In Vasilyevo, fire hydrants are actively being cleared.

      Heavy snowfall has caused a lot of inconvenience not only for pedestrians and motorists. It has also complicated the work of firefighters, as fire hydrants necessary in case of a fire were buried under the snow. In the village of Vasilyevo, there are currently about two hundred fire hydrants, most of which are managed by the Zelenodolsk Water Utility. Representatives of the executive committee, together with water utility workers, organized work to clear the fire hydrants of snow and ice. - More than half of all streets have already been cleared, and the hydrants have been cleaned, - comments Guzel Askarova, deputy head of the executive committee. - The work is being carried out systematically and will continue. - During the winter period, fire hydrants are often buried under snow or blocked during snow removal operations, - explains Eduard Mukhamedzyanov, head of the 8th fire and rescue squad. - This is a serious problem for firefighters when they are extinguishing fires. Therefore, we appeal to residents of private houses with a request - when clearing adjacent areas, please do not bury the fire hydrants with snow and clear them if possible, as this affects people's safety. During the annual preventive operation "Housing," employees of the 8th fire and rescue squad visit residential houses, communicate with local residents, remind them of safety measures, and distribute leaflets.
