It has been 8 years since I published my last video compilation of German ambulances responding code 3, so it was time to create a new video. But it's not only about ambulances, but all kinds of different EMS vehicles. As it can be difficult to draw a clear line between primary EMS vehicles and other services which run emergency vehicles which don't run as actual EMS vehicles, but are still used for medical care in the one way or another, I included all different kinds of emergency vehicles which are related to prehospital medical care in Germany, like units from fire departments, quick response groups and disaster management units. What I skipped are units from the different water & offshore rescue services and mountain rescue.
The videos are from all across Germany, from the north and south, west and east, from large metro areas to rural counties in the middle of nowhere. Among all the emergency vehicles listed in the following overview there are some truely unique and rare to see units, like for example ambulances from industrial / plant fire departments, airport fire departments and emergency services, an ambulance from a state's riot police service, both an doctor car and Ambulance from the German Armed Forces, doctor car from a water rescue service and even a Porsche doctor car.
Different kinds of emergency vehicles you can see here:
ALS Emergency Ambulances, the typical ambulance which will come to you in case of an emergency
BLS Transport Ambulances, primarily for non-emergency scheduled runs, but can act as First Responder Unit
Emergency Doctor Cars, staffed with EMT / Paramedic and Emergency Doctor for potentially critical patients.
Children Emergency Doctor Car, running only critical calls involving children
Doctor Ambulance, an ALS Emergency Ambulance with an emergency doctor on board
Bariatric Ambulance, typical ALS Emergency Ambulance but equipped to handle oversize & overweight patients
Stroke Ambulance, dispatched in case of a potential stroke and equipped with CCT
Large Capacity Ambulance, buses which are equipped to treat and transport several patients at once
Mobile Intensive Care Unit MICU, for intensive care interhospital transfers
Baby MICU / Ambulance, for normal and intensive care transports of babies
EMS Chief Car, coordinating incidents with several patients
Command Van / Truck, coordinating incidents of greater scale
First Responder Car, usually from volunteer fire departments and volunteer quick response groups dispatched to cover the time until an ambulance from further away arrives on scene
Motorbike, often running patrol on weekends during the summer and dispatched as first responder
Segways and golf carts used as first responders at large festivals
ALS & BLS Ambulances from quick response groups, staffed by volunteers and dispatched in case of larger incidents or an unusual peak of incoming emergency calls
Crisis Intervention Team / emergency pastoral care to take care of relatives or involved people on scene in case of traumatizing incidents
Emergency Doctor / Rescue / Intensive Care Helicopter: helicopters used for the different kinds of air rescue operations
Equipment Vans and Trucks, used to haul lots of medical and technical equipment to larger incident
Maybe want to review the video?
