Kazakhstan’s Minister of Emergency Situations Murat Mukhanov and Almaty Region akim Chingis Arinov opened a new rural emergency response unit in Nurgisa Tilendiev village, Ili District. The facility was built in several months with support from a benefactor.
The site houses volunteer firefighting teams under the ministry’s Aul Qutqarushylary project, an ambulance team and a local police station. Bringing the services together is intended to reduce response times and make emergency assistance more accessible to residents.
The unit is in a densely populated settlement of about 20,000 people and can also serve nearby settlements in other rural districts. A workout area has been set up on the grounds.
