On November 12-13, 15 specialists from the Rescue Service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Armenia underwent training at the Center under the program “Search and Rescue Operations in Blockages”.
The training was conducted by teachers of the State Academy of Crisis Management of Armenia. During the theoretical training, the rescuers studied the technical characteristics of hydraulic, hydrodynamic and pneumatic rescue equipment.
The practical part of the training included tasks to free victims, punch openings in reinforced concrete structures, overcome obstacles in cramped conditions, and work with a crane-manipulator unit.
This program allowed to increase the competence of Armenian rescuers in the field of conducting rescue operations in case of collapses of buildings and structures.
