What does FUSEE mean in Scrabble?
noun
technical
A bright-burning flare, often mounted on a spike, used to warn oncoming traffic or trains of danger on a road or railway track.
A fusee burns with a strong red flame for several minutes, which makes it useful at night or in poor visibility when a stalled vehicle or a stopped train needs a clear warning well before other traffic reaches it. Rail crews and truck drivers traditionally carried these flares in emergency kits, planting the spiked end into the ground so the device stood upright and stayed visible. Because open flames carry fire risk, many transport operators have since switched to battery-powered lights, though the older term survives in older safety manuals.
How FUSEE is used
Chiefly used in North American railway and roadside-safety writing, now often replaced by electronic warning lights.
