Only the German Army had flamethrowers during WWI, and they were rarely useful because of the trench warfare style of battle. In 1915 the German Army developed some 6-man Flammenwerferapparaten teams and they participated in several hundred battles but with little effect. The primitive equipment was difficult to use and limited to a maximum range of about 60 feet (18 m). Stepping out of your trench with your Flammenwerfer was asking to get blown up in a ball of flame before you could get near the enemy's trench.
