Several fire brigade employees refused to carry out their duties and demonstratively emptied water from a fire truck parked near the parliament onto the street.
The emergency services employees were transporting water to the water cannons parked on the protest site, which are used to disperse the protesters.
The emergency services employees stopped the fire truck and approached the citizens on Rustaveli Avenue. The protesters applauded the gesture of the emergency services employees. They said that this was an act of civic heroism.
