Oleksandr Prodan was a firefighter and rescuer, on August 9th, in Zaporizhzhia - he was doing what he always did, reaching the wounded after a Russian strike: when a second Russian strike hit the same spot a second time and killed him. Two of his colleagues were wounded and rushed to hospital.

He had served in Polohy, in the Zaporizhzhia Oblast, until Russia occupied the town. He got out, and then he went back to the work.

He didn't leave the profession, and he didn't leave the people who counted on him.

He leaves a wife and a 17-year-old son.
