The local men who filled the ranks were often related or from the same villages, and their longstanding relationships were hard for his authority to penetrate. Nevertheless, Pravyk led by example, and was attentive to the needs and desires of his subordinates. He brought their concerns and requests for time off and improved living conditions directly to Telyatnikov. He once publicly opposed his commander over what punishment a subordinate of his was to receive for confusing dates and missing his shift, calling for leniency in addressing the misunderstanding. The firefighters of his shift held him in high regard. Leonid Shavrey, a firefighter and squad leader in the Third Watch, is quoted as saying:
675:. Volodymyr and Nadia Pravyk had one daughter named Natasha, who was born in Pripyat two weeks before the disaster at Chernobyl. When the disaster occurred, his parents came to visit him at the Pripyat hospital prior to his evacuation to Moscow. Through the window, Pravyk told them to see that his wife and daughter were evacuated safely to her parents' home in Central Ukraine, and that until that time they should stay indoors with the windows closed. When Pripyat was evacuated the next day, Nadia and Natasha Pravyk would travel to

many times before, and was a common occurrence. A few seconds later, the much larger hydrogen explosion ripped through the roof of the fourth power unit, right in front of their eyes. Within an instant, the men on shift, Pravik among them, scrambled to the fire station doors to see what had happened. They immediately sprang into action and began donning their protective gear as fast as possible. Pravik ran back into his office, presumably to grab a radio.

bitumen covering on the roof had also begun to melt, making the working environment extremely hot, and the melted asphalt stuck to their boots, making it hard to move around. The water pressure from the hoses wasn't high enough, as the hose length had been stretched to its limits leading the fire hoses they had to be largely ineffective. Instead, the firemen reportedly stomped on the burning pieces of fuel in an attempt to extinguish them.

to his death. Four minutes later, Major
Telyatnikov makes the decision to call up the second shift of firemen from the nuclear plant's fire station. Pravik's report of an explosion in the reactor hall catches the attention of the central fire dispatcher in Kiev, who fifteen minutes later, decides the Ukrainian KGB should be called as the fire involved the reactor.

Pravyk was a very good guy. Brainy and competent. He was very knowledgeble about radio engineering, which he loved very much.

The firefighting on the roof of the ventilation block was made difficult by the fact that the dry pipes running up the height of the reactor building were shattered by the force of the explosion. This required hoses to be laid manually, seventy meters high, to the roof of the reactor building. The

At around the same time (01:35), Lieutenant Viktor Kibenok arrives with 9 firefighters from Pripyat. Initially arriving on the southern side of the plant, along the turbine hall. Kibenok raises Pravik over the radio. Pravik tells him that his men have the turbine hall roof fires under control, and

According to a 2008 report by UNSCEAR, Vladimir Pravik received the highest confirmed dose at Chernobyl. His dose was estimated to be 1370 REM, which is nearly triple that which would be considered a lethal dose. His cause of death was deemed ultimately to be complete respiratory failure.
