More than 100 rescuers of the Ministry for Emergency Situations took the oath of allegiance to the Motherland at the University of Civil Defense. These are specialists of the Minsk City and Minsk Oblast Departments of the Ministry for Emergency Situations. All of them have already completed the initial training stage and officially joined the ranks of the rescue agency. It is symbolic that the important words of the oath were spoken on a professional holiday. Today the Belarusian Fire Service celebrates its 172nd
anniversary.
