‘Russian Cops Put Out Fire
With Snowballs’
"Two
traffic police officers have been commended in the Siberian region of
Krasnoyarsk for averting a tragedy when they rushed to help put out a fire
armed with nothing more than snowballs.
"First Lieutenant Yevgeny Lunin and Lieutenant
Pavel Istomin were on patrol in the village of Kuragino when they witnessed
heavy smoke rising out of a garage next to a house, police said in a statement Monday.
"They
alerted the fire department and helped facilitate the evacuation of residents
before the flames spread.
“'The guardians of law and order continued to
hurl snow at the burning fence and garage gates before firefighters arrived,' the Krasnoyarsk regional branch of the Interior Ministry said.
"The fire started after a car parked in a garage
short-circuited, it said.
"The statement added that the two traffic police
officers would be awarded for helping to avoid the tragedy."
