A practical lessons for smoke divers аt LSULS

A practical lessons for smoke divers took place at Educational Fire and Rescue Unit.
In general such classes consist of three practical stages.

The second stage considers radio communications, the order of the required information transmitting via portable radio stations. The security guard on the post carries out the necessary calculations over the parameters of air in SCUBA devices and informs the leader about the results.
