Chisinau, 8 December /MOLDPRES/ - A post of rescuers and firemen was inaugurated in the Ucrainca settlement, south-east Causeni district on 7 December. The station will provide safety to 1,700 residents from two villages.  

The press officer of the General Inspectorate for Emergency Situations (IGSU), Liliana Puscasu, has said that the post was opened by the aforementioned inspectorate in cooperation with the first- and second-level local public authorities within the programme on strengthening the service of rescuers and foremen in Moldova’s rural settlements.
