Kostroma firefighters staged a football match in the snow in full gear

Kostroma firefighters organized an unusual football tournament.

They themselves noted that all they had left from the usual game was the ball. And indeed, they ran around the snowy area in breathing apparatus and 30-kilogram combat equipment. There it lasted exactly until the moment when the breathing apparatus whistled, signaling that the oxygen had run out.

Two teams entered the improvised field: the specialized PSCh of the Federal Border Guard Service of the Kostroma region and the PSCh No. 2 for the protection of the city of Kostroma. Spectators were stunned that these tough men could still run.

– We carry out endurance training in this form all the time. This not only increases physical endurance, but also brings personnel closer together, helps them become more united and friendly,” said Pavel Ivanov, head of the fire extinguishing service.

By the way, the guys played the match immediately after extinguishing another fire.
