The authors present for the first time, detailed, time-resolved spectra of a flare event of an Orion cluster flare star. These spectra, covering ≡λλ3600 - 4600, were obtained by using the Anglo-Australian Telescope with a fibre coupler to simultaneously monitor 23 flare stars in the region of the Orion Nebula. The flare spectra reveal continuous emission which filled in the photospheric Ca I 4226 Å absorption, and hydrogen Balmer, Ca II H and K, He I 4026 Å and He I 4471 Å line emission. Overall, the spectral behaviour indicates similarities to strong outbursts of the classical dMe flare stars.
