The second stage was dedicated to providing first aid for various injuries sustained as a result of a fire. For this purpose, six training sites were organized. Members of the VSKS team sequentially demonstrated the algorithms of rescuers’ actions, while the leader explained step-by-step the procedure for providing first aid in:
