The
PHOTOSTORY
DELMI ALVAREZ
Firefighters
of
Riga
Firewomen on duty received the incoming calls, and a brigade go to the place. In this case when I was covering the first story with them, we received a call from Old Riga. Two ladies make a call because a bird was trapped in the roof of the buildings. The hot of the day was high. "The bird can died with this wether if we dont arrive soon" told me the sargent.
The bird is bring for the brigade to the animals shelter. There the doctors check the animal and stay in the hospital till cure the pain.

The duty of the firemen is 24 hours and take a rest of three days. They dont earn too much money and need to work in other jobs. But is the life. After the service they have a lunch if dont are busy.

Many times they dont eat in all day because they are busy.  In the evening they play ping pong or read in the dorm.
