How is a fire department organized? .
After visiting the American fire department, I became very interested in how things were going in our country. I received an invitation to visit one of the fire and rescue teams (FRS) of the Moscow Fire and Rescue Center - PSO-202. Well, what can I say... I was impressed, I saw not at all what I expected: a brand new building, first-class equipment, including even thermal imagers, sociable, cheerful firefighters. And also, when I asked one of them about the salary, he said: “Our salary is normal. More than the Russian average.” You rarely see this...
To begin with, the entire building looks like a botanical garden. The detachment was lucky with the commandant. Thanks to her, the staircase and offices are literally buried in greenery.
Firefighters spend most of their working day, when not on call, in a classroom or gym.
19 subjects are studied. From 4 to 6 pm they take the standards. Tests are taken in all disciplines several times a year.
One of the standards is to climb to the 4th floor of a fire training tower (the height of a 4-story building) using an assault ladder. The standard (this is for a C!) is 26 seconds, and the best ones are taken - attention - in 10 seconds!
In the basement, in a separate room, there is a gym and a rocking chair.
On average, firefighters go out 3-5 times per day, which is recorded in the log.
In the part hangs the icon of the Burning Bush - the patroness of all firefighters.
They cook for themselves in the kitchen.
After lunch, if you have free time, you can relax in front of the TV.
Everyone sleeps in an air-conditioned room. This was especially true during peat fires and smog. They are on duty every 4 days.
The unit has a special drying cabinet that completely dries the combat jacket (fireman's jacket) in 15 minutes!
During the Moscow smog, a lot was written about fire hoses and what types they were. There are many types, but there are two common diameters: “A” (77 mm.) and “B” (51 mm.) It turned out to be quite simple to distinguish type A from type B: 3 fingers fit into the hole of sleeve A, and only 2 into sleeve B .
Despite the fact that the tower has long been no longer used by firefighters to monitor the city, it is still built in every fire department - fire hoses are dried in it. They are hung on a grate and lifted up using a special mechanism.
This is the office of operational duty officers throughout the Fire and Rescue Center. The duty officers monitor the work of the units and go to all major incidents in order to, if necessary, supervise the work of their units.
The operational duty officer has the vehicles of all Fire and Rescue Squads marked on his board, and he sees where they are at every moment of time.
In general, there are more than a hundred fire departments in Moscow. All of them are marked on this map.
A call about a fire is received by the NCC - Force Control Center, and then forwarded to the nearest fire station, where the call is received by a dispatcher.
During the speed challenge, everyone descends from the second floor along special pillars. As they explained to me, the main thing is not to cross your legs, otherwise you can easily break them.
They put on overalls already downstairs and very quickly. Boots stand ready along with pants.
And the combat jacket is put on over the head.
Already on the run or in the car, they put on a helmet and a belt with an ax. By the way, the average time for rescuers to arrive in Moscow is 7.5 minutes.
Rescuers use two types of breathing apparatus - “air ventilators” and “oxygen ventilators”. The first Drager PSS-90 are open-cycle devices. Breathing air is taken from a cylinder. This device is lightweight, but designed for a short operating time (about half an hour).
The air supply is controlled by a computer.
They exhale air into the central hole, and it is supplied around the perimeter under a slight pressure, blowing the glass of the mask and preventing it from fogging up.
"Oxygen maker" Drager BG-4 is a closed-cycle device. In it, the exhaled air passes through a special filter, then is slightly saturated with pure oxygen from a small cylinder and returns to you again. BG-4 allows you to breathe normally for up to 4 hours.
The air here is not supplied through the glass, and the mask may fog up. To combat this, it has a manually operated internal wiper.
The equipment of each PSO-202 rescuer must include a Portable Rescuer Self-Rescue Kit. This is a thin but strong 20-meter rope that a rescuer can use to climb down from a window if the fire has cut him off from the exit.
At my request, they drove the emergency rescue vehicle (ASA) out onto the street and told me what it was equipped with.
On the right are 3 sets of the PSS BG-4 breathing system (each rescuer has his own apparatus), the blue box contains a tool for opening entrance doors, and the orange box contains control panels for high-pressure pneumatic jacks. The yellow case contains low-pressure air bags. Next to them in the depths is a suitcase with an electric hammer drill.
There are various ropes in a metal box, and traffic cones just above.
Lightweight breathing apparatus PSS-90 is mounted at the rear on an outgoing rail.
Nearby, on the same rails, a unit with a hydraulic tool moves out.
The orange bag contains a suit for rescuing victims in cold water. Something like a wetsuit, but insulated.
The “running end” is a luminous cable that helps you move in conditions of heavy smoke.
In our country every year April 30 noted Firefighter Day.
On this day in 1649, Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich signed a decree establishing the first Russian fire service.
The fire service is one of the oldest government agencies in Russia. Back in 1504, during the reign of Ivan III, a fire watchdog was founded in Moscow, and in 1549 Ivan the Terrible issued a decree on fire safety, which obligated all residents to have primary fire extinguishing equipment in every house.
In 1649, 2 documents were published that were directly related to fire safety. The first, the “Order on City Decoration,” essentially laid the organizational foundations for professional fire protection in Moscow.
The order determined the staffing of the fire department, its equipment, constant duty, detours of cities, and established penalties for violations of the rules for handling fire. Moreover, these provisions applied to all Russian cities. For the first time, officials responsible for compliance with fire safety rules appeared.
The second document is the “Code of Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich,” which prescribed the rules for handling open fire. Criminal liability was introduced for careless handling of fires and arson.
During the reign of Peter, in order to combat arson, it was decided to organize the first fire service and already in 1722, on the territory of the Admiralty, city residents could see the first Russian firefighters. This team was armed with filler pipes, hooks, buckets, and axes. All types of ships were equipped with the necessary firefighting tools.
To provide fire equipment to military units involved in extinguishing fires, in 1740 the Senate approved standards according to which each regiment was equipped with a large filler pipe, a water vat and canvas; the battalions had to have pitchforks, ladders, a large hook with a chain; the company was equipped with axes, buckets, a shield, shovels, hand pipes, and hooks. In 1747, all government agencies were equipped with fire equipment.
In 1857, the first fire regulations in Russia were published. It strictly prescribed precautionary measures and the procedure for compensation for losses, as well as the internal procedures of fire departments.
Since 1858, the military-police telegraph began to be used for firefighting purposes, and in the nineties - the telephone and electric fire alarm.
A special uniform was introduced for firefighters: for the fire chief - a helmet, gilded, with the army coat of arms, a ceremonial half-caftan of dark green cloth, double-breasted, with silver embroidery, trousers, boots, and a sword. For an ordinary firefighter - a bronze helmet with scales, a gray semi-caftan, blue shoulder straps, trousers, boots, and a cover for an ax.
The creation of the Russian Firefighting Society in 1892 (since 1907 - Imperial) played a major role in the development of voluntary fire brigades.
In 1907, the first fire truck appeared in Moscow. In the same year, a fire alarm was installed for the first time in Kitai-Gorod.
In March 1999, the Minister of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation issued an order to consider April 30 as a professional holiday for fire department workers, in commemoration of the 350th anniversary of the Order on City Decoration.
Currently, fire safety activities are regulated by more than 10 federal laws and legal acts of the Government of the Russian Federation.
The most important event occurred at the end of the twentieth century. For the first time in Russia in its entire history, on November 18, 1994, the State Duma adopted Federal Law "On Fire Safety", which determined the general economic, legal and social foundations for ensuring fire safety in the Russian Federation.
A new stage in the development of the fire service was the creation of the state fire and rescue service. On November 9, 2001, the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation “On Improving State Administration in the Field of Fire Safety” was issued, according to which the State Fire Service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation was transformed into the State Fire Service of the Ministry of the Russian Federation for Civil Defense and Emergency Situations and disaster management."
Thanks to the Russian fire service, up to 450 thousand fires are prevented annually and material assets worth 45 billion rubles are preserved.
The Russian fire service has a rich history dating back centuries. With the advent of the first settlements and the development of cities, fires broke out in them more and more often. Heavy damage was caused by fire tornadoes in Rus', where, since ancient times, mainly wooden buildings were erected.
The formation of Russian statehood provided many examples of decisive actions to overcome social and economic barriers that stood in the way of history. Fires have been and remain a brake on economic development. In this regard, the central authorities of Russia were forced to take certain measures to protect against them. Even Grand Duke Ivan III, who at the head of the royal squad participated in extinguishing the fire of Moscow in 1472 and, despite severe burns, proved himself to be “very good,” immediately issued a decree on fire safety measures in the city. The heirs of Ivan III on the Russian throne were no less decisive. Tsar's decrees on severe punishment for those responsible for fires alternated with demands to use stone in construction, not to place houses close to each other, etc.
Even in the difficult time of troubles, abundant in raids of invaders and internal strife, the fight against the fire disaster in Rus' did not stop.
The fires on Russian soil are not going away. Novgorod and Pskov, Moscow and Smolensk, Ryazan and Tver, Kostroma and Vladimir are burning... In 1212, fire in Novgorod turns 4,300 households into ashes, killing hundreds of people. The fire of 1354 practically destroys all of Moscow, including the Kremlin and posads, in two hours, and the firestorm of 1547 claims several thousand lives in the capital.
The most important transformations in the field of fire fighting took place during the reign of Alexei Mikhailovich Romanov. In the “Cathedral Code”, developed in 1649, eight articles strictly regulated compliance with fire safety rules in cities and other villages, as well as in forests.
In April 1649, the royal “Order on City Deanery” was issued, establishing strict procedures for extinguishing fires in Moscow.
The historical value of the Order lies in the fact that it laid the foundations of a professional fire department: a paid staff was created, constant duty was introduced in the form of a city bypass, the use of mechanized water pipes was provided for when extinguishing fires, the bypasses were given the right to punish city residents for violations rules for handling fire. The City Deanery's fire fighting service was introduced not only in Moscow, but also in other cities of Rus'. The improvement of fire protection services continued.
Further development of preventive measures to prevent fires was given by Peter I. It was during his reign that one of the first professional fire brigades was created, the first fire station was built at the Admiralty, fire pumps with leather hoses and copper fire hoses were purchased. And to this day one of Peter’s decrees remains relevant: “... and protect the wealth of the Russian state from fire...”.
During the reign of Alexander I in 1803, the first fire brigade was organized in St. Petersburg. By royal decree in 1804, a full-time fire brigade was created in Moscow.
Under Tsar Nicholas I, the systematic organization of fire brigades in the Russian Empire and the widespread construction of fire stations to accommodate fire brigades began. One of the attractions of Russian cities soon became a fire tower with a signal flagpole rising above it. For many decades, the tower was the highest point of the city, from where you could see not only the outskirts, but also nearby villages.
During the 19th century, fire-fighting equipment factories were opened in St. Petersburg and Moscow, where fire pumps, folding ladders were produced, and the first fire truck was manufactured.
Scientific and technical thought in Russia has always been distinguished by boldness of search, originality of solutions, and rapid implementation of ideas. Russia has become the birthplace of foam extinguishing. In Russia, one of the best designs of hydrants and stands was created, the first manual foam fire extinguisher was developed and tested.
The problems of fighting fires received attention even after the revolution. They were placed at the level of the most important and priority tasks of the state. Already on April 17, 1918, the Russian government signed a decree “On the organization of state measures to combat fire.” The first head of firefighters in the post-revolutionary period was Mark Timofeevich Elizarov, appointed Chief Commissioner for Insurance and Fire Fighting. In a relatively short time, he was able to lay the organizational foundations of the fire department and put the implementation of the measures defined by the decree on a practical footing.
In 1920, the Central Fire Department was created as part of the People's Commissariat of Internal Affairs, which was entrusted with the management of fire protection throughout the country.
On March 23, 1923, the First All-Russian Fire Conference was held in Moscow, which was attended by professionals - firefighters from Russian cities, as well as delegations of firefighters from Ukraine, Belarus, Georgia, and Azerbaijan.
At the Conference, practical steps were outlined for the systematic development of fire protection. Particular attention was paid to preventive work at industrial and transport facilities, in rural areas, to the need to develop scientific work in the field of fire fighting equipment and fire prevention. The conference recognized it as advisable to have workers specializing in the field of fire prevention in fire departments.
The first steps are being taken in organizing the training of fire specialists. In December 1924, the Leningrad Firefighting College opened with a three-year training period.
A unified system of State Fire Supervision was taking shape, which, together with professional city and public fire departments and volunteer fire brigades, was called upon to carry out both preventive and defensive measures to combat fire. Responsibility for the fire safety condition of factories, workshops, and warehouses rests with their managers. This government decision disciplined officials and contributed to the improvement of fire fighting.
The production of domestic fire fighting equipment and weapons is being established, the first domestic fire trucks, mechanical ladders, smoke exhausters are being supplied to fire departments... At the end of 1927, the professional fire department of the country's cities already had about 400 domestic fire trucks in service. At the same time, the training of fire brigade personnel was improved, and new educational institutions were expanded and opened. The first graduation of fire specialists took place from the walls of the country's first Faculty of Fire Defense Engineers. To conduct scientific research and organize design developments in the field of fire protection, a fire testing laboratory was created in 1931, and since 1934 - the Central Research Fire Laboratory, which later became the All-Russian Research Institute of Fire Defense.
In 1936, the government decided to significantly expand the functions and rights of the fire department in the field of state fire supervision. The Government Decree approved the Regulations on State Fire Supervision and created the Main Fire Department.
During the intense years of the Great Patriotic War, firefighters extinguished fires caused by enemy bombs and shells, helped evacuate people and equipment, and were among the last to leave abandoned cities. More than two thousand professional and volunteer firefighters gave their lives saving the beautiful city on the Neva from destruction by fire. On November 7, 1941, firefighters took part in a historical parade on Red Square, from where some went to the front, while others returned to putting out fires.
For the courage and heroism shown during the Great Patriotic War, thousands of soldiers and fire officers received military orders and medals. In 1941, the Russian Government expresses gratitude to Moscow firefighters for the courage and heroism shown in putting out fires during enemy raids on the city. In 1942, the Leningrad fire department was awarded the Order of Lenin. In 1947, the Moscow fire garrison was awarded the Order of Lenin.
Modern living conditions of society contribute to an increase in the number of fires and the size of the socio-economic consequences from them throughout the world. Every year, more than 5 million fires occur on the globe, from which several tens of thousands of people die and material assets worth tens of billions of monetary units are destroyed. Enormous damage to nature is caused annually by forest and peat fires, as well as fires from emergency oil and gas gushers. Fires in the 20th century became a real disaster for humanity. This forces specialists to constantly look for new, more advanced means and methods of fighting fires.
Fire protection now is a complex system that includes the fire extinguishing service and preventive apparatus of the State Fire Supervision, which performs the task of protecting the property and property of Russian citizens from fires.
Most often, firefighters have to solve tactical problems with the help of the duty guard - this is the main tactical unit in the combat work of firefighters. The guard is constantly ready to go to the fire. All guard personnel are given a very strict time limit for mustering alerts - forty to fifty seconds. During this time, firefighters must put on combat clothing, take their places on the vehicles, receive the address of the fire from the dispatcher, and go to the place of extinguishing.
To successfully extinguish a fire, you need water or foam, fire-extinguishing powder or inert gas, a smoke mask or heat-reflective suit, a ladder for rescuing people, a device for opening building structures in order to penetrate to the source of combustion. Dozens of devices, instruments and various kinds of devices are required for a firefighter to successfully fight fire, smoke, sizzling heat, and he must always maintain high efficiency, speed, endurance, and composure.
Saving people in a fire, providing them with quick assistance, protecting material property is the sacred duty of every firefighter.
In the process of increasingly widespread development of the latest achievements of science and technology, brought to life by the acceleration of scientific and technological progress, issues of their fire and explosion safety must also be resolved.
Fire prevention is one of the main areas of work of the fire department to ensure the life and health of people and the preservation of material assets. All work in the field of fire prevention is subordinated to the main goal - reducing the number of fires, reducing human casualties and reducing material damage from fire.
Fire prevention is considered as a system of state and public events carried out in our country to prevent fires, successfully extinguish them and create conditions that ensure the safety of people in the event of a fire and their evacuation.
In 2001, according to the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation, the State Fire Service became subordinate to the Ministry of the Russian Federation for Civil Defense, Emergency Situations and Disaster Relief.
Today, the State Fire Service (SFS) is a powerful operational service within the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia, possessing qualified personnel, modern equipment, and a developed scientific and educational base. State Fire Service units annually make about two million trips, while saving more than 90 thousand people from death and injury in fires.
According to statistics, the majority of fires (72.4%) are registered in the residential and industrial sectors. The main reasons for their occurrence are careless handling of fire, including drunk citizens, violation of fire safety rules when operating electrical equipment and household appliances, violation of fire safety rules and improper installation of stove heating, etc.
Scientific support on fire safety issues is provided by the All-Russian Research Institute of Fire Defense. Training of fire safety engineers is carried out at the Academy of the State Fire Service of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia, the St. Petersburg University of the State Fire Service of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia, the Ural and Ivanovo Institutes of the State Fire Service of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia, the Voronezh Fire-Technical School of the State Fire Service of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia.
Fire protection appeared in ancient Moscow. There was a so-called “fire duty”. Since the 16th century, the Zemsky Prikaz was responsible for fire protection. Professional fire protection appeared in Moscow on May 31, 1804 by decree of Emperor Alexander.
Ancient Moscow was built up mainly with wooden houses. Then there was a “fire duty”, which was borne by the city residents themselves. The townspeople performing this duty (one person from 10 households) had to carry out patrols at night with their fire equipment. At the end of the 15th century, for fire safety purposes, there were attempts to demolish all wooden buildings near the Kremlin.
Since the 16th century, the Zemsky Prikaz was responsible for fire safety and fire extinguishing. In the event of a fire, teams of lower servants (yaryzheks) and archers were sent to the site of the fire. Fire brigades had water barrels, pumps, ladders, hooks and other equipment.
On April 30, 1649, Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich signed a document entitled “Order on the City Deanery.” With this order, for the first time in Moscow, constant, round-the-clock duty of fire patrols was introduced, which were ordered not only to take an active part in extinguishing fires, but also to monitor compliance with the fire safety rules that existed at that time. For fire safety purposes, Peter I tried to limit the construction of wooden houses in Moscow. Water intake wells, and later fire pumps, appeared on the streets of the city.
In 1792, fire brigades were transferred to the police. On May 31, 1804, by decree of Emperor Alexander I, a professional fire department appeared in Moscow, and “fire duty” was removed from the citizens. Fire departments were located in special mobile yards, where horse-drawn fire wagons and equipment were located. Each unit was led by a fire chief. To monitor fires, units began to build watchtowers. When a fire was detected, the sentry gave a signal, 2.5 minutes were given to prepare the convoy, after which it was sent to extinguish it.
In 1918, the Fire Department of the Main Directorate of Internal Affairs of the Moscow City Executive Committee was formed in Moscow. By 1926, horse-drawn trains were replaced by fire trucks equipped with special ladders, pumps, tanks and other extinguishing equipment. In the 1930s, the city actively built fire stations, expanded the water supply network, and installed street hydrants. During the Great Patriotic War, fires caused by German incendiary bombs were promptly extinguished by the fire brigade.
Since 1965, units and divisions of the Moscow paramilitary fire department began to be staffed by persons called up for active military service. Before this, fire brigades were formed from long-term service soldiers. The conscription of conscripts to Moscow fire departments continued in 1996, when 900 people were drafted into the capital's fire departments. The firefighters lived in barracks. Unauthorized abandonment of a unit by firefighters was a crime. They stopped sending conscripts to fire departments in the early 2000s.
By the end of the 20th century, the city's fire departments were equipped with pump trucks, tank trucks, special vehicles and devices for extinguishing fires. Helicopters are used to fight the fire.
Fire department of the Ministry of Emergency Situations
The fire department of Russia consists of the state fire service, municipal fire department, departmental fire department, private fire department, and voluntary fire department. These fire departments are organized by volume, scale, and vertical.
The state fire service is, in essence, exactly the fire department that we all know and call if a fire occurs. This is both the federal and territorial fire service.
If you have decided in advance to think about what to give a firefighter for the Day of the Ministry of Emergency Situations, New Year, February 23 or Fire Department Day, then you should pay attention to high-quality.
Structure and divisions of the Russian fire service
Municipal fire protection includes all bodies, forces and means that create municipalities in cooperation with or as a supplement to the state fire protection. The specified security is created by local governments in municipal areas, in small municipalities - rural districts, settlements, cities, for example, the Moscow fire department.
Departmental fire protection is a body that is created by federal executive authorities and organizations to ensure such important conditions as fire safety and security.
Private fire protection is an integral part of the fire safety system created in organizations and populated areas. Private fire organizations enter into contracts for the provision of fire safety services.
Voluntary fire protection is a form of voluntary participation of the population in the implementation of the primary stage of fire safety.
The fire department of the Ministry of Emergency Situations, among its main tasks, organizes fire prevention, resolves issues of rescuing people and property in fires, organizes fire extinguishing and carries out emergency rescue operations.
Fire fighting is an action aimed at extinguishing fires and saving people and property. Emergency rescue work carried out by fire departments is the rescue of people, property, bringing to a minimum level the effects of hazardous factors that are typical in emergencies, disasters and accidents.
Issues of organizing and implementing fire prevention are a set of preventive measures that are aimed at preventing the occurrence of fires and limiting their consequences. These are complex events of a propaganda, informational, technical and organizational nature.
Activities and history of the fire department of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of the Russian Federation
The activities of the fire department do not include prevention, elimination of conflicts of an interethnic and socio-political nature, or mass riots. The functions of individual agencies are separated by federal law because fighting fires is different from maintaining public order.
By the way, right now you have an excellent opportunity to order a very worthy gift for fire department workers - a cover for the “Fire Supervision of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of the Russian Federation” certificates.
The state fire service is an integral part of the forces ensuring the safety of people, society and the state. There are many structures designed to protect people, society and the state in Russia. We are talking about the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, internal affairs bodies, the Federal Security Service, Internal Troops, etc.
The history of the fire department suggests that this service is deservedly placed on a par with other protective agencies in the country. The fire department of the Ministry of Emergency Situations coordinates the activities of all types of fire protection. The legislation considers the state fire service to be the leading force in the fight against fires and their consequences. All other fire services are under its jurisdiction.
An excellent, high-quality and inexpensive gift for workers in this important field can be the one available for order at the Voentpro military store.
The Ministry of Emergency Situations is a ministry that is authorized to resolve the entire range of fire safety issues. The Ministry of Emergency Situations consists, among other structures, of the Department of Fire and Rescue Forces, Civil Defense Forces and Special Fire Brigade. Each subject of the Russian Federation has a structural unit of the ministry that implements state policy in the field of fire safety.
The system of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of the Russian Federation includes state fire supervision bodies. Their general task is to identify and suppress offenses in the field of fire safety, punish the perpetrators, and ensure that violations of the law are eliminated.
The Ministry of Emergency Situations system operates a number of fire-technical, research and educational institutions, which are designed to develop new equipment, materials, operating procedures that are used to ensure fire safety, as well as train qualified personnel.
Where are fire department specialists trained in Russia?
First of all, it is worth mentioning:
Academy of the State Fire Service of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of the Russian Federation;
St. Petersburg University of the State Fire Service of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of the Russian Federation;
Ivanovo Institute of the State Fire Service of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of the Russian Federation;
State educational institution of secondary vocational education "Technical Fire and Rescue College";
Voronezh Fire-Technical School of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of the Russian Federation;
Ural Institute of the State Fire Service of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of the Russian Federation and other organizations.
It is obvious that the Russian fire service is very attentive to the personnel issue.
Fire departments exist at every airport, seaport, nuclear power plant, oil refinery and other large facilities. They carry out fire protection tasks for these objects, but can extinguish other objects if necessary. Serious firefighting measures are being taken to ensure the safety of military airfields, cosmodromes, and training grounds.
Do not forget that modern fire protection in Russia is part of the structure of the Ministry of Emergency Situations, therefore, you may be very interested in a unique one from the military trader Voenpro.
What does fire protection and safety include?
The Russian fire service performs the following main functions:
Organizes and carries out state fire supervision on the territory of Russia, excluding facilities where other state bodies perform the functions of state fire supervision;
