On August 16, starting at 4:33 p.m., the Shirak regional operational control center received alarms that due to wind and heavy rain, basements and yard areas of a number of addresses in Gyumri were flooded, tree branches were broken, and an electric pole was bent.
Combat teams and operative groups from the fire-rescue squads of the Regional Rescue Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Azerbaijan went to the scene. The rescuers, responding promptly to all the incidents, carried out the delimitation of the areas, draining water from the basements and yard areas with motor pumps (about 85 cubic meters in total), as well as cutting and removing the broken branches.
