Monument to Heroes of Firefighters

Saransk is a grateful city that honors and perpetuates the feats of its heroes in memorial buildings and monuments.

On Furmanov Street there is a sculptural composition dedicated to the brave heroes - fire fighters who died during the performance of their official duty. The names of these five heroes: Tenyakshev M. A. (1967), Kemaev G. A. (1974), Shapkin V. V. (1982), Bezrukov A. S. (1983) and Akmaykin O. B. (1996), will remain in memory for ever.

The monument is depicted as a figure of a firefighter dressed in the appropriate uniform, who bravely fights the fire. In one hand, he holds a fire hose and the other holds onto the edge of the flame tongue. The composition is installed on a pedestal lined with tiles. On the pedestal there is a sign with the words: "Heroes-firefighters".
