Balloon Facts

Ballooning originated in France in 1782 by the Montgolfier Brothers.
Early balloons were made of hand sewn materials with rope suspensions and were fueled by wood.
RE/MAX has the largest corporate hot air balloon fleet in the world, with over 90 hot air balloons.
Most RE/MAX hot air balloons have a volume of 90,000 cubic feet and stand over 7 stories tall.
A hot air balloon consists of three parts: the basket (gondola), the burner and the envelope).
The temperature inside the balloon can reach 275 degrees fahrenheit.
Hot air balloons are powered by a thirty-two million BTU burner. The burners could supply enough heat to keep approximately 350 homes warm over the winter.
Propane gas used to fuel the balloons is the same used in barbecues.
