I know I've seen these on several M&G posts, so I thought I would pass this along....

PIKESVILLE, Md. (AP) - The Maryland State Fire Marshal's Office says it's banning a type of burning, airborne decoration called a "sky lantern."
The agency said Friday that the balloon-shaped devices can return to earth and start fires.
Sky lanterns are popular in East Asia. They are typically made of oiled rice paper on a bamboo frame. A lighted candle or fuel cell heats the air inside the device, causing it to soar upward.
The agency says some other states have also banned the devices.
