Staging Was a Success!

Last week, firefighters of the second squad of Federal Fire Service on RT became participants of fire show. That was a large-scale tactical training of extinguishing oil fires. Trainings of such level are a rare occurrence for the republic and the country as a whole, that is why they are held once in a few years. The main difference – absolute accordance to real conditions of a fire.

Not every fire department has a possibility to hold such a training lesson. There is a need in special conditions, a proving ground, much force and resources. Thanks to “Tatneft” company management’s comprehensive support and concernment, the arsenal of the second squad had everything listed above. The same can be told about fire technical equipment.

Two difficult battles laid ahead the firefighters. A steel reservoir with the volume of 2000 cubic meters was the first hostage of the fire. In a minute, a column of 11 fire engines was rushing to the scene. The next object – earthen barn. Oil spill on 240 cubic meters was waiting extinguishing by the firefighters. Two crews arrived to the “lake of oil” seized by the fire. According to the assessment of the trainings’ chief, the lesson went off on a high level, the staff performed all necessary actions competently and promptly.
