A special pedestal of a fire truck was opened on the territory of the Specialized Fire Department No. 2 of the Emergency Department of Astana. In a solemn atmosphere, the honor of cutting the ribbon was presented to Damir Ermagambetov, Deputy head of the capital's emergency Department, and Kanatbek Adenov, chairman of the Council of Veterans of Emergency Situations.
The installation of this pedestal is aimed at increasing the importance of the profession of a firefighter-rescuer in society, as well as respect for rescuers among citizens, the younger generation, paying special attention to ensuring fire safety.
The tank truck AC-40 model Zil 130 63B, produced in 1985, is designed to deliver combat crews, fire extinguishing equipment, fire-technical weapons to the fire site and feed them to the fire source. This brand of car was in service in all units of the former Republics of the Soviet Union, including the units of the garrison of the fire service of Astana (during the former Tselinograd district).
