Tatarstan units of the Ministry of Emergency Situations received 27 units of new equipment purchased at the expense of the republican budget. 12 "Lada Niva Legend" 4x4 passenger cars, 4 "ASH-7" staff vehicles, 2 fire tankers, 2 ladder fire tankers, 6 "Sobol" rescue vehicles, and a "Sirius" hovercraft joined the service.

Today's generation of firefighters and rescuers of the republic honors and worthily continues the glorious traditions laid down by our predecessors.
The results of the work of the entire EMERCOM in the republic over these three and a half decades speak for themselves. Our firefighters and rescuers have saved thousands of lives and saved a significant amount of material assets.
If we look back into history, back in the 90s, when the EMERCOM was just created, we will see how our performance in saving human lives, in particular in fires and on water, has changed for the better.
