There is a good line of questioning here.
The position could be open to some debate. He could be a driver as in he drives the "special" fire engine but it could be that he drove supplies for maintenance to various servicing areas. It could be a different position again. There are a great number of times where the reality of someone's duties does not match the label at all.

Using Occam's razor I would go for just a general driver in this firefighting unit.

However, one dictionary I use also gives operator as well as driver.

Raisa Kuzminicha (really?) Bondareva

Although the patronymic is different in the Ukrainian doc. Kuzmivna. Seems more straightforward.

Order Book for Raisa with entries for a Badge of Honor and an Order of the Red Star, I think. . .

Yes, it's Kuzminichna in Russian (daughter of Kuzma). A man would have the patronymic 'Kuzmich'. Just like Ilyich / Ilyinichna, son / daughter of Ilya. :)

Raysa Kuzminichna Bondareva (that is, in Russian...).

As Alex indicated, she was awarded a Bravery medal and and ORS.
