Bloggers visiting rescuers
Several live online broadcasts were conducted today from the base of the Kazan Search and Rescue Squad, a branch of the Volga Regional Search and Rescue squad of the Russian Emergencies Ministry. The reason is that for the first time in the history of the detachment, bloggers came to visit the rescuers, who were ready to immediately acquaint the army of their subscribers on social networks with the activities of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia, the search and rescue service. Such an informal meeting was organized by specialists of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia, ANO Dialog and the Regional Management Center of the Republic of Tatarstan.
The introductory lecture to the guests was "read" by the head of the CPSO Igor Katsyuruba. He briefly and in a language accessible to Internet broadcasters told about the rescue service, its goals and objectives, about the special equipment in service with the detachment.
He also said that rescuers of the Kazan Search and Rescue squad were repeatedly involved in eliminating the consequences of various emergencies. The plane crashes in Perm in 2008 and in Kazan in 2013, the tragedy of the passenger ship "Bulgaria" that sank to the bottom of the Volga in 2011, the fire in the Admiral shopping center in 2015, the search for victims and the analysis of rubble at the site of collapses of residential buildings after an explosion of household gas in the neighboring republics of Chuvashia and Udmurtia, and a number of other emergencies.
The blog tour continued with the acquaintance with the cynological service of the detachment. During the tour, bloggers had the opportunity to cuddle the "shaggy" companions of the dog handlers, which they did not fail to take advantage of, stroking the withers of the dog with one hand, with the other - filming this historic moment on a mobile phone.
Then there was a demonstration of the rescue equipment of a special vehicle. Lifeguard Rustem Nurgaliyev alternately took out the "stuffing" and told what this or that tool was needed for.
The tour ended with an inspection and shooting of other rescue equipment, including a modern snowmobile of domestic production.
