" Hi! Jeff Thomson here with Thomson Air Hot Air Balloon Rides and Expert Village. Well time to get this balloon stood up. We are going to turn on the fuel lines, engage the fuel tanks and fire it up. This is the most critical time of the inflation process because at this point you can very easily damage your balloon by the immense heat these burners put out. As we add the heat to the balloon the balloon will slowly fill up to its full round shape. At this point our fan is still running adding air to the balloon to fill it out. As that air adds we add little more heat and the balloon will be slowly stand up and be ready for flight."
