An unusual competition took place today in Petrozavodsk on Kirov Square: Karelian firefighters liquidated the consequences of an accident, the Republic of Karelia said in the public.
Teams from Prionezhie, Pryazh, Olonets, Suoyarvi, Lakhdenpohja, Medvezhyegorsk and Pudozh took part in the speed rescue operation. Rescuers-firefighters needed to cut the car as quickly as possible, remove the victim and provide him with first aid. In addition, several exhibitions were held on the square. So, everyone could see and get acquainted with fire and rescue equipment, as well as ammunition – the finds of the Demining Unit of the Karelian Republican Search and Rescue Service.
Frost-hardy guests of the holiday also had a chance to sit in a fire engine, ride a snowmobile and, of course, recharge their batteries, and at the same time warm up by eating a plate of hot porridge from the field kitchen and drinking steaming tea.
