Default What's inside a flare?


Hello hello,

I apologise if this has been asked many times before but a google
search isn't helping me. I can't believe I can't find the answers to
what I thought would be simple questions!

1) What is inside a flare? What part glows and flies in the air?

2) If hit in the face at close range (1 - 2 metres) what would the
effect be? Knocked out? Dazed? Nothing?

3) If someone were foolish enough to fire a flare inside, could it
bounce off a wall and set fire to curtain, rug etc.?

I'm a writer and need to know if what I'm writing is plausible or utter crap.

Cheers
