firefighters exercise despite Russian bombs

In Ukraine, the city of Kharkiv is targeted every day by missiles, glide bombs and kamikaze drones. At the foot of a ravaged residence, firefighters are looking for victims. When they are not in intervention, they tirelessly train to rescue civilians in the most difficult conditions. In a barracks, men are on duty four days, 24 hours a day. Firefighters regularly have to take shelter while bombs fly over the city.

A 30-year-old young man lost his father, also a firefighter and truck driver. The man was responding with his father after a missile strike when the Russians targeted the rescuers. “We were sent to the scene of a strike. While we were putting out the fire, we received information that several kamikaze drones were flying in our direction“, he remembers.
