Acting RT President – Prime Minister Ildar Khalikov has met with Chief state inspector of Russia on fire supervision Colonel General Gennady Kirillov in the RT Government House.

“I am glad that Kazan was chosen for holding Coordination council of the Russian ministry of emergency situations on issues of ensuring fire safety and improving supervisory activity,” Ildar Khalikov said welcoming Gennady Kirillov.

After the summer of 2009 and large amount of fires we have changed our attitude to such measures as readiness for fire-hazardous period, equipping of fire stations with necessary machinery, ensuring fire safety of objects and settlements.
