Kostroma rescuers were looking for a fisherman in the middle of the night Volga

The real drama unfolded last night on the Volga. In the area of the village of Lunevo, a man fell from a rubber boat. It was 21:00, it was already dark.

Fortunately, the main safety rule worked: the man was wearing a life jacket. It was he who kept him afloat in the middle of a huge river for almost two hours while the search was underway. Without this equipment, the outcome could have been tragic.

A team of rescuers PPS KO combed the water area with searchlights. Only closer to 23:00 the boat with a man noticed in the dark. The man was lifted on a boat, wrapped in thermal blankets and heated. Surprisingly, the hero of the story refused to go to the hospital, saying that he felt normal, and returned to his tent camp.
