It’s very sad to think every fireman left this station in 1986 unaware of the hell that awaited them. All were all dead within a couple weeks. Only their highly contaminated boots and protective gear is left. Each fireman so radioactive, they had to be buried within the exclusion zone in welded zinc coffins covered with cement. True Heroes.
Ye when they left there they had no idea that would be their very last mission ever....all those firetrucks came highly contamined as well ofc and had to be buried into the ground in the Zone with the rest of the contamined vehicles...and to think those firefighter clothes are still to this very day in that hospital basement....creepy/sad stuff when you think about it.
Was it the guys from here that died so shockingly as I’ve tried to do research a lot about this as the plant. Had it’s own fire fighters who was first on seen
DAZ james Aside of a couple plant workers, the Pripyat Fire Brigade were alerted and were first rescue type service who were outside attempting to extinguish the highly irradiated and impossible to put out fire.
@@LC128 The plant firestation's firefighters were the first ones on the scene. Led by Lieutenant Pravik, I think there was about 15 of them in total. The men from this station (Pripyat) arrived about 10 minutes after the explosion. 6 of the firefighters from this station died because they were extinguishing fires on the roof of the highly irradiated 3rd reactor.
I would hope, as professional Firefighters working at a nuke plant that they would have had a working knowledge of the hazards involved. Sort of makes it sadder.
I'm glad he had enough of a brain too turn on his flashlight at around 5:25 and not just glad walking thru the door cause that would have been on hell of a fall
Very creepy and haunting footage. Made much more so because a good number of the men posted at that station left there on a suicide mission on that day in 1986. I wonder if just one of them had any idea how sick they'd become, or that they'd die a horrible, agonizing death within hours. The empty truck bays are also creepy. The last time trucks were parked there was probably that day in 1986.
Well none of them new that the whole freaking reactor had just blew up when they left the station....they only knew what was reported on that phone call that roof of the reactor was on fire. But ye its terrifying to think that on that night they left to their last mission...and ye all those fire trucks would have been later dumped to the same place where all other other contamined vehicles and later buried into the ground ( think those particular trucks might have been shown in one video with pictures from the vehicle graveyard that was taken like over decade ago)....just like those contaminated clothes in the hospital basement are very likely the same that the men from this particular station were wearing on that night. Anyhow thats why I think seeing that firestation and the paricular hospital and its basement is especially haunting, knowing what happened to those firemen.
@@Balnazzardi they knew. They were well informed ahead of time before even getting jobs as firemen near a nuclear powerplant. I am sure they all had the proper training but not the equipment to handle a situation such as Chernobyls meltdown. They had one goal if it ever happen and that was put the blazes out before it could spread and demage the other parts of the plant
@@Tmp866 well from My understanding they had no idea that the whole freaking reactor had blown up until they arrived at the scene.....either way, I dont think IT would have mattered how much they knew or not, they were going to do their Job either way.....just sad thing that they had to go through the most agonizing, terrible death possible.....and just because safety was of little concern in Soviet Union that so many had to suffer from it
@@Tmp866 As heroic as they were they actually didn't even have the training much less the equipment to handle nuclear disasters. They were trained and equipped as normal municipal firefighters.
I am not an expert, but some gloves should make all more safe, a contaminated splinter of wood or flake of rust in a wound isn't very healthy, even the chances of cross contamination, ingestion,... easy as: "My eye itches" then you scratch it and BAM you put caesium or any other isotope in contact to a sensible part of your body. But I think the big missing thing is some "cheeki breeki" ;)
Radiation levels and radiation in general isn't "dangerous", is like fire, the important thing is time and distance from the source. The real problem is the source of radiation, atoms and compounds it self, if some enter a body the distance gets to 0 and time increase or even stay inside forever. Take care ;)
Please, please tell me you had several dosimeters with you, along with proper protective equipment. If I remember there is a science girl on UA-cam who did that - using the dosimeters gave her a guide on how to navigate the many micro ‘hot zones’ present all over Chernobyl. Also led to amazing discoveries, like how the boots the firemen wore were outrageously radioactive, even to today... more informative for the watcher, and less “random spooky building” as it looks now. Sorry if my comments sound harsh, it’s meant to be constructive.
If you're not familiar with Chernobyl then this is definitely good advice. Many places in the exclusion zone have been decontaminated, and the fire station is one of the more well known safe spots. Also, the insides of buildings are generally safe, since the radiation comes in the form of dust that settles on the ground. The most contaminated places would be places where rain pools on the ground, because the runoff collects dust. Also objects used during the cleanup are very radioactive.
@@Jimmy-Mc the ground for the most part is the most radioactive thing in Chernobyl along with certain areas of the hospital (in the hospital if you know where to go and look you can find all the boots and gear from the firefighters and everyone brought in during the incident and their I one boot lying in the middle of the floor of the hallway that registers at 500. (And yes that is correct the 500 is before the decimal) and then if you stick your reader inside of the room next too said boot (their are just boots and clothes piled up in this room) your reader will go completely off the rail and off the charts (into the THOUSANDS)
Exactly. Ofc the vehicles became highly contaminated and they were later buried underground in the Zone along with tons of other contaminated vehicles as they were dangerous radiation hazard
It's so mechanics could easily get underneath the truck if they had to fix something. So they could stand and have space whilst also being able to be underneath the truck.
There is something so beautiful about Soviet architecture, the simplicity, modesty, and uniformity, its so beautiful! I'd rather live in a 250$ panel house in Moscow than a 950$ apartment in New York, and if the Russian economy was good or I could find a job that paid as much as I make now, I'd move there in a heartbeat!
I love watching videos about Chernobyl but you guy walk through to fast and the video is too shaky. please take more time to look at things and maybe invest in a Gimbal. But thanks for the footage! Ich liebe es Videos ueber Chernobyl zu sehen aber es wäre super wenn Ihr mal ein bisschen langsamer gehen wuerded damit man mal sehen kann was in den Räumen drinne ist. Das Video ist auch sehr verwackelt, investiert mall in einen Gimbal, das ware super. Trotzdem danke fuer das video!

Prypiat at night must be one of the most scariest places on earth
Lets go then! Lol
Im not kidding. Lets do it! We got time to save money and go over I really want to
Eh, I'd vote St.Louis or Detroit.
@@whozaskin3639 i'd vote Rio de janeiro
Pripyat is probably scary enough during the day. I can only imagine how eerie and creepy it is after dark.
3:19 there’s photos on the walls . One of them is a photo of one of the firemen who died
It’s scary to think this is the station that housed the fire fighters that responded on that dreadful night

Yeah you're right, many people dont think about The actuall danger in those places.
@@DiscoverChernobyl Oh boy they are not.
It will be lower the radioactive energy. But. It's always best to wear gloves tho

He's probably some big tough Ukranian who thinks radiation wouldn't dare mess with him or a dumb yank thinking its all gone and ok now!

My respect to you sir! You are fucking nuts!!!! Touching everything with bare hands going alone! Hope you had some good shoes. Great footage!!!👍
From this place the ff rushed to the CNPP and certen death! Rip all ff:s and all those who died due to this horrible disaster! 😔🥺😢
Great footage seen a few videos of inside the station,yours is much better,im off to pripyat soon in november,cant wait
Fucking hell with this background music! Most people are actually interested in hearing what walking through that is like. Gawhd!
Did you find any of thise cone shaped buckets
Did you find any artifacts?
Getting dizzy watching this Jesus.
Hopefully you don't run into any dark ones
What Are those rectagle Holes under the trucks?
It's so mechanics could easily get underneath the truck if they had to fix something. So they could stand and have space whilst also being able to be underneath the truck.
Can you translate to English what you were saying while going down the steps at 6:55?
you could try youtube auto generated captions- set to English
He speaks about the Dirt and Trash at this Place
can you make this again and Film the material
This is SWPCz-6 or WPCz-2?

Did you find any old fire helmets or suits?
No, as you see the station is looted, like any other building in the Zone (except some very few)
Why would people take things from the zone? I thought everything is contaminated.
@@Keesik.327 it was the soviet guards that looted the place not the people
Very brave
6:34 when opening something close it ,

Oh wow 4:54
