The competition began with a draw, according to the results of which sandruzhina SAZ was assigned
the 17th starting number. For our team, the competition began with the passage of the focus of an infectious disease.
The tasks of the sandruzhinnitsa were carried out clearly and flawlessly, and the team
went to the next stage, to the focus of chemical damage, without penalty points. At
this stage, it was necessary to detect the affected, establish the symptoms of harmful
effects, provide first aid and evacuate the victims from the zone
of harmful effects. Work in the hearth was complicated by the need to do everything
actions with the use of personal protective equipment – gas masks, rubber
gloves, etc.

As at the previous stage, our girls accurately completed all
the tasks and headed to the next stage, where they had to pass
an equipment check and confirm the skills of owning a gas mask. To do this, it was necessary to
perform two exercises: putting a gas mask on yourself and putting a gas mask on
the affected person. Checking the service equipment did not cause any difficulties for the team
. The first exercise using a gas mask was also
successful, its execution took a little more than 6 seconds, with a standard of 11 seconds. A
here, during the second exercise, force majeure happened: one of
sandruzhina's gas masks had a technical malfunction, because of which it could
not be put on the affected person in any way. This affected the time of the exercise,
instead of the permissible 14, it was 18 seconds, which brought sandruzhina 5 penalty
points.

      Чувство горести и обиды сопровождало девушек на выходе с этапа. Работа с
противогазами всегда была визитной карточкой команды.
Впереди оставался самый сложный этап – работа в очаге ядерного поражения.
Здесь необходимо было правильно оказать помощь большому количеству пораженных, их
роль выполняли 6 статистов, определить степень тяжести каждого, порядок эвакуации и
провести их эвакуацию из очага с использованием носилок. Помимо отличных знаний и
навыков оказания первой медицинской помощи, работа в очаге требовала слаженности
санитарной дружины, грамотности действий командира и физической выносливости, ведь
каждый статист – мужчина плотного телосложения, а сандружинницы – женщины,
работающие к тому в средствах индивидуальной защиты – респираторы, перчатки, очки и
т.д.
