The original idea I had that I nixed because I was told it was too dark….

Letting himself into the Dursley’s home, Sirius saw the cupboard under the stairs immediately. He made his way towards it, not bothering to make sure he was quiet. He didn’t really fucking care if he woke up the entire bloody house. He crouched down and opened the door to see it mainly empty except for some cleaning supplies. Laying down on the floor, with his head in the cupboard, he looked up at the stairs. He cast Lumos and inspected the wood. On the fourth step up, in shaky and childish writing, was the name Harry.

Sirius’ entire body felt hollow as he reached up his trembling right hand towards the name. His fingers traced the letters as a pain throbbed in the back of his throat. Fuck being methodical. He could kill them right now in their sleep. He was definitely in the right mindset to cast some Unforgivable Curses.

“Leave, Sirius,” the warm voice of Fleamont filled his head. “Harry needs you. Harry is asking for you.

Chest heaving, Sirius pulled his body out from the cupboard. He glanced around the entryway for Fleamont but didn’t see him. Nobody was there. All he could hear was his ragged breathing. His gaze slowly glided to the staircase where he knew Petunia and Vernon were sleeping. Gritting his teeth, he forced himself to leave the house and shut the door as softly as he could. He crossed the street, not even bothering to look both ways for any cars. He hadn’t even thought about it to be honest. He turned back around to look at the house.

It was a fucking house of horrors. No better than Grimmauld Place. A jail that no child should suffer to in.

They had hurt Harry. They hurt his godson. The boy he considered to be his son.

Sirius raised his left hand slowly, tears burning his eyes. With a slash, the house burst into flames. The fire grew quickly, engulfing the walls and the roof.

His breaths came out in harsh huffs as his crazed eyes looked around for the nearest fire hydrant. He found it two houses down. With a flick of his wrist, the hydrant went flying through the air. Water sprayed out from the hole in the ground. Sirius’ lips twisted into a sneer.

The Muggles would have a hell of a time trying to put out the fire. With that, Sirius Apparated back to Scotland to be with his godson.

Moments in Between - Dog

Characters: Jason Todd x fem!oc

Rating and warnings: G, attempted mugging.

Word Count: 1,331

Summary: Red Hood saves Andy from a mugging, from the perspective of her dog.

Masterlist

Marlow, the 150 pound Irish Wolfhound, walked dutifully at Andy’s side through Crime Alley. He was smelling their way home. 

Andy had taken them out for dinner. It was someplace new, filled with very exciting smells and nice people who gave him many pats and told him he was a good boy. He didn’t get to inspect Andy’s food, because they brought out something dried and meaty for him to chew on, and by the time he was done she had finished. He didn’t know how that kept happening. 

Afterwards they walked to the bus stop. 

Marlow didn’t like the bus. It made too many noises and rumbles, the smells were bad, and it stopped and started without warning.

No bus came. Andy started to become nervous. There were a few other people walking past as the night got darker. The street lights turned on, sickly yellow and hissing. Andy looked around, and tapped her fingers against her leg. She started to smell like stress. Marlow stood up, anxious on her behalf. 

He wished the bus would come already so Andy would feel better. He was tough, he could put up with the rumbles. 

The night grew darker, and the roads emptier. Less people walked past.

The bus did not come. 

Andy sighed. “Let’s go.” 

She tugged lightly at his leash as she turned and walked along the pavement. 

Marlow trotted to walk slightly in front of her, just in case. Andy was smart and the best person, but her eyes weren’t very good, and her nose was entirely broken. She would walk right into trouble if he didn’t say anything. 

The wind sighed through the dirty streets, giving him the full report on who had come through here today. That nice rottweiler had gone for a walk this way at lunch time but was gone now. A stressed german shepherd who didn’t belong had peed on the fire hydrant. Marlow left his own mark over it. 

It was a long walk home, past all sorts of people Marlow didn’t like. Men especially. Marlow didn’t trust the men. Too many of them looked at Andy and smiled. Then they looked at him, and stopped smiling. Good. Look at someone else. No smiling. 

Some of the streetlights didn’t work here, and many shops were boarded up. There were still some people out selling things but they didn’t want to buy them. 

One of the nice ladies on the corner said hello to Andy. That was okay. They smelled like horrible too-strong flowers and alcohol, and sometimes worse things, but they were mostly safe. The men who floated around them were not. 

One of the younger ladies crooned at him and tried to give him pets. 

He wasn’t going to get distracted. He pulled against the lead as he kept walking, the harness firm around his shoulders. They weren’t home yet. No stopping.

The roads got emptier. 

Andy’s heeled ankle boots tapped too loud against the pavement. She pulled her jacket tight around herself. 

They approached their street. Two more turns and they would be home. In the daytime they usually cut through an alleyway, but when it was dark they would stay on the main road.

The wind brought him the scent of three people standing on the side of the road a little beyond the alley, right where their turn was. They smelled sour. Old vomit, drying blood. Desperation. They were watching them approach. 

Andy kept her head down. Her fear spiked.

They walked past the alley. Marlow stopped, and Andy bumped into his backside. 

Red Hat friend! He was sitting in the dark on top of a dumpster. He wasn’t moving and the narrow alley was so dark even Marlow struggled to see him, but he smelled him loud and clear. 

Marlow tried to go that way, but Andy pulled on his leash. 

“Come on,” she hissed. 

He whined. 

Red Hat was safe. Even though he was very big and sometimes smelled like blood, Andy was never afraid around him. He brought dinner home last week when Andy was sad, and took Marlow out for very exciting runs. Never with the hat on, though. He gave excellent pats. Sometimes, Marlow even let him look after Andy while he was sleeping.

Andy walked faster past the entry of the alley. She didn’t even say hello. 

Marlow huffed and trotted with her. He didn’t like this. Red Hat watched them go by. 

The three on the street smelled worse the closer they got. 

Marlow didn’t like this. Two of the three were leaning against the wall, and all openly looking at them. Andy held Marlow’s leash very short so he was pressed up against her side, between them and her.

They got close enough to try and pass on the side of the road, Andy with her head down and shoulders hunched. The three of them stepped out to block the sidewalk. 

Marlow growled. 

The strangers said something, voice low and sharp.

Andy was terrified.

Marlow barked, furious. 

Andy yanked on his leash and snapped a command to heel, but she was so scared and they were bad, bad, bad. He didn’t want to back down. 

The people in front of him stank of fear and desperation. Good! They should be scared! Marlow was angry! 

There was a click in front of him, and one of them pointed something shiny at Marlow. 

There was another click behind them, and a crunchy metal voice interrupted.

Red Hat friend. 

He was angry too. He said something, numbers. Counting down. 

The three turned and bolted.

Marlow chase! 

They disappeared down the road, no! Catch them, bite them, tear them to bits! 

His leash pulled hard, and he reared up on his back legs then dropped back down. No, no chase, he had to look after Andy. 

He swung around and ran back. He gave everyone a sniff. Andy was breathing hard, one hand pressed flat to her chest. Marlow licked it. She gave a nervous laugh and absently scratched behind his ear. 

His leash was in Red Hat’s hand, which explained why Marlow hadn’t dragged Andy off her feet when he ran. He forgot sometimes how little she was. Not very good at running. The two humans were standing strangely far apart. 

Red Hat smelled scared too now. He was upset and his leg was hurting. Marlow trotted over to say hello and gave him some friendly licks. His gloves tasted bad, but his jacket was smooth and tasty. 

The crunchy metal voice didn’t stop talking to Andy. He stood like he wanted to go to her, to check she was okay. He didn’t. Andy reached out just enough to get the leash back and then retreated. She smelled embarrassed, and interested in that way she sometimes did around Red Hat. She didn’t get any closer. 

Red Hat didn’t give any pats. He tried to push Marlow’s head away. 

First no chasing and now no pats? Oh dear. Marlow gave him another lick to comfort him then bumped his head against his hand. 

His voice stopped, cutting off a laugh. He patted Marlow on the head. 

“Good boy.”

Yes, he knew. 

“Get your Ma home safe. Off you go.” 

Andy pulled him back and walked away hurriedly. 

Red Hat wasn’t coming home?

Marlow, with his head turned while trotting to keep up, saw him sneak back into the alley. Why wasn’t he coming home? Where Marlow could keep them all safe? 

Andy guided him on a short leash the rest of the way home. The bad people were gone, the smell trailing off down the wrong road. Andy looked back over her shoulder every now and again, still vigilant. The wind curled over the buildings. Red Hat was standing up on top of the roof in the opposite direction, smelling vaguely worried. Marlow barked at him. He disappeared back out of view before Andy could see him. 

Marlow huffed. 

Everyone was being very silly tonight.

Emergency Maneuvers

Before we even entered the store, as we were walking through the parking lot, she seemed to have an odd shimmy in her step. An extra shake in her bake.

On aisle three, she leaned over and whispered "These panties are killing me."

"ARE YOUR PANTIES CHAFING YOUR BUNGHOLE?" I asked her, somewhat loudly. Not like volume 10, but a solid 5. Loud enough to capture the attention of the gentleman in the bib overalls with the ZZ Top beard who was pushing his cart past ours. He twisted his neck all the way around to check her out, definitely grounds for a chiropractor visit later that week. Her eyes got really big and she scurried off for a minute, embarrassed and perturbed.

Once she had forgiven me, she returned to the topic, explaining that the panty problem was on her front side. This was not unprecedented. One time when we were travelling on a Valentine's mini-vacation, we were walking out of an arcade and she stopped in the middle of a sidewalk, hid herself behind me, and jammed her hand down her pants to tuck an errant labia back into her panties. This apparently recurring problem may be partially caused by the tiny little thongs she wears when she's around me. I reminded her that in my opinion panties simply aren't needed, but she did not find this helpful.

While we were standing in the checkout line, she informed me that as soon as she was in the car, she was pulling her pants down to un-cleave herself. She would show me the indignity and suffering she was enduring. I found this riveting. Any opportunity to discuss her boobs, or her butt, or her vagina is not to be missed. She doesn't really talk about these topics to just anyone, so it feels intimate, like she's letting me in on her secrets. Plus, I'm just perverted like that.

Once our packages are loaded, and she's in the car, she's suddenly a little shy. There is a car parked next to ours, and the guy sitting in it has taken special notice of her, as guys tend to do. She has tugged her pants down off her hips but will go no further.

"You're going to have to move the car," she implores me, "I can't do it with him sitting there. He might see me."

I smile and nod to him, just to irk her.

"Hurry, you jerk! These things are driving me crazy!"

I leisurely back out and then ease down through the parking lot. She tugs her pants down to her ankles and points at her problem. She shifts her butt up off the seat trying to give me a better view. I narrowly avoid a collision with a fire hydrant. A few landscaping shrubs and one healthy-sized tree are in danger. Women and small children flee. I am definitely inspecting her while I have the chance, and neglecting my duties as a driver seems like a compromise any sane man would make.

Random motion, walking, unexpected shifting, maybe some shrinkage from the dryer, and the forces of the universe have all conspired to get those cute little panties wedged pretty far up in there. She yanks them out with a sign of relief. I twitch and make man noises and wonder if humping the steering wheel is illegal in this state as she smooths everything into place.

I fully expect that when we are old fogeys, wrinkled and gray-haired and slower on our feet, we are still acting like sex-fiends at the local store.

Case Study: Fire Hydrant Testing in a Commercial District

Conclusion: The Value of Routine Fire Hydrant Testing

1. What is Fire Hydrant Testing?

Fire hydrant testing is a series of inspections and evaluations that determine if a hydrant can deliver the necessary water flow and pressure to support firefighting activities. These tests ensure that hydrants remain in peak working condition, are easily accessible, and can deliver an adequate water supply during an emergency. Regular testing is mandated by fire codes, insurance companies, and municipal regulations to ensure public safety.

2. Why Fire Hydrant Testing Matters

Fire hydrant testing is essential for several reasons:

Public Safety: Fire hydrants are the primary water source for firefighters. A well-tested hydrant system can make a significant difference during a fire emergency, helping to save lives and properties.

Property Protection: Insurance companies often require regular hydrant testing to reduce fire risk and ensure properties are better protected in emergencies.

Compliance with Regulations: Local governments and fire codes require that hydrants be regularly tested and maintained. Failing to do so can lead to legal liabilities and fines.

3. Common Topics in Fire Hydrant Testing

The Importance of Water Flow Testing

Water flow testing measures the amount of water a hydrant can deliver over a set period. Testing water flow ensures that hydrants can meet the demand required for fire suppression, which may vary depending on location, type of property, and potential fire hazards. A flow test determines if the hydrant can reach the designated flow rate, confirming its effectiveness in supplying water during an emergency.

Fire Hydrant Pressure Tests: Keeping Systems Ready

Hydrant pressure testing evaluates if the hydrant can maintain adequate pressure levels to sustain water flow. Pressure is a key factor because insufficient pressure can compromise firefighting efforts, especially in multi-story buildings where water must travel vertically. Regular pressure tests identify any issues with water supply systems, ensuring hydrants are ready to deliver water effectively when needed.

Legal Requirements and Compliance

Local fire codes and insurance policies mandate specific testing and maintenance schedules. These regulations help ensure that hydrants are tested periodically for functionality and accessibility. In some areas, testing may be required annually, while other regions might have more frequent or less stringent requirements. Understanding these legal requirements is vital for property owners and managers to avoid penalties and ensure compliance.

4. Challenges in Fire Hydrant Testing

While fire hydrant testing is crucial, it comes with its own set of challenges:

Accessibility Issues: Over time, hydrants may become obstructed by landscaping, vehicles, or construction materials. Clearing access to hydrants can be time-consuming and sometimes requires coordination with other city services.

Hydrant Age and Maintenance Needs: Older hydrants may have wear-and-tear issues, such as rusted parts or valve problems. Aging infrastructure can complicate testing and may lead to costly repairs.

Water Quality Concerns: During hydrant testing, water in the pipes is disturbed, which can cause temporary discoloration in the water supply to nearby buildings. Communicating with residents about potential temporary water quality changes is often necessary.

Logistics and Coordination: Hydrant testing may require coordination with multiple stakeholders, including local authorities, property owners, and utility services. Organizing schedules and securing resources can be challenging, especially in urban settings.

5. Step-by-Step Guide to Fire Hydrant Testing

Fire hydrant testing involves several steps to ensure accurate and thorough inspections. Here’s a simplified step-by-step guide:

Step 1: Inspect the Hydrant’s Physical Condition

Before conducting any flow or pressure tests, a visual inspection of the hydrant is necessary. Technicians should check for rust, leaks, or any visible damage that could affect performance. Ensure that the hydrant is clear of any obstructions and can be easily accessed.

Step 2: Record Location and Identify Hydrant Type

Each hydrant’s location is noted, and its unique identification number is recorded. This information helps in tracking maintenance history and testing records, which is crucial for compliance.

Step 3: Open and Flush the Hydrant

Flushing the hydrant removes any standing water and debris, ensuring a clear pathway for water flow. This step also helps detect leaks or low-pressure issues that might affect water flow.

Step 4: Conduct Flow Testing

A pressure gauge is installed on a neighboring hydrant to measure static (non-flowing) pressure. Then, the test hydrant is opened, and the flow rate is measured using a pitot gauge. The resulting data is used to calculate the flow rate in gallons per minute (GPM).

Step 5: Evaluate Water Pressure

A static and residual pressure reading is taken to determine if the hydrant can maintain adequate pressure levels. This step helps ensure that the water supply can sustain the flow needed for firefighting.

Step 6: Record Results and Perform Maintenance if Needed

After testing, results are recorded for compliance and maintenance logs. If issues are identified, repairs or part replacements are scheduled to ensure the hydrant is fully operational.

6. Case Study: Fire Hydrant Testing in a Commercial District

Location: A busy commercial district with multiple high-rise buildings

Objective: Ensure that fire hydrants in the area meet flow and pressure requirements to handle potential emergencies in multi-story buildings.

Background

The commercial district, which spans several blocks, has multiple hydrants maintained by the local fire department. The hydrants are strategically placed, but due to high vehicle traffic and nearby construction, several hydrants were obstructed. Additionally, the district experienced an issue with an aging water supply infrastructure, which had impacted hydrant pressure in the past.

Steps Taken

Coordination with City Services: The fire department coordinated with city utility services to schedule testing times, minimize traffic disruption, and notify nearby businesses about possible water discoloration.

Initial Inspections: Firefighters conducted visual inspections, identifying a few hydrants that required clearing and minor repairs. They also flagged hydrants with potential pressure issues.

Flow and Pressure Testing: Technicians measured flow rates and pressures for each hydrant, identifying two hydrants with insufficient pressure to support firefighting needs.

Repairs and Adjustments: The hydrants with issues were marked for repairs, which involved replacing some parts and addressing leaks. The testing team confirmed that the remaining hydrants met compliance standards.

Results

After addressing the issues, the hydrants in the commercial district were compliant and capable of meeting the water demands for high-rise firefighting. The local businesses were informed about the successful testing, providing reassurance that fire safety measures were up to date.

7. Conclusion: The Value of Routine Fire Hydrant Testing

Regular fire hydrant testing is an essential aspect of fire safety that ensures hydrants are ready to deliver water under pressure when it matters most. From public safety and compliance to property protection, these tests are vital for safeguarding lives and assets. Although fire hydrant testing can present challenges, from accessibility issues to coordinating logistics, these obstacles are manageable with proper planning and teamwork. By staying proactive with hydrant maintenance, property owners and municipalities can uphold fire safety standards, reduce liabilities, and contribute to a safer community.

In conclusion, fire hydrant testing is a responsibility that benefits everyone by reinforcing a community’s readiness in the face of fire emergencies. With a systematic approach to inspections, maintenance, and repairs, fire hydrants can serve as reliable first responders, providing firefighters with the essential water supply needed to protect lives and properties.

Fire Hose Couplings and Accessories: An Essential Overview

Firefighting is one of the most dangerous professions, demanding both skill and the right equipment. Among the critical components of firefighting gear are fire hoses and their accessories, particularly fire hose couplings. These tools ensure a firefighter can effectively connect, extend, and control the flow of water during a fire emergency. Understanding the significance of fire hose couplings and accessories is vital to appreciate their role in ensuring safety and efficiency in firefighting operations.

Importance of Fire Hose Accessories

Fire hose accessories serve many functions, from enhancing the efficiency of firefighting efforts to ensuring the durability of the hoses and preventing malfunctions during critical moments. These accessories include nozzles, valves, and connectors, but perhaps the most essential are fire hose couplings, which allow firefighters to join hoses together or connect them to hydrants and pumps.

Without these accessories, hoses would lack the adaptability required for different firefighting scenarios. Often, fires occur in places where a direct connection to water sources is challenging, making hose extension and connection crucial. Accessories allow firefighters to overcome these obstacles quickly and effectively.

Fire Hose Couplings: What Are They?

Fire hose couplings are connectors designed to attach hoses together or connect them to water supplies such as hydrants, fire trucks, or pumps. These couplings are engineered to provide a secure, watertight seal, preventing leaks that could compromise water pressure. They also enable quick assembly and disassembly of hoses during high-stakes operations, ensuring the fire crew can move swiftly.

There are two main types of fire hose couplings:

Threaded Couplings: These are designed with male and female threads that screw together to connect two hoses. They are simple to use but require careful alignment to ensure a proper connection.

Storz Couplings: These are non-threaded and use interlocking hooks and lugs to connect hoses quickly. Storz couplings are often preferred in modern firefighting because they are faster to connect and less prone to cross-threading or damage than threaded couplings.

Each type of coupling is designed for specific uses, depending on the fire department's equipment and the firefighting environment.

Materials and Durability

Fire hose couplings are typically made from durable materials like brass, aluminum, or stainless steel, ensuring they can withstand the extreme conditions of firefighting. These materials offer both corrosion resistance and the ability to handle high pressure. Aluminum couplings are lightweight and easy to handle, making them ideal for rapid deployments, while brass and stainless steel are heavier but offer greater durability and resistance to damage.

The Role of Fire Hose Accessories in Emergency Situations

In fire emergencies, time is of the essence. Fire hose couplings and accessories enable firefighters to connect hoses of different lengths or diameters, extend hose lines, and establish connections with water sources quickly. This flexibility can be the difference between containing a fire and allowing it to spread.

Moreover, hose couplings ensure that the water pressure remains stable throughout the operation. A poorly connected hose could result in leaks, reduced pressure, or even a catastrophic failure, rendering the firefighting efforts ineffective. Fire hose couplings prevent such risks, ensuring consistent water flow.

Maintenance and Inspection

Regular inspection and maintenance of fire hose couplings are critical. Fire departments must routinely check couplings for any signs of wear, corrosion, or damage that could compromise their performance. Dirt, debris, and chemical exposure can degrade the seals or threading, making the coupling less effective. Proper cleaning and storage are essential for ensuring their longevity and reliability.

Conclusion

Fire hose accessories, especially fire hose couplings, play a vital role in modern firefighting. Their ability to connect hoses quickly, maintain high water pressure, and withstand extreme conditions makes them indispensable. With proper use and maintenance, these accessories ensure firefighters can respond to emergencies swiftly and efficiently, keeping both property and lives safe from the devastating effects of fire.

Investing in high-quality fire hose accessories and regularly maintaining them will not only improve firefighting efforts but also provide peace of mind in critical moments.

Fire Safety: Essential Considerations and Key Aspects

Fire safety refers to practices intended to reduce the destruction caused by fire. Fire safety measures are designed to prevent ignition of an uncontrolled fire and mitigate its consequences once it has occurred. Below are some critical keywords and concepts associated with fire safety.

1. Fire Prevention

Fire prevention involves measures aimed at stopping fires before they start. Key activities include inspecting electrical systems, ensuring safe storage of flammable materials, and educating building occupants on fire risks.

2. Fire Detection

Effective fire detection systems, such as smoke alarms and heat detectors, provide early warnings to occupants, allowing for quicker response and evacuation. These systems can be connected to automated systems or fire control panels.

3. Fire Suppression

Fire suppression is the action of extinguishing or containing fires. Common fire suppression methods include sprinkler systems, fire extinguishers (e.g., CO₂, foam, or dry powder types), and chemical fire suppressants.

4. Fire Resistance

Buildings must be constructed with materials that offer fire resistance—the ability to withstand fire for a certain period without collapsing. This often includes fire-rated walls, doors, and windows.

5. Evacuation Procedures

Evacuation planning is a crucial element of fire safety. Evacuation routes, signage, and regular fire drills are implemented to ensure occupants can safely exit during emergencies.

6. Fire Codes and Regulations

National and local fire safety codes set the standards for building design and maintenance. These include NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) codes, the International Fire Code (IFC), and specific local regulations.

7. Passive Fire Protection (PFP)

Passive fire protection refers to the use of fire-resistant walls, doors, and floors to prevent fire spread. Compartmentation and firestopping are strategies used to contain fire within a certain area of a building.

8. Fire Risk Assessment

A fire risk assessment evaluates potential fire hazards in a building and provides recommendations for reducing those risks. It typically includes identifying fire hazards, evaluating escape routes, and assessing the effectiveness of fire detection and suppression systems.

9. Flammable Materials

Flammable and combustible materials pose significant risks. Proper storage and labeling are essential for minimizing accidental ignition. The material's flash point, which is the lowest temperature at which it can ignite, is critical to understanding its fire hazard.

10. Fire Extinguisher Classes

Different types of fires require different fire extinguishers. Class A extinguishers handle ordinary combustibles like wood or paper, while Class B deals with flammable liquids, and Class C is for electrical fires. There are also specialized extinguishers for metals (Class D) and cooking oils (Class K).

11. Emergency Lighting

In case of a fire, power can fail, necessitating emergency lighting to guide occupants to safety. These systems include backup power sources and must comply with fire safety regulations.

12. Fireproofing

Fireproofing is the application of materials that resist heat and flame, often used to protect steel structures from collapsing under extreme temperatures.

13. Smoke Control

Smoke inhalation is a primary cause of fatalities in fires. Smoke control systems aim to manage the movement of smoke within a building through ventilation, pressurization, or barriers.

14. Fire Doors

Fire-rated doors prevent the spread of fire and smoke between different parts of a building. They must remain closed and are often fitted with automatic closing mechanisms in case of a fire alarm.

15. Fire Hydrants and Water Supply

External fire suppression methods depend on water supply infrastructure, such as fire hydrants, which provide a readily available source of water for firefighters to combat large-scale fires.

Conclusion:

Fire safety encompasses a wide range of systems and practices designed to reduce fire hazards and protect life and property. Following fire safety protocols, maintaining compliance with fire codes, and promoting fire awareness are essential components of any comprehensive fire safety strategy.

Keywords: Fire prevention, fire detection, fire suppression, fire resistance, evacuation procedures, fire codes, passive fire protection, fire risk assessment, flammable materials, fire extinguisher classes, emergency lighting, fireproofing, smoke control, fire doors, fire hydrants.

This structure covers various aspects of fire safety, providing insight into the vital components necessary for ensuring safety in different environments.
