Chapter 01 | 02 | 03 | 04 | 05 | 06 | EPILOGUE

********************

At what point do you stop calling them shorts and start calling them panties?

That’s the question Hoseok ponders when he walks into the kitchen to find you precariously perched on tiptoes, straining to reach for something in an overhead cabinet. He lets his gaze linger over the soft skin of your legs, up to your thighs, up higher to where he can damned near see the swell of your ass peeking out from that obscene little scrap of cloth.

What he does next is probably unwise.

What he does next is approach silently from behind, pressing one hand into the small of your back as he reaches over you to get a hold of the jar you’re struggling to grab. And if he enjoys the way your body jolts with surprise beneath his fingertips or the way your hair smells when he’s this close, then that’s his business and no one else’s.

“Thank you,” you murmur, avoiding his eyes and for a moment Hoseok thinks you’re going to scold him for being so bold.

But you don’t.

*********************

Hoseok shouldn’t be toying with you right now and he knows it. It’s not like you’ve ever been an open book with him, but these past few days you’ve been even more withdrawn -- more in your head than ever before.

Not that you don’t have your reasons.

Shit is off the rails with your case and you’re living with a complete stranger and someone left a live fucking snake in your bedroom a few nights ago.

So if Hoseok has noticed that you walk around in a fog — that the fire he used to see inside of you from time to time seems extinguished — well, that’s certainly understandable.

But he can’t help but wonder if there’s something more to your melancholy. He can’t help but wonder if you actually hold a candle for that idiot you left reeling at the restaurant.

Hoseok can’t stop thinking about that guy.

There is a feeling he can’t shake and it’s not just the urge to beat Kang Donghyuk to a pulp. Hoseok can’t shake the feeling that beneath the dopey smile and the lazy charm and the overall benign affect, there’s something more.

Something Hoseok is determined to figure out.

So he leaves you to your cooking in the kitchen and retreats to the privacy of his room to phone Seokjin. If this piece of shit is up to something, Hoseok is going to make it his personal mission to find it.

And if he finds something?

Then Hoseok will make it his personal mission to make him pay.

***********************

YOU

“Amsaja -- with Hoseok. Try being nice.”

You think back to your brother’s words as you stand just outside the door to Hoseok’s room, fist raised to knock. But you don’t, at least not right away.

What is your fucking problem?

You remind yourself that you are a grown woman, not some skittish little girl. You remind yourself that Jung Hoseok is just a man.

And then you get a grip.

The door opens after one light knock. You don’t mean to stare, truly you don’t -- but Hoseok is wearing one of those goddamned tank tops again. What happened to suits all day and all night? Suits are a hell of a lot less distracting.

“What’s up?” he asks cautiously.

Your eyes dart from his face to his chest to his arms and finally settle around his neck, where a pair of dog tags hang from a silver chain. You had nearly forgotten that Jung Hoseok made a career of the military before he was one of your brother’s right-hand men.

“I made some Samgyetang,” you say lamely, gesturing to the bowl of soup in your hands.

I made it for you.

“And it’s uh, supposed to be good for a cold,” you add, when he says nothing.

Which you have.

“So, I -- ” you clear your throat, shift your weight back and forth on your feet, “ -- made some.”

For you.

Hoseok stares at the bowl like you’ve brought him a grenade instead of a meal. The puzzled look on his face makes you feel awkward, makes the entire gesture seem silly.

“Never mind,” you say under your breath, turning on your heels.

“Wait --” Hoseok calls quickly, stepping out of his room to follow you, “ -- I didn’t -- I was just surprised, that’s all.”

“It’s just soup,” you say over your shoulder, trying like hell to sound casual and not at all offended.

Hoseok keeps pace behind you into the kitchen; commands your attention with one firm hand on your arm. You turn to face him, averting your gaze from the sweatpants that hang low on his hips and the thin cotton that grips every muscle of his lean chest.

“I didn’t mean to make that weird,” Hoseok says quietly. “Thank you. It’s been a long time since I’ve had homemade Samgyetang.”

You pull your arm out of his hold.

“Well, it’s there if you want it,” you shrug, brushing past him.

It’s a relief to trade the charged air of the kitchen for the uncomplicated quiet of your room.

*************************

Hyejin takes her reading glasses off to rub the bridge of her nose.

“I’m not even kidding about my eyesight being shot,” she sighs, reaching for her coffee cup. “It gets worse every day and the print on these depositions does not help.”

“I know,” you mumble, highlighter flying over your own set of fine print. “Sorry.”

“Hey, at least we’re in this together,” she smiles. “Right?”

Her face falls when you don’t return the gesture.

It’s not exactly a secret that you haven’t been firing on all cylinders lately. You are so worn out from the shit going on at work and the shit going on at home that it feels like you don’t have much more to give. You just want to climb into bed and sleep for a week straight.

If only you had that luxury.

Instead, you’re back at it with Hyejin today, trying to figure out a way around the missing digital evidence you so desperately need. The loss of those files was a terrible setback, but you refuse to let it be the end. You still have an entire warehouse full of confiscated guns under lock and key.

Now you just need to get your head in the game.

“You still going to the gala tomorrow night?” Hyejin asks, sipping her coffee.

So much for getting your head in the game.

“Not sure,” you murmur, underlining a key part of the testimony. “Lots of shit going on right now.”

“Yeah, I know things between you and Donghyuk got weird,” Hyejin says carefully.

You stop yourself from laughing out loud.

Donghyuk is so far down your list of fires to fight, you’d nearly forgotten him completely. You probably could forget him if you weren’t subjected to his dirty looks every time the two of you cross paths at the office. You’ve made at least two very awkward cups of coffee standing side-by-side in the past week alone -- but honestly, you can’t bring yourself to care.

“That’s -- “ you start and stop before continuing, “ -- not really an issue right now.”

“Okay, sure,” Hyejin concedes. “Just don’t forget that I’m here if you need someone to talk to, alright? You don’t always have to take everything on by yourself.”

You stop your incessant highlighting to look up at your friend and colleague.

Concern is written all over her pretty face and for a moment you entertain the thought of opening up to her. The idea of talking about what’s going on is tempting -- like if you could share just a piece of your burden you could relieve some of the pressure inside of you. But there’s another part of you that worries that you are too pent up to let go of any of this. A part of you that feels like all it will take is one tiny crack for the entire dam to give.

You finally manage to muster one weak smile for your friend, who seems relieved to see any display of emotion out of you.

“Thanks, Hye. I’ll keep that in mind.”

***********************

You almost skipped tonight. Almost.

But you’d already bought a dress and the tickets were paid for and Hoseok didn’t even flinch when you told him you had to go to a black-tie event.

If only you could say the same for the moment you saw him in the living room.

When Hoseok turned at the sound of your heels on the marble floor, with hands tucked into the pockets of his bespoke black tux, you nearly forgot to breathe. All of the coordinating details, the slim-cut jacket and the perfectly-styled hair and the carefully-crafted bow tie felt like a gut punch.

You’d silently prayed that Hoseok didn’t catch the way your eyes lingered on him for just a beat too long -- or that he didn’t spot the heat you could feel creeping up your neck and into your cheeks. The color that must have been made all the more obvious against the rose shade of your gown.

“You ready?”

Hoseok interrupts your thoughts with his usual business-like tone. The one that tells you that this inner monologue about how incredible he looks tonight is painfully one-sided.

You nod, not trusting yourself to use your words.

All things considered, the situation with Donghyuk couldn’t have gone south at a better time. He would have been your date for the night were it not for the blow up at dinner -- and it certainly would have drawn unwanted attention to have two men at your side all evening.

Though with the way Hoseok looks tonight, you imagine the attention will come anyway.

*********************

There are few things in life rich people enjoy more than pretending to give a shit about poor ones.

They make sport of it, jockeying for position in front of the cameras, gladly shelling out hundreds of thousands of won a plate to prove just how much they care. They spend their evenings drinking top-shelf liquor and eating top-notch catering and convincing themselves that they’re making some kind of sacrifice for the greater good.

A string quartet plays softly in the background as guests mill about, grabbing drinks and hors d'oeuvres off of passing trays. Hoseok is at your side, a glass of water in hand. He is just close enough for you to take in his heady, masculine smell -- but not too close.

You hate that he smells this good.

You hate that he looks this good.

You have tried -- and failed -- to ignore the appreciative stares he’s gotten from some of the gala guests. You already caught one woman ogling outright, gawking unrepentantly while at her own date’s side. When a cocktail server walks by with a carefully-balanced offering of champagne flutes, you grab one right away.

Hoseok, as usual, takes nothing.

You sip your champagne and watch him watching the room.

He certainly looks the part of a society player tonight in his tux, the occasional wrinkle of his nose the only indicator of his disdain for the men and women drinking and dancing around him. When a woman bumps into him while carrying a plate of appetizers, he holds out a hand to help her keep upright and she damned near melts at his reassuring smile.

“Oh, thank you,” she breathes deeply before her eyes dart in your direction.

You look away.

Not once have you ever seen this man smile, and he’s certainly never smiled at you. You turn to slam the rest of your champagne and put the empty flute on a nearby table just as another cocktail server passes with a full tray of drinks.

How fortuitous. You grab another.

There’s a few more minutes of mingling before the guests are asked to take a seat at their assigned tables. Hoseok holds out your chair and you accept.

The interaction, like always, is silent.

You look up from the perfectly staged spread to spot Donghyuk two tables away. Even from a distance you can tell his cheeks look ruddy — like he’s already had way too much to drink. He narrows his eyes when he realizes you are looking and you lift your champagne flute to tip a sarcastic salute in his direction. He scowls back.

“Miss Kim,” a deep voice interrupts your petty exchange. “What a pleasant coincidence.”

You force a smile when your boss and his wife unexpectedly fill two empty seats at your table.

“Mr. Park,” you return quietly. “Nice to see you tonight. And Mrs. Park, of course.”

Mrs. Park’s answering smile is warm and genuine, but the same cannot be said of her husband’s. Of course, the last conversation you had with him one-on-one, he’d practically thrown you out of his office. The smile on his face right now is a bit watery.

“It’s so nice to see you dear,” Mrs. Park says sweetly. “And who is this handsome fellow?”

You falter when you open your mouth to answer, but Hoseok smoothly interjects.

“Yi Sang, ma’am. Pleasure to meet you.”

You close your mouth and turn to smile woodenly at Hoseok, who doesn’t bother to look back.

“Mr. Yi,” your boss extends his hand for a firm handshake, but a strange look passes over his face. “The pleasure is ours.”

Hoseok’s mouth pulls into a tight smile and you down what’s left of your champagne.

A couple you don’t recognize join your table before dinner is served. You do your best to appear engaged in the small talk; nodding when appropriate, smiling during the awkward pauses. But there is an emptiness in you tonight. You spend the entire meal pushing the artfully-arranged dishes around your plate because you find you have no desire for food.

The same cannot be said for the champagne, though. That’s going down quite nicely. Your server dutifully brings another flute as soon as yours is empty.

“I must commend you, Miss Kim, on forging ahead with this case,” Mr. Park says, when the plates have been cleared and after-dinner coffee is being served. “I know it hasn’t been easy after the theft of your files.”

“Oh,” you clear your throat. “Yes, well -- I’m doing my best with what I have left.”

“Of course. It’s important we do what we can to bring these low-lives to justice,” Mr. Kim says slowly. He looks from you to Hoseok with an expression that stops just short of a challenge and the champagne in your stomach seems to come to life. “Organized crime in this city is out of hand. We can’t allow Seoul to descend into chaos because of the trash making a living off of guns and drugs.”

Trash like your brother.

“Right,” you say quietly, swallowing past a lump in your throat. “I’ll do my best.”

Hoseok remains composed at your side, but you don’t miss how his knuckles go white as his grip around the water glass tightens.

Trash like Hoseok.

You swallow another mouthful of champagne.

The couple sitting next to the Parks -- oblivious to the friction at the table -- strike up a conversation about the dessert selection and you’ve never been more glad for small talk. The tension in the air slowly dissipates.

But you keep drinking.

Hoseok leans into you, lips so close they nearly brush the shell of your ear and your entire body goes still. Goosebumps bloom all over when you feel his breath against your skin.

“You should eat something,” he murmurs.

You could almost laugh at the way your stomach seems to fall with disappointment. What were you expecting him to say? Something complimentary? Something reassuring?

What a joke.

All at once you decide you need space, you need air, you need a break from the bullshit you seem to be taking from all sides tonight.

Hoseok’s eyebrows lift as you stand from your seat.

“If you’ll excuse me,” you announce to the table, “I need to visit the powder room.”

The champagne seems to hit you the moment you stand and you have to work hard at keeping your steps steady as you make your way out of the ballroom.

You would never admit it, but Hoseok is right.

You really should eat something.

***********************

hoseok: text me or i’m coming in [11:02 PM ]

You stand in the mirror and stare at your reflection in the dim lighting of the ladies’ room. You’ve been to dozens of these events over the years and it’s never felt as pointless and unnatural to you as it does right now. A part of you hates how much you’ve tied yourself into knots seeking the validation of these pompous assholes. So desperate to be chosen by the chosen few.

hoseok: last chance [11:06 PM ]

Another part of you hates Hoseok.

You hate his constant presence and his constant silence and his constant judgement. It always feels like he’s punishing you for some transgression you don’t even know you’ve committed. Your phone buzzes with a reminder of the waiting texts and you sigh, unlocking the screen to fire off an answer before Hoseok makes good on his threat to storm his way in.

you: i’m fine. be right out [ 11:08 PM ]

You take one last look in the mirror. Have you always looked this tired?

Before dinner -- after you’d meticulously primped for tonight -- you’d been satisfied with what you saw in the mirror. Now all you can see are the shadows under your eyes, the grim set of your mouth. Is this what other people see when they look at you, too?

A knock sounds on the door and you blow out an exasperated breath. Hoseok must be tired of waiting for you to wrap this pity party. You yank the door open with more force than intended, fully prepared to tell him to fuck off.

But it’s Donghyuk on the other side.

You stare at him.

“What do you want?” you hiss, stepping out into the hallway.

“I just want to talk,” Donghyuk says coolly, standing just a bit too close. You grimace at the smell of liquor on his breath. “You still haven’t given me a chance to thank you personally for making me look like an asshole at dinner the other day.”

“Oh, honey -- you don’t need my help to look like an asshole,” you fire back, pushing more space in between you with a firm shove of your fingers to his shoulder. “You do a fine job of that all on your own.”

His laughter blows whiskey-tinged hot air in your direction and you make a face.

“I see you upgraded the bodyguard to dinner date.”

“Shut up, Donghyuk, honestly,” you seethe. You try to step around him to leave, but he blocks you with his body.

“You fucking him now, too?”

You barely register the movement of your own hand before it’s connecting with the side of Donghyuk’s face. You barely register Hoseok’s arrival before he’s between you both, pulling you away and practically shoving Donghyuk to the floor. You barely hear Hoseok’s whispered threats and you nearly miss the way he unbuttons his jacket to ensure Donghyuk sees his gun.

The whole debacle is so fast and so surreal you could almost convince yourself you imagined it.

But there is no imagining the sting still throbbing in your palm.

*****************************

HOSEOK

The trouble tonight started long before you smacked the shit out of Kang Donghyuk.

The trouble started when you walked out of your room in that goddamned gown. Hoseok had not been entirely prepared for you in that dress.

He had only a split second to make sure he wasn’t staring. He jammed his hands into his pockets and forced the most casual demeanor he could muster, but fuck it wasn’t easy. There were a hundred things he could have said in that moment, would have said in that moment -- if you weren’t you and if he weren’t him.

Of course, dinner was a bit of a clusterfuck, too.

Playing dress up with the city’s elites was somehow less enjoyable than Hoseok imagined it would be. The stares from tipsy society girls and the critical looks from their dates were bad enough but your boss laying it on thick with the white knight bullshit at the end was the real icing on the cake. The coded language and the veiled threats that made loud and clear he knew exactly what Hoseok was but wouldn’t say it out loud.

Hoseok saw the way you seemed to retreat even further into yourself during the exchange, silent and thinking.

And drinking.

Hoseok has only ever seen you enjoy the occasional glass of wine with meals. Tonight was an entirely different story. You were on a mission to get wrecked from the moment you sat down; forgoing food for an alarming amount of champagne. Hoseok counted four glasses down before he decided to say something.

Of course, that went over about as well as he’d expected -- and seconds later, you were walking away.

Hoseok hadn’t planned on following you to the bathroom. He hadn’t planned on overhearing the nasty back-and-forth in the hall . And he hadn’t planned on threatening to kill Kang Donghyuk at some ridiculous charity dinner. But when he saw the man get up from his seat to follow you -- Hoseok moved on auto-pilot.

There was no avoiding what came next.

**********************

You don’t utter a single word on the ride home.

You don’t say a word when Hoseok walks you upstairs, unlocks the door to usher you inside. He’s still securing the new deadbolts when he hears your bedroom door slam shut.

Hoseok scrubs a hand over his face and sighs deeply before loosening the bow tie and slipping it off.

Then he pulls out his phone to text Seokjin.

hoseok: you on him? [ 11:48 PM ]

seokjin: sleeping it off in his car right now. what a slob [ 11:49 PM ]

seokjin: you’re welcome btw [ 11:49 PM ]

hoseok: thx [ 11:50 PM ]

Seconds later, your bedroom door swings open so hard it bounces back off the opposite wall. Hoseok looks up from his phone just as you are storming into the living room, hands still securing the belt to the short robe you’ve just changed into.

You are positively vibrating with a dangerous energy Hoseok can feel clear across the room. Maybe you’ve been sleepwalking through these past few days, but you are definitely awake now.

And angry.

“I don’t need you to win my fights,” you fume, pointing one hostile finger in his direction. “I took care of myself long before you came along and I can take care of myself now.”

Christ, do you have any idea how little you are wearing right now?

Hoseok focuses on that accusing finger because it keeps him from staring at your legs. It also keeps him from opening his mouth and making you madder than you already are.

“I don’t need you or anyone else swooping in with that macho bullshit,” you hiss, bringing your body within inches of his. “I have had enough of men running and ruining every aspect of my life.”

Shit, do you have any idea how close you are right now?

Hoseok can smell the perfume that lingers on your skin when you’re this close. He can see how your pupils are blown wide and your cheeks are flushed with heat when you’re this close.

“Say something,” you demand, jabbing your finger into his chest. “Do something.”

Fuck, you are playing with fire.

You want a fight and Hoseok is this close to giving you one. He has to summon every ounce of his self control to keep his voice and breathing steady. He fists his hands at his sides to keep them from moving.

“You’ve had too much to drink,” he replies with careful calm. “You should go to bed.”

“Or what?” you challenge, fingers reaching to unfasten the top buttons of his dress shirt. Hoseok’s entire body tenses under your touch.

“What the hell are you doing?” he says between gritted teeth.

“Checking for a heartbeat,” you murmur. “Looking for signs of life. Is there a real man in there?”

There’s a real man in here, alright, Hoseok thinks darkly. Keep pushing me and you’re going to find out.

“Of course not,” you whisper to yourself, snaking one hand into the collar of his shirt. He flinches when your fingertips brush up against the cool metal of his dog tags. “You’re some kind of robot.”

You pull the tags out from under his collar and Hoseok swallows thickly.

“Just a machine programmed to follow orders, right? My brother’s orders. The Army’s orders,” you pause to read the embossed letters on his tags. ‘Isn’t that right, Captain Jung?”

You gasp when Hoseok’s hand comes up to seize yours. His fingers circle the delicate bones of your wrist and he doesn’t let go, applying a pressure that sure as hell gets your attention.

“People like me follow orders so people like you don’t have to,” Hoseok seethes. “People like me do the dirty work so people like you can impress rich assholes at stupid parties. People like me stay behind and handle our responsibilities so people like you can walk away from yours.”

Your stare at him for a moment, eyes wide at his outburst. Then you jerk your wrist out of his hold so violently you nearly fall back with the force of it.

Hoseok freezes when your robe slides down off your shoulder. He stares when his eyes settle on the jagged scar that runs deep across your collarbone.

Fucking hell.

Hoseok traded one bloody business for another when he gave up his rank in the Army for his rank in the Gajog. He’s seen more than his fair share of vicious cuts and nasty wounds.

Whoever did that to you wanted to make sure you’d have to carry it with you for the rest of your life.

********************

Tomorrow morning, Hoseok is gonna regret a lot of shit that happened tonight.

He’s going to regret not telling you how beautiful you looked when you walked out of that room. He’s going to regret going out of his way to hurt you with his words.

But most of all, he’s going to regret the moment he looked into your face and saw the anger in your eyes change over into pain.

You yank the robe back over your shoulder, cinch the belt tight — and walk away without another word.

Hi Verdi!! Happy Friday and welcome to DADWC! From sensory prompts: " fireworks close enough to feel in your chest " perhaps for our good Kirkwall Carta leader Revka?

Hi, Blue! Happy Friday to you, too. For @dadrunkwriting I give you: Revka Cadash and the Big Bang

Revka Cadash had never seen a… ‘fire-work?’

She leaned in and adjusted her spectacles, narrowing her eyes at the crate label before her. The newest shipment from her cousin, Jon, had just arrived from Tevinter, an event that always promised much excitement at Graywater Imports. Jon always sent the most interesting and exotic curios and merchandise for Revka to sell—with a little extra just for her, of course—but today’s shipment was exceptionally puzzling. Almost as much as that strange ‘knitting machine’ he’d sent a few years back.

‘Acme Brothers: Finest Purveyors of Fireworks and Crackers since 8:27,’ the crate read. Revka shrugged. Seemed the Acme brothers knew what they were doing, at least, if they’d been making crackers for a hundred years…

“May as well open it,” she said to her men, “carefully. Don’t break up the crackers, yeah? We’ll have to sell ‘em at a discount, otherwise. Verdin, get that Fereldan cheese from the back, we’ll try some Vint crackers.”

Her second-in-command nodded and departed, the others cautiously prying open the lid. Revka and the others huddled in, eager to see. Rows upon rows of colorful paper cylinders were nestled in straw; a string peeped out from the bright turquoise paper top, seemingly tying it closed. Revka picked one from the straw for inspection.

“Never saw a parcel like this before,” she said. “Clever little knot; can’t even see it.”

“But, Lady Cadash,” a dwarf said, “the paper’s twisted around it, not the other way round. See?” He fetched the candle from the desk, holding it close to the paper-clad tube for better light. He and Revka both leaned in…

And that was when everything went wrong.

In his haste to show Revka his discovery, the Carta dwarf had accidently held the flame too close, setting the string in question alight. Acrid smoke tickled Revka’s nose; her blue eyes widened.

“Shite,” she cursed, pinching the string to extinguish it, but alas. The stubborn thing smoldered and burned at an unnatural pace. Revka dropped the hissing, sparking parcel in alarm… in the crate, with all the other fireworks.

“Take cover!” she cried, diving behind the counter.

The room exploded into brilliant crimson as the parcels erupted into shrieking flames, ricocheting around the warehouse. Thunderous booms and bangs shook Revka down to her core; the very ground quaked under her feet from the ferocity of the force. Sparks flooded forth from the crate in a fountain of light, spraying onto nearby barrels and sacks. They also started smoldering, much to Revka’s dismay. She dodged a red ball of flame and clambered for a bucket, choking on the blue smoke filling the room.

“Put it out!” she cried, amidst shouts and chaos. Waves of water flew through the air, dousing bolts of Antivan silk and Imperial velvet. Revka grimaced; that had to have been fifty sovereigns worth of Rivaini spiced tea that just got soaked with water. And not just any water, no: it was the fetid, gray-brown harbor that gave Graywater its name… and smelled distinctly of old cabbage. Revka wrinkled her nose at it.

“Cinnamon and cabbage. Oh joy.” She heaved a sigh. Ancestors, she’d never get this out of her clothes, would she? Eventually, the room aired out, the smoke dissipating to reveal the damage done. The crate had burst during the explosion, shards of wood lodging themselves in the plaster and furniture from the blast. Burn marks pocked the walls and shelves from the embers; even Revka’s prized counter, the mahogany one she’d imported all the way from Antiva, hadn’t been spared. Revka heaved another sigh, pinching the bridge of her nose.

“Nothin’ a good buff won’t fix, my lady,” one of the men said, noticing her staring. “I’ll have it good as new by tomorrow.”

“Thanks, Elgar,” she said, smile tired. “Seems we’ll need some whitewash for the walls. And a broom.” She surveyed the slivers scattered across the floor, not unlike caltrops. “Make that brooms, in the plural—”

“I’ve got the cheese!” Verdin announced, carrying several platters. He stopped short at the threshold. “W-What happened? A fire?”

Revka rolled her eyes, “of sorts. What were ye doin’ in there, milking the cows? Who takes so long to cut cheese?”

Verdin shifted on his feet, “I… didn’t know what kind you wanted, so I cut all of them.”

She blinked. “A-All of it? Ye mean—” She leaned against the counter. Three wheels of the finest Fereldan cheese, sacrificed on knock-off silver platters to a horde of stinking, half-singed Carta with bits of blue paper in their beards. Sounded like a typical Tuesday to her.

“The sooner we finish cleaning, the sooner we can eat,” she announced. “Cheese and…” she couldn’t help but scoff a laugh. “Cheese and the finest Vint ‘crackers’ money can buy.”

Why Fire Extinguisher Company in Brooklyn Suggest its Servicing?

It is vital to keep fire extinguishers in good working order. It's necessary not just because it's a legal necessity, but also because fire extinguisher company in Brooklyn or elsewhere play a critical role in putting out flames before they get out of hand, so they have to operate when they're needed most.

Possible Reasons for Fire Extinguisher Service

If you've been putting off having your fire extinguishers serviced, consider the following five reasons why they should be done regularly:

1. Leaks That Could Happen

Subtle leaks can develop, rendering the extinguisher ineffective. Some extinguishers contain pressure gauges that may be used to check for leaks, but not all do, therefore leaks may be difficult to detect.

2. Damage That is Difficult to See

Damage or degeneration in hard-to-see regions can occur over time. Corrosion of aluminum or steel extinguishers, for example, can occur on the interior, reducing the cylinder's integrity over time. A professional company rendering fire extinguisher service in Brooklyn can find it easily and get it rectified.

3. Vital Labels Should Be Displayed

Fire Extinguishers, even when not in use, suffer from regular wear and tear over time, especially if they are kept outside or in a busy warehouse. Fading, illegible maintenance labels are one probable outcome of this wear. These labels include crucial directions for correct use that anyone who uses it to fight a fire would need, as well as information for service technicians.

4. A Possible Hose Block

A potential blockage or damage to the hose is another difficult-to-see issue. Insects and other debris can become lodged in the hose, causing it to malfunction. The hose's O-rings might potentially deteriorate, putting the extinguisher at risk. With proper fire extinguisher service, it can be avoided.

5. Some People May Require Recharging

If any extinguishers were used, even partially, they must be recharged right afterward to ensure that they can be used again in the future.

How Often Should You Service Your Fire Extinguisher?

According to NFPA rule, all fire extinguisher company in Brooklyn should do this service once a month. All portable fire extinguishers must also be maintained annually, with a 5-year hydrostatic test on carbon dioxide and water-based extinguishers, a 6-year inspection on compressed extinguishers, and a 12-year hydraulic test on storage and cartridge-operated extinguishers.

What are fire extinguishers and how do they work?

What are fire extinguishers?

A fire extinguisher is designed to curb fire breakouts in various emergency situations. It is a cylindrical tool, which puts out the fire caused by minor accidents. It must have an ISO (International Organization for Standardisation) certification, to make it safe and trustworthy to use according to its set standards abroad. However, it is not as powerful as to actually put out a big fire which requires a more professional help, aka of that a fire brigade. It is advised by healthcare experts a lot to keep such tools and devices which work to save lives in emergency situations, at home. In this case, keeping a cylinder or two of fire extinguishers at home or workplace is a great precautionary idea. It will help control the emergency situations immediately without exposing anyone towards any major damage. To find out what is the fire extinguisher price in Pakistan, you can easily get it from any reputed fire extinguisher suppliers in Pakistan in between PKR 2500-3000 at most places. One thing we should know is that a fire extinguisher needs immediate refilling as well, even if it’s not completely used. Not doing so can cause the fire extinguishers to get depressurised, hence making it useless in an emergency situation. You can easily get the fire extinguisher refilling in Karachi. Fire extinguishers are best kept at places with floors, homes, etc. Make sure to use it for small fires only, and call a fire brigade in major situations.

Types of fie extinguishers?There are seven kinds of fire extinguishers, and they are mentioned below:

1. Water extinguishers:

Water extinguishers are one of the most reliable ways to extinguish fires caused by wood, paper, and other solid materials. Such kinds of fires are known as class A fires, and are best controlled by water extinguishers.

2. Foam extinguishers:

Foam extinguishers are best for class A and class B (fires caused by petrol or oil) fires. They help seal the moisture and put out fires. However, they are not suitable for free liquid fires.

3. DCP, aka dry chemical powder fire extinguishers:

Powder extinguishers are best for class A, B, and C fires. The class C fires are caused by gases (butane, propane, methane, etc). These fire extinguishers are not recommended for people since it causes breathing and visibility issues. It also doesn’t completely cool down the fire. This one is only recommended until one doesn’t have any other option. The DCP fire extinguishers price in Karachi is a real need for the general public as well

4. Carbon dioxide extinguishers:

CO2 extinguishers are ideal for fires involving electrical & electronics appliances, i.e. class E fire. The concept to that is it helps block the supply of air and it helps the fire die out. It also works well with class B fire. The CO2 fire extinguisher price in Karachi is ideal for places equipped with electrical & electronics appliances.

5. Wet Chemical extinguishers:

These fire extinguishers are perfect for class F fires, (which includes cooking oils and butter), class A fires, and class B fires. Such fire extinguishers are perfect for clashing with the fire, cooling them, and turning them into soap-like consistency which avoids further reigniting of the fire.

6. Halotron fire extinguishers:

These fire extinguishers are ozone-friendly, and allow most fires of type A, B, and C to be extinguished in the safest manner. It helps preserve the environment while simultaneously putting out the fire.

7. Fire blankets:

For people whose clothes have caught fire, or the places which have been ignited by frying pans, etc. , fire blankets are perfect to help put out fire and stop its access from reaching out further.Benefits of fire extinguishers:

Fire extinguishers have multiple important benefits. Some of them are mentioned below:

• Fire extinguishers help eliminate the fire from spreading out any further and avoids long-lasting damage if used immediately and correctly.

• It helps save countless amount of lives, which is a huge need, given that our country has a large number of deaths caused by fire breakouts.

• More fire extinguishers, like a Halotron fire extinguisher, helps in class A, B, and E fires. Find out the Halotron fire extinguisher price in Karachi by applying for quotations on several websites.

• The AFF foam fire extinguishers help in rapid putting out of the fire, and allows minimum damage to occur. It works better than powder extinguishers and have actually proved their worth better. Get the AFF fire extinguisher price in Karachi easily online.

• Finally, a fire extinguisher helps save hundreds and thousands worth of property damage if used on time and appropriately. It is easy to be used, and effective on scene of emergencies. They are easily affordable in all sorts of price ranges.

The need for fire extinguishers in different sectors:

Fire extinguishers are extremely useful in every single place where people come together to work or simply live. Be it domestic use, or commercial, fire extinguishers helps save so many precious lives and allows people who are caught in it to suffer minimal damage regarding their property or worse, their lives. Some of the sectors where fire extinguishers are needed are:

Homes

Offices

Educational institutes.

Commercial areas.

Companies/Industries

Hospitals

Warehouses

Private/Commercial Transport

Amusement parks.

Restaurants/cafes.

Shops/malls.

With so many types of fire extinguishers available for people for all sorts of fire accidents, it is important to use just the right kind of fire extinguisher needed to put out the flames in the right way. They are available in perfectly affordable prices for people to buy and install in their places in time of emergencies. For example, the water type fire extinguisher price in Karachi is quite affordable for a single cylinder.

Final thoughts: To sum it up, a fire extinguisher does so much to help protect a life or property when its used immediately in terms of a fire breakout. All the kinds of fire extinguishers which we have mentioned in detail above have their separate usage and contributions to different kinds of fire accidents. Among all them, a fire blanket is perhaps the most unique one among them since it helps put out fire on a living being. The fire blanket price in Pakistan is much more than its monetary value when it comes to saving a life.

Major Warehouse Fire at the Port of Ancona

A large fire broke out in the early hours of Wednesday morning at the port of Ancona, Italy. The blaze originated in a warehouse and spread, and firefighters worked on containment for 30 hours before finally extinguishing it on the 17th.

Aerial survey video from Wednesday showed extensive damage to two long rows of shed warehouses. The fire was substantially extinguished Thursday, and firefighting teams mopped up by applying a blanket of firefighting foam over the rubble inside the structures.

The origin of the fire is not yet known and investigations are under way. Local media reports indicate that pressurized gas cylinders exploded during the blaze, throwing debris far from the site.

According to Ancona Mayor Valeria Mancinelli, no one was injured in the fire and it was contained by 1300 hours Wednesday. A dozen teams of firefighters from around the region converged for the response operation, and they were successful in preventing its spread to the many other nearby businesses and structures.

— Vigili del Fuoco (@emergenzavvf) September 17, 2020

Due to the smoke, the city declared a shelter-in-place order for the elderly and for young children, and schools have been temporarily closed as a precautionary measure. All city facilities will reopen Friday. The exact composition and toxity of the emissions is not currently known, but Mancinelli advised residents to be cautious about eating locally-grown produce (which may have been contaminated by particulate matter) until the lab test results are completed.

She identified the site of the fire as the former warehouse of Tubimar Ancona SPA. The section of the site involved in the fire was used for storing paints and solvents, and it was slated for future conversion into a customs inspection facility, according to the port's public records.

The Port System Authority of the Central Adriatic Sea - which governs the Port of Ancona - reported Thursday that it understands that there were no toxic or dangerous materials stored at the site, based on information received from the leaseholders.

Fire Extinguisher Types NZ

Fire Extinguisher Band Colours NZ

Fire extinguishers are an essential tool in the unfortunate event of a fire.

Not only can they save property but can also save lives and reduce the chance of danger to those involved.

Different fire extinguisher types are more effective with different classes of fire. Some types may even cause more harm if used on the wrong kind of fire.

It is necessary to know and appreciate each extinguisher’s different uses as using the incorrect type of fire extinguisher could be deadly.

Before knowing how and when to use each fire extinguisher, it is important to have an understanding of each class of fire.

The Different Classes Of Fire Are:

Class A – Combustible solids such as wood, paper, cloth or plastic

Class B – Flammable liquids such as petrol, Kerosene or paint

Class C – Flammable gases such as LPG gas or natural gas

Class D – Combustible metals such as aluminium or magnesium

Class E – Electrically energised equipment such as short-circuited machinery or overloaded electrical cables.

Class F – Cooking fats and oils such as vegetable oil, fats and lard.

A fire requires three key elements to thrive. These are oxygen, heat, and fuel. Fire extinguishers work by removing at least one of these three key elements.

An easy way to identify each type of fire extinguisher is by the different coloured bands found on the top of each cylinder.

This band allows us to identify what type of fire extinguisher it is from a distance, therefore, allowing us to recognise which fire to use it for.

Dry Powder Fire Extinguishers

Dry chemical fire extinguishers or otherwise known as ABE or BE are the most popular type of extinguisher in New Zealand.

They can fight multiple classes of fire and are commonly installed in offices, homes and factories.

A dry powder fire extinguisher is identified by its all red cylinder and white band that runs around the top of the tank.

In New Zealand, you can find two types of dry powder fire extinguisher.

ABE Fire Extinguishers

Due to their wide variety of uses, the ABE dry chemical powder extinguisher is by far the most used in New Zealand.

As the name suggests, it can be used to fight fires from class A, B and E.

ABE fire extinguishers contain a chemical powder called monoammonium phosphate which extinguishes the fire by melting over the fuel source.

Using a powder fire extinguisher in a confined space or indoors can cause poor visibility, and may make it difficult to breathe.

BE Fire Extinguishers

The BE fire extinguisher is not as commonly used. These fire extinguishers are used to fight Class B and E fires. The chemicals usually found in BE extinguishers are sodium bicarbonate or potassium bicarbonate which smothers the fire and extinguishes it.

Carbon Dioxide Fire Extinguishers

Carbon dioxide, also known as CO2, is recommended for use on class E fires.

They are identified by the black band running around the top of the red cylinder.

CO2 fire extinguishers contain a non-conductive and non-corrosive extinguishing agent, therefore, will cause no damage to electrical equipment.

This type of fire extinguisher is often found in areas such as electrical server/data rooms, switch rooms, or next to electrical machinery.

Carbon dioxide works by removing the oxygen element from the fire.

Foam Fire Extinguishers

Foam fire extinguishers can also be referred to as AFFF extinguishers due to the aqueous film foaming foam that it contains.

Foam fire extinguishers are used for class A and B fires.

It is simple to identify a foam fire extinguisher by the blue band that runs around the top of the cylinder.

When foam fire extinguishers are used to extinguish a fire, they remove the element of oxygen by creating a blanket of foam on top of the fuel source of the fire as well as creating a cooling effect from the water.

AFFF fire extinguishers are generally used within warehouse’s, petrol stations and storage facilities and are not recommended for use in kitchens on class F fires.

Wet Chemical Fire Extinguishers

Wet chemical fire extinguishers are used for class A and F fires.

They are the only type of fire extinguisher recommended for use on class F fires.

You can identify wet chemical extinguishers by the oatmeal coloured band running around the top of the cylinder.

It is highly suggested that they are installed in commercial kitchens.

Wet chemical fire extinguishers contain a solution of potassium; this solution smothers the fire and removes the element of heat.

A wet chemical fire extinguisher must never be used on Class E fires.

Water Fire Extinguishers

Water fire extinguishers are the commonly found both domestically and commercially and are recommended for use on class A fires.

The all-red cylinder can identify these extinguishers with no coloured band.

Water fire extinguishers are often found in storage facilities and warehouses.

As with wet chemical and foam extinguishers, it’s important to remember that water fire extinguishers should never be used on a class E fires as it would potentially put you at risk of electrocution.

How To Use A Fire Extinguisher

All fire extinguishers in New Zealand require the PASS technique to operate

The PASS technique is as follows…

Pull the pin.

Aim it at the fire.

Squeeze the handle.

Sweep from side to side.

How to make cement factory safe production

Product introduction:https://www.cementepc.net/epc/Modification-of-cement-production-line.html

Why is the accident rate increasing when cement production technology is getting better and production time is decreasing?Cement production links are numerous, the process is complex, safety production should be fully valued by the industry, should also be put in the first place of enterprise production, but in the actual operation process, there are many problems in the implementation, thus creating conditions for the occurrence of safety accidents.

What safety accidents in cement production should be paid attention to?Due to the complicated production process of cement and the complicated production equipment, the safety accidents of cement industry are various.

1, the bums

The main sources of fire and explosion accidents are mine explosives, pulverized coal, ammonia, machine repair, electric dust collector and so on.

In recent years, the annual NSP kiln growing at a rapid rate, due to technical and management personnel growth does not synchronize with NSP kiln development, frequent accident of NSP kiln combustion process, production and equipment damage, appear even the personnel casualty, causes big economic loss to the enterprise, especially in winter, is the NSP kiln combustion accident Tuesday.

Therefore, in order to prevent the occurrence of fire and explosion accidents, the staff should pay attention to:

(1) revise the operation rules of coal mill and electric dust collector

To prevent pulverized coal combustion and explosion management into it, as soon as possible to organize management personnel and operators of coal mill fire management knowledge training, improve the safety awareness of preventing pulverized coal combustion and explosion.

(2) hourly inspection

The inspection personnel is required to check the discharging condition of dust bucket of electric dust collector and coal dust bin every hour, especially rain and snow weather, find the blocking phenomenon, organize cleaning immediately, prevent the occurrence of coal dust gathering in the coal mill electric dust collector.

(3) check the fire fighting system of coal mill regularly

Timely replacement of CO2 leakage cylinders and expired fire extinguishers, in the event of accidents, can take timely measures to ensure the safety of coal mill production.

(4) calibrate instruments regularly

The instrument of temperature control point of rotary kiln should be calibrated regularly to ensure accuracy and effectiveness, and to prevent the error in judgment of operation personnel of central control due to instrument error.

(5) control of heating time

The control of the heating time of rotary kiln should be comprehensively considered according to the stopping time of kiln, the temperature inside the kiln and the environment temperature. The key point should be to understand the actual temperature in the kiln and the material field inside the decomposing furnace, and then consider when to spray coal to prevent the explosion accident caused by insufficient temperature in the material field.

(6) stop the vertical grinding system

For the new dry clinker production line, when the vertical mill system stops, if the kiln system stops feeding, the coal mill must stop feeding.

(7) fire control facilities management

Coal mill fire control is one of the key work of enterprise safety management, in addition to good safety operation management, but also to strengthen the system of fire facilities management, regular inspection, find problems, timely treatment, to ensure that fire facilities are always in an effective state.

2. Work in confined space

Relatively isolated from the outside world, limited access, poor natural ventilation, enough to accommodate one person to enter and engage in unconventional, non-continuous work, also referred to as working in a restricted space.Cement storage, limestone storage, slag storage, gypsum storage, dry raw material homogenization storage, dry fly ash storage, clinker storage, original granary, pulverized coal storage, preheater air duct, cyclone tube, decomposition furnace, cooling machine, rotary kiln, mill, cyclone, electric dust collector, cooling tower and so on all belong to limited space.

It can be seen that working in confined Spaces has a high risk.Therefore, attention should be paid to:

(1) pay attention to ventilation, measure the concentration of central enterprises, hazardous substances and hazardous substances in confined Spaces, isolate electricity, high temperature, low temperature and hazardous substances, and follow the operation methods and safe operation procedures;

(2) to enter the confined space, one must obtain permission, be monitored, wear a supply gas mask, safety rope and set an automatic alarm device;

(3) when workers are found to be poisoned, individual protective measures should be taken to rescue them. Do not rush to enter, so as not to cause unnecessary harm.Personnel entering must wear labor protection equipment, must wear safety belt.

(4) all testing instruments, power tools and lighting tools in the working site with combustible gas or combustible dust must use explosion-proof products that meet the requirements of "design specification for electrical devices in explosive and fire dangerous environment".

(5) when toxic or combustible gases are found, the tester should use harmful gas detection instrument, combustible gas tester and other equipment for testing.

3. High temperature scald

There are many high temperature equipment and machinery in cement plant, such as clinker, preheater, rotary kiln, etc., the temperature is relatively high, in the equipment maintenance or work process, if not appropriate in the operation process, it is easy to be burned by high temperature.

Therefore, attention should be paid to:

(1) when handling the blocking operation of the preheater, please wear special protective equipment and inform the central control operator to maintain the negative pressure of the system. Ventilation and water can be provided after inserting the blowpipe. When people are standing in the upper and upper air tuyere, the upper and lower parts of the system shall not operate at the same time.

(2) to check the operation in the kiln and grate cooler, please wait until the temperature is below 40℃ (including into the mill and other equipment), and confirm that there is no material stored in the preheater before entering.Manual treatment grate cooler block, should stop crusher operation, when necessary should stop material, and all levels of preheater flashing valve lock, cut off the air cannon air source.

(3) bituminous coal, coal may not be stored for a long time, long term (2 d above) before the kiln should be pulverized coal storehouse with empty, unplanned stop kiln should be regularly to the spray pulverized coal storehouse in our fleet or affixed with raw powder, timing monitoring pulverized coal storehouse temperature changes, dust collector and pulverized coal storage is not permitted in a corner, everywhere outside overflow device of pulverized coal should clean up as soon as possible.A minimum stock of CO2 cylinders should be maintained for fire suppression purposes.It is forbidden to walk on the original coal.

(4) control the outlet temperature of pulverized coal mill <65℃ in summer and <70℃ in winter.

(5) do not observe near the kiln head during firing and feeding to avoid backfiring in the kiln.

(6) cut off the inlet passage of kiln exhaust gas before entering the vertical mill.

(7) do not tread on the raw materials, clinkers, pulverized coal and other materials scattered on the ground. Stop, protect and clean up the scattered materials as soon as possible.

(8) it is strictly prohibited to weld inflammable containers (pulverized coal warehouses, oil tanks, etc.) and airtight containers. Flammable articles are strictly prohibited in the welding area.Do not immediately grasp the objects after welding or gas cutting and handle the tools just used in the blockage.

(9) fire extinguishers and high-pressure water pipes in the workshop should be in good condition.

(10) the vicinity of diesel tank, thin oil station, pulverized coal warehouse, transformer, oil tank facilities, etc. shall be strictly protected from fire source, no smoking, and no leakage of oil pipeline.Inflammable goods and drying clothes are not allowed to be placed near the high temperature equipment.

(11) strictly prevent short circuit of electrical equipment, and any switch box contact screw should be tightened.

(12) the boiler shall be operated by licensed personnel, the water level gauge and exhaust valve shall be reliable, and shall be checked weekly according to regulations.

The complete safety precaution plan also needs people to implement, and can only play the role of prevention.It is hoped that enterprises in the industry can earnestly comply with the requirements of safety production laws and regulations, and put every detail of safety production into practice, so as to prevent the occurrence of safety accidents to the maximum extent.

If you have any more questions about cement plants, please contact us. We will reply to you as soon as possible.

The primary filling device has an upper plate, a lower plate, a sealing pad and a powder inlet tube, the sealing pad is fixed on the lower plate, and the lower plate is fixed on the upper plate on. The secondary filling device has a filter box, a filter and a manual switch with a lower powder nozzle. The dry powder filling machine has a simple structure and accurate filling measurement. Due to the secondary filling, the filter can be cleaned, so that the energy consumption is low, no powder layer enters the atmosphere, and there is no pollution to the air. At the same time, the filling material is saved, making it The cost is reduced, the machine is small in size, light in weight, simple in operation, suitable for the filling of various dry powders, especially suitable for the powder filling of dry powder fire extinguishers.

Application Date: December 05, 2001 Open Date: Authorized Announcement Date: September 04, 2002 Applicant / Owner: Guo Wenxian Applicant Address: No. 21, Xiaobei Street, Raoyang County, Hebei Province Invented Designer: Guo Wenxian Agency: Beijing Shuangshou Office Agent: Chen Yongqing Type: Practical Model Classification Number: B65B1 / 16; B65B1 / 28GFM dry powder filling machine is our factory's reference to the advantages of powder filling machines at home and abroad combined with the characteristics of actual filling The new product developed and designed adopts vacuum jet technology to quickly suck the dry powder into the loaded cylinder, equipped with high-precision T3806 weighing indicator and MPT printer. The filling has automatic metering and uses the negative <a href="https://www.gz-shisheng.com/office-desk-melamine-series-rd-6017.html">base station antennas manufacturers</a> pressure generated by the vacuum to carry out the residual dust on the filter. This machine integrates electronic and electrical machinery, thus reducing the labor intensity and improving the working environment. It has the characteristics of small size, light weight, low energy consumption, easy movement, simple operation, long service life, etc. It is especially suitable for powder filling of dry powder fire extinguishers. It is also an ideal equipment for other powder filling industry. 1. Main technical parameters Volume: length, width and height (1130mm520mm1350mm) weight: 200kg voltage: AC220V50Hz power: 1.5Kw filling accuracy: 1kg0.015 filling speed: 612kg / minGFM dry powder filling machine uses 1.5 kW, Y series motor As a driving force, the 2X type vacuum pump is driven, which can not only satisfy the filling of various <a href="https://www.gz-shisheng.com/filing-cabinet.html">zipper slider pressing parts</a> powder fire extinguishers, but also suck out the dry powder in the old fire extinguisher barrel (see Figure 2). It is suitable for two filling methods: continuous filling by the manufacturer and operation filling by the maintenance manufacturer. The machine is equipped with two powder suction tubes (Figure 215, Figure 213). During the filling process, the powder is poured into the barrel from the powder suction tube (Figure 215) and through the filling end cap (Figure 116). When the powder inside needs to be sucked out, the powder suction tube (Figure 213) should be put into the old fire extinguisher tube, and the powder suction tube (Figure 215) at the filling end cap (Figure 116) should be replaced with the powder suction tube (Figure 213). The old powder was sucked out. (The dry powder that has failed in the old fire <a href="https://www.gz-shisheng.com/">gz-shisheng</a> extinguisher cannot be sucked out) Operational use: 1. Connect the pipeline first connect the machine's powder suction pipe (Figure 115) to the conical powder storage barrel of the warehouse, (the cone of the powder storage barrel is generally 3 : 2, see Figure 2, the user can customize the size of the powder storage barrel according to the production volume) and then check whether the connecting pipes are loose. 2. The protective device is connected to the protective wiring of the dry powder machine. The platform ground wire (Figure 122) is provided to eliminate static electricity. Due to the static electricity generated during the filling process of the dry powder and the interference of the symmetry sensor and the display, it must be grounded. The grounding device (Figure 3, Figure 4) is a transition device that connects electrical appliances to the earth. It is said that the platform ground wire is connected to the buried metal conductor or conductor group. The grounding resistance value should not be greater than 4 ohms. This device is used to eliminate static interference from scales and display devices. It is a more effective method after many experiments. 1. Install the power supply and switch on the power supply. The machine adopts single-phase two-wire power supply.
