The number of fire cases as of October 1, 2019 reached 8,509 against the 5,478 registered in the same span of the past year, emergency situations minister Felix Tsolakyan said at a press conference on Friday.
“It is an unprecedented index and the volume of our work in this regard was huge. The fireman displayed heroic work and managed to extinguish the fires in time,” Tsolakyan said.
The minister stressed that during the first nine months of the year the 911 service served 1 million 404 thousand calls.
“Works are being carried out to improve the apartment conditions of the fireman-rescuers. Probably we will register serious success to help them in getting apartments at lower costs,” the minister said.
