From theory to rescue: how Tatarstan firefighters practice first aid skills
In the Fire Service of the Republic of Tatarstan, first aid exercises are not just a formality. These are carefully developed standards that transform theoretical knowledge into vital skills. In different parts of the republic, firefighters improve their skills in order to be ready to save a human life at a critical moment.
In the village of Bilyarsk of the Chistopolsky detachment, firefighters worked out the standard "Applying a ready-made transport ladder tire to the victim with a closed fracture of the humerus." Every movement counts here, from choosing the right tire size to fixing it. It is important not just to perform the procedure, but to do it in such a way as to minimize the suffering of the victim and prevent additional damage.
In the village of Novozarechensk, the duty shift of the Almetyevsk detachment demonstrated excellent results in working out the standard "Applying a ready-made transport ladder tire to the victim with a closed fracture of the shin bones." The "good" rating was a confirmation that the employees of the fire service act professionally and smoothly.
Special attention was paid to the development of skills in the village of Ulyanovsk. Here, firefighters understand that a seemingly simple exercise requires perfect coordination and composure. The algorithm of actions — from forming the splint according to anatomical contours to monitoring the condition of the victim during transportation — must be worked out to automatism.
