On one of our ROTC field-training exercises we were required to fire flares.  A fellow cadet and I managed to misfire and start a brush fire.  We immediately called range control, and they promptly responded with fire-fighting equipment to put out the blaze.  I had to set off a second flare and it, too, misfired, causing another fire.  Once again, I called range control.  Two weeks later our unit received a commendation for quick fire reporting.
