In Ulan-Ude opened a modern water rescue station

In Ulan-Ude on November 10, the official opening of a new modular water and rescue station on Mostovoy Street took place. The modern complex is located next to the Udinsky Bridge. Now city rescuers have their own equipped base, which will allow faster response to emergencies and provide assistance to residents.

The opening was attended by the Mayor of Ulan-Ude Igor Shutenkov, Chairman of the City Council of Deputies Chimit Balzhinimaev and his deputy Anatoly Belousov. The guests solemnly cut the red ribbon, inspected the premises, special equipment and equipment, officially opening the complex.

The location for the station was not chosen by chance. Thanks to the location near the Udinsky bridge, rescuers will be able to quickly travel to different parts of the city - from the Upper Berezovka to the Left Bank. After all, in a fire, accident or accident on the water, the count often goes for minutes, and sometimes seconds.

The new building provides everything necessary for the full work of the search and rescue service. There are rooms for round-the-clock duty shift, spacious changing rooms, showers, kitchen, rest rooms, training classes and storage areas. There is also a large garage where cars and boats are located.

All equipment and special equipment are now under one roof, in warm rooms and constant readiness for departure. In the arsenal of rescuers – wetsuits for diving, protective helmets, safety ropes, cords and other equipment necessary for rescue operations on water and land.

Ulan-Ude Mayor Igor Shutenkov noted that when creating the station, special attention was paid not only to technical equipment, but also to the conditions in which employees work.

“Our rescuers got their own home. We found a place near the Udinsky Bridge, from where you can quickly reach almost anywhere in the city. Seconds and minutes often determine a person’s fate. The complex provides everything: rooms for duty shift, storage of equipment and equipment, training classes. There is a place where employees who are on duty around the clock can rest and eat, Igor Shutenkov said.

The importance of the new base was also noted by the Chairman of the City Council of Deputies Chimit Balzhinimaev. According to him, a modern station will allow rescuers to arrive faster for calls and more effectively help citizens.

“Today we are seeing the result of a great collaboration. A new building was built, the necessary conditions for our rescuers were created. This is really important, because employees make a large number of trips, sometimes several times a day. Now they will be able to quickly go anywhere in the city and timely come to the aid of people. This is a large team of professionals who work for the benefit of our residents. We are confident that with the emergence of such a base, the safety of citizens will become even higher. And, of course, we will continue to support the development of this service, said Chimit Balzhinimaev.

Deputy Chairman of the City Council of Deputies Anatoly Belousov called the opening of the station the fulfillment of a long-standing dream of rescuers. He stressed that human lives directly depend on the speed of response of employees to emergency situations.

“Our rescuers' dream came true: they had their own home. We all know how important these people are. Much depends on how quickly they can react to a critical situation. Now they have the opportunity to travel faster to various incidents. These are road accidents, water emergencies, and other cases when people need help, Belousov said.

The new station is not just a building to house equipment. This is a full-fledged base where rescuers will be able to carry out duty around the clock, undergo training, restore strength after complex challenges and maintain equipment in readiness.

Now, those who come to the aid of others every day have their own modern home. And the city has additional opportunities for rapid response to emergencies and protection of life and health of Ulan-Ude residents.
