Monument to the Rescue Hero

The monument to the “Hero-rescuer” in Donetsk was opened on September 14, 2006. It was installed in the square right in front of the fire station No. 2. The opening of the monument took place shortly before the holiday - the Day of Civil Protection Workers. The monument is a high figure of the rescuer (height 5 meters) against the background of the stele, whose height is 7 meters.

The idea of the monument is that the rescuer with his chest protects the city, people, as on the stele we see the depicted buildings and people. In the creation of the monument, the initiative was shown by the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Ukraine of Donetsk region, and also helped financially. At the base of the monument, a capsule is laid, which should be opened in 50 years by descendants and read a message for them.

The author of the monument is Viktor Fedorovich Piskun.
