What are those things called that appear when you blow on a fire?

July 8, 2011 Camping Heater

Basically, what are those things called that burn and float around a camp fire when you blows on it? (I think they are present when you mainly burn paper.)

Anyone that can help me out would be greatly appreciated!
No… I don’t mean the ash, sparks, or embers. I mean literally those things that float out of the fire and are light up. It might be paper fragments or something. I found the word a few days ago, but I can’t remember it.
