About company Services experience Technologies Documentation Contacts Manual Congratulations on the Day of the Firefighter from the director of the company "Marine Complex Systems", Hero of Russia - M.V. Motsaka Dear colleagues and friends! On April 30, one of the most vital rapid response services of the Russian Federation, the fire brigade, celebrates its professional holiday. From time immemorial to the present day, fire has been one of the sailor's worst enemies. As early as November 13, 1718, Peter's Decree was issued on the construction of pontoons and the installation of water hoses on them to extinguish fires on river ships and in coastal structures. And already in 1722, the first naval fire brigades were organized at the Admiralty, armed with filler pipes, hooks, buckets, axes. From that moment on, all types of ships had to be equipped with the necessary firefighting tools. Today, ship fires are still the most difficult to extinguish. Despite the fact that modern ships and vessels are equipped with fire extinguishing systems, automatic fire alarms, and special technical equipment is used during their liquidation, the main role remains with the specialists of fire departments and personnel. For 10 years, having headed the Interdepartmental Commission for the Prevention and Elimination of the Consequences of Emergencies in the North-Western Federal District, I saw from the inside how dangerous and difficult the service in the fire brigade is. I would like to congratulate all professionals - employees of the Fire Department of the EMERCOM of Russia on the Day of the Fire Department of Russia! I wish only "dry sleeves", calm shifts, good health and well-being to you and your families!
