In this Friday, March 10, 2017 photo, soldiers in usher uniforms, some carry fire extinguishers march down a staircase after the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing. Because safety comes first, fire extinguishers are ubiquitous in and around Beijing’s Great Hall of the People during the annual sessions of China’s ceremonial parliament and its official advisory body. That’s partly for standard purposes of preventing any sort of fire-related emergency that could harm the participants and mar the proceedings. (Photo by Andy Wong/AP Photo)
