A flare was a very crude form of lighting - just a large flame, not with a mantle which gave a more intense white light and were no doubt safer. Indoors they were probably gas. Outdoors they could be paraffin - my dad when he was a kid had a job on a market stall which was lit by paraffin flares when it was dusk; he put one in the wrong place and set the stall on fire!
