Acting Head of EMERCOM of Russia Alexander Chupriyan in an interview RBK It is stated that Russia is in place in the world in terms of the number of deaths in fires.
“We are in first place in terms of the number of fires per 100 thousand people – 5.8 deaths per 100 thousand people. This was clarified by Chupriyan, for example, in the countries of the post-Soviet space, for example, in the USA and Germany. “
In most cases, when used by the Ministry of Emergencies at the legislative level, housing or unexploited buildings can be checked.
Chupriyan also believes that firefighters should not be held responsible for those people whom they could not save.
“We cannot save everyone by definition. And not a single country in the world, by the way, can do that. But out of three we save two, ”he concluded.
Formerly Chupriyan named one of the most important tasks of the modern Emergencies Ministry.
