29 January 2021, Friday

Employees of the fire Service of EMERCOM of Russia for the Republic of Tatarstan together with the division of the Vysokaya Gora fire and rescue garrison held the fire-tactical exercises, which simulate the parts of gas and smoke protective service in the rescue of people in fires.

According to the legend of the exercise, a fire broke out in one of the residential buildings in a rural settlement. An eyewitness reported the incident from a cell phone number "101" to the control panel of the Vysokaya Gora fire and rescue garrison. He pointed out that the building can accommodate two people, one of whom is a disabled man, unable to move independently.  

The task of firefighters is to find and rescue the victims as quickly as possible, and then proceed to eliminate the fire.

Employees of the Fire Fighting Service took into account one very important point in the scenario of the exercise, namely, the civil position of the eyewitness who reported the fire.

He not only waited for the firefighters to arrive, but also pointed out to them where and in what room people could be in the smoke-filled room. Nevertheless, even knowing about the approximate location of the victims, the firefighters had to find two people in the pitch darkness of the poisonous black smoke in the shortest possible time and organize their evacuation and rescue.

The stopwatch in the hands of the head of fire and tactical training-the head of the Fire Extinguishing Service, Colonel of the internal Service Ruslan Salimullin recorded 5 minutes from the arrival of the fire departments to the evacuation of the victims. Another minute was needed to extinguish the fire.

Experience joint exercises firefighters, fire Service of EMERCOM of Russia for the Republic of Tatarstan, Vysokaya Gora and fire and rescue garrison will be presented to explore all fire and rescue unit of the Republic of Tatarstan.
