Ministry of Emergency Situations holds another simulated fire exercise (video, photo)

At the initiative of the State Fire Control Service and with the participation of the State Fire Protection Service of the Ministry of Emergency Situations, an exercise was held at a multi-story residential building in Khachmaz city.

The exercise was conducted to assess whether firefighting vehicles can approach the residential building and the water reservoir with the "simulated fire" alarm signal, and overall operational conditions for firefighting in the area.

During the exercise, it was determined that the irregular parking of private vehicles in certain areas restricted the free movement of fire trucks in part of the residential complex’s courtyard. In addition, a number of fire safety deficiencies were identified in the complex, including the absence of primary firefighting equipment and the lack of a fire alarm system installation.

Verbal and written "instructions" were given to the persons responsible for fire safety of the buildings to eliminate the mentioned shortcomings, and at the same time, educational conversations were held with residents about ensuring fire safety. It was noted that vehicles should be parked only in designated areas, maintaining a safe distance from each other, and ensuring free passage for other vehicles, in order to allow entry of special-purpose vehicles into the courtyards of buildings without obstruction, to quickly bring them into combat readiness, and to conduct operations effectively, as well as to conveniently use water pools and hydrants in case of fires or other emergencies.
