Forces and means of the Karkarala aviation branch and the karkarala GNPP were thrown to fight against the fiery element. In the localization and liquidation of the fire were involved: a helicopter and 3 paratroopers-firefighter Karkarala aviation branch, 10 people karkarala GNPP, 1 unit of equipment. Thanks to quickly taken measures the fire was liquidated on the small area-0.0005 hectares.
A day later, paratroopers-firefighters were made descents from the mi-8 helicopter to the ground with the help of a special trigger device (SUR). Descents were carried out from a height of 30 and 40 meters. From such a height, paratroopers-firefighters have to work directly when extinguishing forest fires.
The helicopter can get as close to the ground as the trees allow. Working out of practical skills of "forest special forces" was carried out by experienced mentors-heads of flight-production and air-fire services.
It should be noted that it is not always possible to reach the area of an active forest fire by land transport, and when delivering forces and means by air-to pick up a platform for a safe landing. In such cases, it is decided to land troops in the area of the fire with the help of a helicopter. The pilot-observer from the air picks up suitable for the descent of paratroopers - firefighters platform, the size of at least 5x5 meters between the crowns of trees.
The helicopter hovers over this "well" at a height of at least 10 meters above the tops of trees (the height to the ground should not exceed 45 meters). The pilot-observer opens the door and drops a particularly strong (900 kg at break) 50-meter cord, which with the help of a trigger roller device, directly from the helicopter to the ground, descend paratroopers-firefighters.
