Sky Lanterns Pose Serious Risk of Injuries and Fires

SPRINGFIELD
– The Illinois Office of the State Fire Marshal (OSFM) has issued notice of the official ban of sky lanterns, also known as aerial luminaries or floating lanterns, in Illinois. Sky lanterns present a potential risk for injuries and fires. The paper made lanterns contain a small candle or fuel cell that when lit, heats the air into the lantern making it rise into the air. Sky lanterns travel a long distance without any control of their final destination.

Please see the link below for the full press release.
