These people are involved in the liquidation of accidents and emergencies as soon as the accident occurred, even before the arrival of the Militant Mine Rescue Detachment.

Coach Irina Pavlenko, chairman of the Dobropolskaya city organization Red Cross notes: "We are striving to teach the residents of the region the methods of providing first aid to the victims, thereby reducing mortality. We want people to be kinder, more merciful, help each other. Elementary first aid skills, first, relieve the fear of harming the victim, which often makes people stay away. Secondly, they help to save a person's life before the doctors arrive. "
"Such lessons are very important, and they need to be held more often, attracting as many participants as possible," says Yevgeny Prokopenko, a mining master of the RVR-1.

After all, in an emergency situation, the account often goes for a minute and before the arrival of medical personnel a person can die. "
