The practical training organized by the SFRS will start at 10.00 in Buļļupe, opposite Kapteiņu Street.

The practical training will stage a situation where a diesel fuel leak has occurred in the Pilot Channel and a large spot of oil product has formed, which is moving towards the Bullupe. Residents, noticing this spot, call 112 and report to the SFRS. Upon arrival at the scene, firefighters rescue oil products with bonnets and collect them using pumps.

The aim of this practical training is to test the skills of firefighters to carry out and manage rescue work in the water area, as well as to check the work of SFRS officials with the placement of bonuses and the collection of substances of unknown origin from the water surface.

Taking into account that several emergency vehicles will go to the training venue, SFRS urges the residents not to worry about seeing the movement of emergency equipment and the operation of fire and rescue workers in the territory of Buļļupe.
