How does Russia Fight Wildfires? - RT Documentary

As a professional firefighter, Anatoly Burmakin has been extinguishing wildfires for more than 40 years. He work takes him to the remotest and most inaccessible places on Earth, where ground transport is oftentimes unable to traverse. Under such circumstances, Burmakin gets to his worksite by helicopter, often forced to face the flames by parachute. He says the most important thing about the work is to act together as a team. Watch our post and the documentary, ‘Wildfire Warriors’ (2021) about this hazardous job on the Day of Fire Protection in Russia. Congratulations to all firefighters on their professional holiday!
