The head of Pyatigorsk awarded rescuers for saving two children

The head of Pyatigorsk Dmitry Voroshilov thanked rescuers of the rescue service Alexander Sviridenko and Oleg Alefirenko for courage, efficiency and professionalism in the rescue of two children on October 1.

That day, the children were in the open window of an apartment building. Sviridenko and Alefirenko were the first to arrive and, without waiting for reinforcements and special equipment, immediately began rescue. Thanks to their concerted and determined actions, the tragedy was avoided. The head of the city expressed sincere gratitude to the rescuers for their loyalty to duty, dedication and readiness to come to the rescue at any moment.

The case in Pyatigorsk shows that when the lives of children are threatened, the count goes by minutes, and the decision of the rescuers to act without special equipment was justified. But the award is only the end of the story: in such situations, prevention plays a key role - bars and locks-blockers on windows and control by adults, the Ministry of Emergency Situations for the Stavropol Territory noted.

Earlier it was reported that rescuers in the Stavropol region pulled out passengers lost control of the catamaran.
