When a professional gets down to business... even if he is retired
Oleg Konstantinovich Lazarev, a veteran of fire protection, lieutenant colonel of the Internal Reserve Service, heads the Bureau of Fire Prevention of the Department of Safety and Regime of JSC NPO Radioelectronics named after V.I. Shimko. Oleg Konstantinovich said that at the time of the fire of the Gazelle, parked 10 meters from the administrative building of the enterprise, he was on duty and saw that flames began to escape from under the hood of the parked car and thick smoke went up.
He decided to take two fire extinguishers and ran outside. Concerned drivers who happened to be nearby tried to bring down the flames, but their primary fire extinguishing means failed. But Oleg Lazarev, who worked for 15 years in the fire extinguishing service, was able to tame his old enemy. One carbon dioxide fire extinguisher went to extinguish the engine, the other finished off the fire on the control panel in the cockpit.
Meanwhile, the brave act of the veteran of the fire department did not go unnoticed by the management of JSC "NPO Radioelectronics named after V.I. Shimko".
