Today, 17 special services have been created and function in the structure of the Ministry of Emergency Situations, including fire extinguishing and rescue services, chemical and radiation safety, engineering works, diving, medical, explosion engineering, aviation, search and rescue, parachute, pontoon, canine, etc.
