Пожарная каланча, Fire watchtower in Kurgan, Russia.
The brick fire watchtower reaches 28 meters in height and features classical architectural elements on its facades at Kuibyshev Street.
The construction of the stone fire watchtower began in 1881 and was completed in 1882 under the direction of city architect P.P. Vasiliev.
The watchtower represents a regional cultural heritage site and contains a memorial plaque dedicated to Ivan Grachev, who died during a rescue mission.
The fire station number 9 continues its operations with 45 staff members who maintain emergency response services for the local population.
A training mannequin named Gosha stands on the tower, serving both as a symbol and a practical tool for firefighting practice.
