In Tatarstan, hundreds of employees of the EMERCOM ensure the safety of the feast of the Epiphany of the Lord
Prevention of possible emergencies, ensuring security and public order in crowded places – these were the main tasks of the employees of the emergency department of the republic involved during the Orthodox feast of the Epiphany. Firefighters and rescuers organize duty near churches and monasteries, as well as near the Jordan every year.
This year, the executive committees of the municipalities of the republic have identified 107 places for organizing bathing, of which 67 places are in open reservoirs and 38 places are in springs with fonts.
The believers themselves are advised by the Ministry of Emergency Situations to take a deliberate and serious approach to performing the ritual of bathing in icy water. Adequately assess the state of your physical health. Emergency workers will be on duty during all the days of the Orthodox holiday.
