On August 8, 2025, in Saint Petersburg, Russia, a video captured a firefighter falling from the third floor of a training tower during a “Best Tanker Squad” competition. The event involved teams placing a fire truck on an open water source, laying hoses, and delivering a nozzle to higher floors using fire escape ladders. One participant lost his grip and fell, losing consciousness upon impact. The Emergencies Ministry confirmed he was unharmed, as the tower’s design included an airbag that cushioned his fall.
