this video covers quite a bit of material
the video from 1400 to end gives a very thorough overview of the
firefighters uniform - each firefighter has a portable radio - they
have hoods and 2 kinds of masks - they also have smoke hood for
victims - 1 of the scba masks attaches directly to their helmet -
maybe they have 2 lights they can attach to their helmet also - maybe
there's a yellow light on their primary flashlight - they might have a
mayday alarm also - they have a red rescue rope - etc
=================================
from yt description of the video
Sometimes in ordinary life, you don't notice them, and sometimes you
don't even miss them on the roads.
Ordinary people who save someone's life every day, risking their own.
Firefighters, firefighters, rescuers.
Recently, a subscriber wrote to me and suggested that I visit the
historical fire station, giving me contacts of the press service of
the Ministry of Emergency Situations. It turned out that he himself is
a firefighter. That's how I ended up in this most interesting place!

The East Fire Station building was built in Königsberg on Yorkstrasse
in 1900 according to the design of the architect Paul Mühlbach: red
brick, neo-Gothic historical forms. Currently, the building is used
for its intended purpose; it houses Fire Station No. 1 of the
Leningrad district of Kaliningrad. A curious corner of old Europe can
be found on 1812 Street.
Kaliningrad firefighters work in a real architectural monument and
treat it very carefully. Everything here is in excellent condition,
even the hinges and mechanisms on the gates have been preserved. You
can see not only the original doors, but also the original escape
post, the fire bell that is still in use, and the old tiled stove. And
the main highlight of the part is the preserved wooden paving stones
inside the garage! You won't find this anywhere in the city.
Also on the territory of the unit there is a very worthy Fire
Department museum, where a variety of exhibits are collected, from old
hydrants to fire trucks of different years of manufacture. All
equipment is on the move and takes an active part in the exhibition at
the annual professional festival in Kaliningrad dedicated to Fire
Protection Day.
By the way, Fire and Rescue Unit No. 1 has its own public page on VK,
where guys share their stories and first-person videos

I was very impressed with my visit to the fire station! Deep respect
for the firefighters not only for their hard work, but also for the
way they take care of the historical building. It's immediately
obvious that they are fans of history and their work. Incredible order
and comfort. Exemplary and indicative! Wooden paving stones that are
over 100 years old are something special. And what incredible emotions
do you experience when you slide down the slide from your bedroom
straight into the fire station. A real attraction)
I simply admire our firefighters. The guys left the best impression of
themselves! Thanks to the deputy chief of the fire department Anton
Kamenev for the fascinating excursion! It was cool!
I express my gratitude to the press service of the Ministry of
Emergency Situations for the visit https://vk.com/mchs.kaliningrad
P.S. By the way, now the most combative and historical fire department
is looking for brave and courageous guys for the position of
firefighters. There are very few vacancies left. Go for it!
FIRE SERVICE IN KONIGSBERG AND CURRENT KALININGRAD. Continuity of two eras.
The fight against fires was carried out in Königsberg from the very
beginning of its foundation. But the methods of fighting the fire were
initially ineffective. The main hopes were placed on the
voluntary-compulsory assistance of the townspeople. Each homeowner was
obliged to maintain the necessary fire-fighting equipment, immediately
come to the scene of the fire with it, and actively participate in
extinguishing the flames. At that time, little due attention was paid
to fire prevention in the city. Only in 1704 did the city authorities
decide to categorically prohibit walking along the streets at night
with lit resin torches and ordered citizens to use only hand-held
lanterns. Highly flammable materials began to be stored outside the
city, thereby reducing the risk of fires within the city, but because
of this, the suburbs began to burn more often. Workshops and forges
that used open fire were allowed to be set up only near large urban
reservoirs. For example, the mint was located on the shore of the
Castle Pond (now the Nizhny Pond), the copper production was at the
edge of the water of the Copper Pond (now the Yalta Pond), and the
blacksmith workshops were near the Hammer Pond (now the Pionersky
Pond).
The main fire observation point in Königsberg for a long time was the
Castle Tower. The tower was built in 1260 initially as a bergfried
(non-residential defensive citadel tower) of Königsberg Castle. In
1387 the tower was completed and began to be used as a bell tower. In
addition to the functions of a bell tower, the tower also served as a
lookout and observation function. On the topmost platform there was an
observer who lived on the lower floors. Its height above the Pregel
level was 94 meters, and above ground level - 82 meters, which made it
possible to view the entire city and its suburbs. The occurrence of a
fire was announced by a loud ringing of the fire bell. The observer on
duty on the tower indicated the direction of the fire using a red flag
(during the day) and a red lantern (at night).
