Hello all,

I was just curious about firefighters in Russia. I was a firefighter and E.M.T. for about 6 years. I really enjoyed this proffesion and found it very rewarding. It was nice to save somebodys property or help them when they had a medical emergency.
I was just wondering about this proffesion in Russia. Do women choose this this line of work? Do you have any wild land fires? Do you have fire stations everywhere? Just wondering is all. Gee I hope this topic doesnt turn into a flame fest.

In California we have wildland fires every summer and it can be a scary thing. Last summer I had to evacuate from my home because one fire got that close. Very nervous situation for me. Also does anybody know where I might get ahold of fire station T-Shirts from Russia, I collect them and would be interested in obtaining one.

Everybody have a good day. Very Happy

we have land fires Smile if you mean forest fires: it usually happen in summer in Siberia when the weather is hot and some idiots don't distinguish their cigarettes or campfires... But those fires are not as destroying as in Australia for example.
We also have fire stations Smile it's not surprising i suppose. I can't compare to Europe but still there's no technical problems of distinguishing the fire in big cities.
you can download to videos about fire in Moscow - http://videoarchive.rbc.ru/archive/2005/03/26/vmz_izmailovo_pozhar_2000.wmv and http://videoarchive.rbc.ru/archive/2005/03/26/vmz_izmailovo_pozhar_hrip_1700.wmv
so you can see how russian fires and firefighters look Smile
I hope i gave a useful information
