When he arrived the truck was parked on the north side of the plant, between units 3&4, but was later relocated to the turbine hall. He was called over to Lieutenant Kibenok, who was assembling a squad to climb to the roof. This squad consisted of Vasily Ignatenko, Nikolai TItenok, Nikolai Vashchuk, Vladimir Tishura and Viktor Kibenok, but since they were city firefighters, they didn't know their way up to the roof. Volodymyr Pravyk shift leader of ВПЧ-2, the power plant's fire station, volunteered himself to guide them. Titenok was part of a hose team along with Nikolai Vashchuk, with Titenok operating the nozzle.
