Yesterday, March 24, the Kostroma Department of the Emergency Situations Ministry held exemplary exercises to rescue a person who had fallen through the ice on the bank of the Kostroma River near the Ipatiev Monastery. More than 200 schoolchildren and students witnessed the actions of the rescuers, for whom these exercises were at the same time an open lesson in personal safety on the theme “Thin ice is dangerous”.
In the VK group of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Emergencies of Russia for the Kostroma region, the course of the exercises is described: the “wounded” (played by a pre-trained rescue diver) went out on the fragile ice source – and he fell under him, the person ended up in freezing water. photo of the Ministry of Emergency Situations
But that’s what the exercises are for – the “victim” first showed in practice how a person himself can get out of a hole on the ice, and then the rescuers who arrived at the emergency place on a hovercraft demonstrated how they would pull a drowning person out of the water using life-saving devices.
At the end of the event, a lifeguard dressed as a life-size brown bear puppet gave instructions to the audience on how to (and not to) behave on the spring ice.
