires that have destroyed homes, crops, and even hurt people. So, it's important to remember that while balloons can be fun and exciting to play with, we should never put anything inside them that can start a fire. Safety first, always!
