The years take their toll. Now, out of more than 30 participants of the Great Patriotic War who worked in the Zelenodolsk fire department, not a single one is left alive.

Zelenodolsk firefighters maintain contact with the aksakal constantly, visit not only on festive dates, help in solving everyday issues.

Now the health is no longer the same, the veteran practically does not leave the house. "92 years is no joke!" he remarks with a smile. During the war years, he fully endured all the hardships of a difficult life in the rear. When the war started, he was 10 years old. He lived in the village, worked on a collective farm and, as the veteran himself recalls, was constantly starving. He constantly shares his memories and experiences of those distant years with his young colleagues. Valiulla Hafizovich has spent almost thirty years serving in the fire department. He worked as a guard chief and fire prevention inspector in the 52nd fire department at the Zelenodolsk plant named after A.M.Gorky. He can still talk about his service for hours. At the same time, Valiulla Hafizovich is constantly interested in news, changes and the latest events in the life of his unit. He is happy for his young colleagues and worries about their service.
