	Ballooning
		Usually less dangerous than hang gliding, ballooning is a method of flight that is often useful for military surveillance and as an alternative to small-cargo sea travel.
		Balloons come in several sizes, from the single man balloon, to one so gigantic that a small army could inhabit it.
		These balloons are called "hot air" balloons because the buoyancy of warm air is greater than that of cooler air, and thus the balloon rises.

		Fires in Balloon-frame Buildings: A chief officer, who was a student in a fire science course, described a fire which the first-due company reported as “outside rubbish.” The officer ordered some of the siding removed and found fire in the walls.
		Fire moving up or down through exterior stud channels can often best be stopped by removing siding from the outside at the second floor line, and eave and foundation lines.
		Fires in balloon-frame buildings should be observed from the exterior, by an officer specifically assigned to that function, and positioned far enough away to see the entire building.
