@ukraine.ua: After 27 years of service, Kyiv rescuers marked the retirement of Andrii Kolodii, Head of the Emergency Response Department of the State Emergency Service in Kyiv. Like many firefighters around the world, Ukrainian rescuers have their own traditions. When a colleague retires, they are 'baptised' with water by their team. For rescuers, water is more than just a tool of the job. It symbolises renewal and respect for years of courage, risk, and dedication. Video: petrovp.photo / Instagram #ukraine #rescue #firefighter
