Pulls from danger
Rescues is the plural of rescue, the act of saving someone or something from danger, harm, or an undesirable situation: The coast guard performed three rescues that night.
As a verb form, rescues means saves or delivers from peril: She rescues stray dogs from the streets.
A rescue can be dramatic—pulling someone from a burning building—or mundane: Thanks for the rescue; that conversation was going nowhere.
