Artistic and Documentary Tribute for Rescuer's Day
In honor of Rescuer's Day, the Poltava region released a compelling artistic-documentary music video for the song "Born in Fire." This video features authentic footage capturing firefighters tackling massive blazes, conducting search-and-rescue missions, and clearing debris caused by Russian strikes on civilian infrastructure. The production was led by the Main Directorate of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine in Poltava.
About the Song and Its Performers
"Born in Fire" pays homage to those who risk their lives daily to save others and manage the aftermath of emergencies. The song is performed by Andriy Didenko, a soloist with the Poltava Regional Philharmonic, a participant of X-Factor, and a finalist of The Voice of the Country: Reloaded. The lyrics and project direction were crafted by Artur Matevosyan.
- Alex Newgen handled the arrangement, production, directing, mixing, and mastering of the video.
- The musical accompaniment was created by Poltava musicians Yuri Zirca, Mykhailo Shamraievskyi, Andriy Orlov, and Yuliia Pashchenko.
- A genuine emergency call conversation between a caller and a rescue service dispatcher was voiced by Artur Matevosyan and Oleksandra Voloshyna.
This project highlights the critical role of rescuers and their invaluable contribution to public safety.
Beyond showcasing the skill and dedication of emergency workers, the video serves as a powerful reminder of their essential role, especially amidst ongoing armed conflict. Initiatives like this raise public awareness about the challenges faced by rescue teams and boost the morale of those who bravely carry out dangerous duties every day.
As the Poltava region celebrates the bravery of its firefighters, it’s also important to recognize the broader contributions of rescue workers across the country. In a recent tribute, Andriy Danyk acknowledged the dedication of these heroes on their professional holiday, honoring those who have made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty. Such initiatives not only uplift the spirits of current rescuers but also remind us of the ongoing challenges they face daily.
