In the morning of 31 July, a Russian air strike in Kupiansk killed Inna Zamesova, an employee of Gazmerezha. The husband of the deceased woman arrived with his colleagues to extinguish the fire.
The death of the employee was reported in Telegram by the company's press service, Ukrinform reports.
"During the Russian terrorist shelling of residential buildings in the Velykoburlutska community of Kupiansk district, Inna Zamesova, a dispatcher of the emergency dispatch service of the Kharkiv branch of Gazmerezha, was killed," the post reads.
According to the press service, the woman was due to start her shift on the first day of August.
"Inna coordinated the emergency crew's visits to the community, while her husband was a rescue worker. The work of both of them was aimed at saving lives and helping people in difficult situations," said Gazmerezha.
The husband of the deceased woman arrived at the call after the air strike with his colleagues.
"The worst thing for rescuers is to respond to a call to their own home... Unfortunately, this happened to a firefighter from the Kharkiv Oblast State Emergency Service: the man came to extinguish a fire after a massive air strike and ended up in the ashes of his own home," the SES of Ukraine said.
