A flare dispenser for mounting on a vehicle such as an automobile or motorcycle supports a stack of conventional cylindrical flares each with an ignition tip at one end. The dispenser has an electrical igniter and an electrical solenoid for controlling the gravity descent of the flares in the stack, so that the lowermost flare is moved to a lowered position and then moved endwise to contact with the igniter to light the flare, which then falls to the highway. A wind deflection shield mounted on the vehicle in advance of the flare dispenser forms a pocket of relatively calm air into which the lighted flare falls. Remote controls on the vehicle operate the solenoid and the igniter, so that the flares may be ignited and dropped one at a time at desired intervals, while the vehicle is moving.
