If you want to see a good flare demonstration, rent the movie Cape Fear

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
