why do the lifeboat crew fire a flare into the sky when there is an emergency??

Answer 1

so other rescue people can see and know where they are, especially if the waves are high and no one can really see the boat on the water. come one, that was a stupid question. how about u go back to school, or go somewhere to learn reasoning in the logical world.

Answer 2

The initial flare is fired from the lifeboat station,this is the traditional call out for the crew,although they are all reached by telephone or radio, flares are fired at sea as aguide to their location

Answer 3

Because a fire flare is an emergency tool in the sea and is save to human beings

Answer 4

originally, lifeboat crews fired flares into the sea.
the RNLI now insists that flares are far more effective if fired sky- wards

Answer 5

i'd if I stay the position a lifeboat replaced into interior sight, I stay about 30 minutes from my nearest lifeboat, so the crew may have left by skill of time I arrived, I help them even as ever i'm able to. they're courageous people

Answer 6

to give an audible signal to the crew members of the lifeboat who live and work in the immediate area to immediately attend the lifeboat station. crews are voluntary so they are not always at the station.

Answer 7

To announce that they are in distress (hence the name of those flares: distress flares) and alert other vessels and/or aircraft in the vicinity.
