Today at 17 o’clock a man called the rescue service and said that a man was drowning in front of Shubin Street on the Kuznechikha River. According to the caller, the person crossing the river fell 100 meters away. The moment of failure was also noticed by the rescuers of the central rescue station on Loginov Street.
Rescuers drove to the scene almost immediately. They had to run several hundred meters, since it was problematic to get to the place by transport.
The man was pulled out of the hole and a rope was attached to him as insurance in case of repeated failure. He was also given warm rescue gloves, as he froze his hands and tore blood on the sharp ice floes.
At this time, the Khivus hovercraft with the rescuers of the Arctic center approached the ice hole. All were taken aboard and taken to the shore, where the victim was handed over to ambulance doctors.
