It's good if all communications in the house work properly. However, there are often cases when a breakdown occurs on a power line or gas (water) pipe. Recently, natural disasters have also become frequent, which cause harm not only to communications, but also to people. In order to eliminate all malfunctions, their consequences, as well as save people's lives, emergency services are needed. Among them are gas, rescue, as well as organizations for the repair of water pipes and gas lines.
What is the emergency service and what does it do?
To begin with, let's deal with the concept itself. Emergency services are special formations that are constantly ready to go to the place of a breakdown or emergency and eliminate it. Naturally, all vehicles and technical means of these teams must be operational 24 hours a day.
Represented services should perform the following tasks:

Naturally, each service has a list of more specific responsibilities.
Who can work in a team?
All employees must be qualified and have appropriate theoretical and practical training. The moral qualities of employees are very important. For example, they should try to provide as much help as possible in any case.
And gas workers, and electricians, and rescuers must have a certain specialized education. The professional level of the employee is also important. Each employee must know that he is responsible for the life and he alth of people, so he must take his duties responsibly.

For example, in order to become a lifeguard, it is necessary that a psychologist and psychiatrist confirm that a person is fit for such service.

So, now let's take a closer look at the activities of each service separately. If youIf you know how to change a light bulb, that's good.

Features of work and functions of the emergency team of the water utility
Very often at industrial facilities, centralized highways, in private houses or apartments, there are breaks in water pipes or sewer blockages. If the damage is not significant, then you can deal with them yourself. However, there are times when an emergency water utility service is required.
Specialists of the brigade perform the following functions:

- warningand emergency response;
- protection of the territory and citizens from any danger of man-made or natural nature;

Everyone should know the emergency number. The number 112 is the same for all organizations. However, each service has its own phone number:
- firefighters – 101 (01);
- ambulance – 103 (03);

- gas service – 104 (04).
As for the numbers of electricians and employees of the water utility, they must be recognized in the city where you live, since they do not have a common telephone number.
