RT published this video item, entitled “-57°C | Siberian firefighters use hammers to remove frozen uniforms” – below is their description.
A team of firefighters in Yakutia were forced to batter their colleagues with hammers and axes to remove their frozen uniforms after tackling a blaze in icy temperatures.
A video that went viral from last Sunday showed the firemen hammering the ice crust off each other following the fire at a store in the village of Khandyga. Temperatures that day stooped as low as minus 57°C (70.6°F).
“Such cases are quite common for us when firefighters come out wet after a fire, and the water freezes on their suits,” a fire service spokesperson said.
