American Ambulances VS German Ambulances

- I'm sure I hit some people's soft spot with such a video - isn't it always like "the stuff here is always better, by any given aspect, than what you have over there"?!
In this video I compare ambulances in the United States of America and the Federal Republic of Germany.
Before anyone tries to attact me as if I'd create a biased video: I tried to make both segments equally long, however there are more video scenes for Germany, in contrast to that longer ones for the US. I tried to cover an as wide range of ambualnces as possible, but please acceppt that I can only use the videos I made myself, so the range of units I have from the US isn't quite as wide-spread.
For the American part I chose ambulances from various states, on the chassis of vans and pickup trucks, with and without box bodies, old and new units with old halogen to new LED emergency light setups. There are single ambulances as well as ambulance convoys and a nice range of colors as well. Unfortunately I don't know which ones are BLS or ALS units, or which ones might even be used as MICU (Mobile Intensive Care Unit).
Representing Germany I basicly did the same thing, with videos from all over the country: while approximately 99% of all German ALS Emergency Ambulances are based on the Sprinter, I tried to cover the other brands as well. Just like for the US part, I have again rather small to full-size ambulances with a box body, BLS Transport Ambulances to ALS Emergency Ambulances, also some special types like the BLS Disaster Management Ambulances, or a Large Capacity Ambulance Bus. I also covered rather old as well as brandnew units, with old and new lights setups, some with rather few or more or less porr lights, other with a wide range of excellent lights, with several grill / mirror lights, intersection lights and corner strobes etc ... As for the color scheme I chose both rather simple ones with plain red / white colors to ones with highlighted colors and reflective shapes / stripes.
To be fair: there are always pros and cons for each unit, and there are som factors or aspects where one country is ahead of the other one:
What's your opinion, or if available even experience with the one or the other side? Let me know in the comment section.

Amerika: Krankenwagen muss den anderen Autos ausweichen
Deutschland: andere Autos weichen dem Krankenwagen aus
maverick25121986 ich gebe vollkommen recht 😂
Auch in den USA gilt es Platz zu machen! Allerdings klappt das in New York leider nicht da die New Yorker ein unheimlich ignorantes Volk sind. Im Rest der USA klappt das alles sehr gut. Mal davon ab ist es oft tatsächlich sehr schwer PLatz zu machen in NYC, viel Verkehr wenig Straße. ^^
auch in NYC gibt's Zeiten wo die Straßen gänzlich leer sind :D
EnjoyFirefighting - International Emergency Response Videos hey I think the german are beter then the USA
I believe the laws are different. I'm not 100% sure, but in at least some states in the US it's not a criminal offence to fail to yield to an emergency vehicle, and the liability often lies with the emergency vehicle if an accident happens.
I'm from the Netherlands and I think it'll be pretty much the same in Germany: here it's a criminal offence if you don't yield and if an emergency vehicle gets in an accident they are not liable if they had both their lights and sirens on.
I don't know, why im sitting here in my room and watching this video.

In germany the ambulance have various siren sounds for land and city. The driver switched between them ^^

11:50 WTF .... Ist das ein Wohnwagen-RTW für verletze Holländer auf Urlaub?!
mipmipmipmipmip Gute Idee eigentlich! :D
mipmipmipmipmip Das ist die SEG (Schnelleinsatzgruppe), die haben da noch mehr medizinische Ausrüstung drin, wie z.B.: Rettungszelt usw. Die kommen immer dann wenn MANV (Massenanfall von Verletzen) ausgerufen wird oder es zu vielen Verletzten kommen kann.
Alter😂😂😂
Holländer haben halt immer einen Wohnwagen mit dem sie in den Urlaub fahren
I was wondering the same too
Also ich finde unsere Doppeltonfolge hört sich viel besser an als das Geheule. Bei den Amis hört man einfach nur eine Sirene, hat aber keine Ahnung wo die herkommt. Bei unseren kann man orten wo das Signal ungefähr herkommt, bzw. durch den Dopplereffekt hören, ob es wegfährt oder auf mich zukommt. Das sehe ich als einen sehr großen Pluspunkt an.
In meinem A4 höre ich den Rettungswagen erst wenn er auf meiner höhe ist. In meinem alten 3er war das genau so. Denke das wird in vielen Autos nicht anders sein. Ein Vorteil ist das nicht unbedingt. US Sirenen dagegen kann man gut hören. Mir ist vor einiger Zeit nämlich ein Notarzt mit diesem Gehäule begegnet, den hab ich viel ehr gehört als gesehen. Finde das ist ein erheblicher Pluspunkt.
Kommt auf den Typ an: Wenns diese kleinen putzigen Elektrohörner sind, dann kann man die in die Tonne kloppen, das hört echt kein Mensch. Bei den druckluftbetriebenen hebts dich vom Sitz, so laut sind die. Ansonsten die Musik leiser drehen :P
In Deutschland fahren die Einsatzfahrzeuge EXTREM beschissen.
In USA verlässt der Krankenwagen die Station, macht seine Sirene an, und macht sie erst wieder aus wenn er am Zielort ist.
In Deutschland hingegen spielen die Fahrer gerne mit der Sirene rum... An, Aus, An, Aus.
Ich hatte schon zwei beinahe Unfälle mit Einsatzwagen in Deutschland. Weil diese nur Blaulicht hatten, und keine Sirene. Und der Meinung waren die Sirene erst anzumachen, als sie 2 meter vor meinem Auto waren.
Würden diese Deppen ständig mit Sirene fahren, könnte man sie vielleicht schon von weitem kommen hören. Und sich darauf einstellen.
Aber nein!! Die Sirene wird kurz vor der Kreuzung angemacht, und dann wundern sie sich dass die Autofahrer komplett überfordert sind, und kein Platz machen können.
Karl S. deswegen sind im Video ja auch sämtliche US-RTW mit Dauerhorn unterwegs ... ach ne warte mal: sind die ja gar nicht, teils hupen die sich nur durch. Aaaalso nicht beschweren und nachtrauern, dass es woanders so viel anders wäre.
Ansonsten mal zum Ohrenarzt, man hört die in jedem Auto ziemlich gut :)
8:53 Sehr selten würde ich mal sagen.
Marco E.
ist nicht mehr selten bei uns in Marburg hat sogar die Feuerwehr das Ami geheule teilweise
Nur weil ihr es in Marburg auch habt, wie in manch wenigen anderen Gegenden, wäre es falsch zu sagen, dass es nicht selten wäre
Hab ich in Bremen nie gehört
die dinger spinnen manchmal rum. da das "folgeton horn" aber in der Stvo steht - sehr selten. irgendwo einem rumgehäule muss ich nicht platz machen.

You have to admit, comparing to New York, the capital of self-centred-ness is a bit unfair
Mike will ... you will never understand it, will you? I guess you would, but you don't want to ...
@Mike will not a single lie stating that an ambulance is from place A and filmed in place B ... also if you'd like to twist that fact, it will still be an ambulance from place A no matter if it's filmed in place B, C or Z
As I stated: you don't it ... just because it is filmed in NYC doesn't mean that it is from NYC. If an ambulance from LA would be filmed in NYC it would still be from LA. You continue with that nonsense that they are all from NYC although they are from other cities, other states. No excuse, not a single lie ... but obviously you are out of actual arguments, or you aren't able to handle a conversation without insulting me; Just sad ....
well, ambulances from Chicago obviously are, and Command Posts from the USACE from the west coast where on scene in NYC as well, and there were also German emergency vehicles as mutual aid support in New Orleans, so there's no need to call me all those things just because you don't know it! And no, even if you don't believe it, not everyone in the clip is from NYC ... as I stated numerous times before, some of them are from other states; Superior doesn't operate ambulances in NYC, they sent them as mutual aid support; I guess you can even see the sheets of paper reading ETRAC FEMA on some of those out of state ambulances because they were there as mutual aid, supporting local departments. That they'd be from NYC is simply a wrong statement, that's all! Quoting stuff doesn't make your wrong statements more correct :D
@@EnjoyFirefighting HELLO SIR
8:55 lol, didn't expect that siren at all
yeah, normaly u not allowed to use wail in germany
GalaxyOf Gaming
Yeah, I know. I live in Hamburg ^^ Never heard a wail siren in Germany before (except on the Harley Days, when they bring up the old american Crown Vics to escort the motorcycle parade).
Da du Deutsch bist, schreib ich mal Deutsch:) Da man die heutigen Signal Anlagen einfach, wenn man will, umprogrammieren kann, ist das kein Problem mehr:) aber ansich ist es verboten. Genau wie das Rot Blaue Blinklicht :D
Finnish emergency vehicles uses this one too
RICHVRD19 broken cat?😂
America still hasn't made the discovery that blue strobe lights are more noticeable than red wigwag lights...
They also need to change their sirens
@@venangoproductions why?
@@ruittruit3006 European countries do not use sirens. They use Two-Tone [High-Low] Horns so that the drivers can tell them from a bunch of of other cars honking. The USA we use sirens instead of horns. Notice more cars reacting to sirens in Europe? That is because Germany and many other counties "sirens" uses a type of sound known as a "rambler" You can hear and feel the frequencies for miles. It is hard to not notice. New York is actually thinking about adapting to European emergency alert sounds. U.S. emergency alert sounds are less effective compared to Europe.

Just came from a cs:go video to this Wtf!
Axis _ lol me too wtf
Why was this in my recommended too?
to see which country got the "best" :D
muudo but who won? :D
The change in range with the alternating tones on some of the German ambulances sure get your attention because it is so different.
It's 'Feldsignal' and 'Stadtsignal' if I remember it right, can't remember the brand of the unit. Friends of mine have an old German Volkswagen Firefighter bus in their collection, including the siren-unit. It has a connection to switch from 'Fieldsignal' and 'Citysignal'. The higher-pitched sound is used in the city if I remember it right, the lower-pitched in the fields, as it's range is greater.
Interesting, thank you. =-)
@@weeardguy there are for normal electric horns mostly Hänsch and Hella and the called Presslufthorn (the loudest and best, which is kinda airhorn) is from Max Martin, thats why germans call every signal here Martinshorn ;)
kriegen die in amerika eigentlich beigebracht das man bei "blaulicht" und sirene rechts ran fahren muss? kam mir in einigen scenen jetzt nciht so vor
Klar, aber die Leute sind einfach selbstbezogen. Außerdem ist die Führerscheindauer eher bescheiden, schlag mal nach, das ist echt lächerlich. Jeder fährt wie er meint.
Zusätzlich sind diese wopwopwop Sierenen echt schlecht zu lokalisieren, höchtestens von der Lautstärke. Die Dualton-Sierenen sind da welten von entfernt, da kann man ja sogar meist sagen ob es 1 oder 2 Querstraßen weiter ist.
Wie Ruben schon meinte, du fährst zweimal um den Block und schon hast du im der USA einen Führerschein.
Aber mal ehrlich, würdest du so einer fahrenden Discokugel Platz machen, die hinter dir anfängt zu Hupen und dabei noch nen halben Techno spielt oder einem Einsatzwagen mit nem guten alten Martinshorn, das jedesmal deine Scheiben erbeben lässt, und die Umgebung in Blaulicht taucht?
Meine Wahl: Unsere Fahrzeuge, auch wenn diese Elektrohörner eine Schande sind, erzeugen bei mir mehr Respekt, als so ein Teil was aussieht als währe es aus der nächsten Disco geflüchtet.
Links ranfahren
>>Sorry for the reply in english my German skills are a bad joke
Yes they do, and, in some states, you'll see ambulances followed by police cars to give tickets to drivers that don't yield.
**All** of these clips from the US were taken from New York, which is an extreme misrepresentation of a country that literally spans a continent. (Think saying Berlin is representative of the entirety of germany or that Lisbon is somehow representative of the Netherlands- there are nominal cultural differences from city to city, state to state, and region to region- even in driving styles).
Americans are generally worse at pulling over for emergency vehicles **and** generally worse at driving,
but using a sample size of one city among hundreds, one state among 50, is a poor representation of traffic and driving practices across the country.
Alot of the footage in this video simply would not fly in other cities in the US.
The quality of driver's education (if any) and testing from state to state varies massively and is more akin to comparing driving from country to country in Europe.
New York drivers are notorious for being _assholes_ and New York itself is notorious for having overly crowded streets without /room/
Throughout most of the country, there are emergency lanes on roads/highways/interstates for emergency vehicles but there's just no space in New York (see: assholes).
The average american driver is going to be worse as long as states have to pander to the lowest common denominator of driver. Because driving is a **necessity** for so many Americans, states have to make it so that a plurality of people can get a license. That train of thought just doesn't really exist anywhere outside North America (Canada is just as bad xoxo).
It's really a small symptom of alot more complex issues that are only just now starting to actually be notices and dealt with. My state reintroduced mandatory driving instruction in 2010. 20 hours of classes + 45 hours of road instruction. Still not as much as some Euro countries but better than nothing (which is what we had before- and some states still have). We STILL don't have mandatory vehicle safety and emissions testing in my state (they were repealed in the 90s after the state government almost went bankrupt) but there are growing efforts to bring them back, especially now as both of our neighboring states have introduced them.
Idk it's a lot but not because of one singular "oh everyone's stupid" or "oh they just don't know"
Everyone knows what they SHOULD do. People learn move over for emergency vehicles as children. They just /don't/ either because they are selfish pricks or because the road they are on simply **doesn't allow** for them to move over.
Die Amis sind mehr mit ihren ganzen Sirenen beschäftigt, als sich auf's fahren zu konzentrieren. ....klingt lustig..
Dirk T. Deswegen auch so langsam :P
Schon mal in Amiland gewesen oder nen Ami gefahren? Die Straßen in NYC sind der absolute Horror. Und die Federung der ALS trucks etc. ist unter aller Kanone.
Scoobz187 Deshalb fahren einige Rettungsdienste bei denen auch mittlerweile Mercedes Sprinter.

European ambulances don't charge $500-800 just for the pickup...
They charge €400
Rico Where? In Sweden you pay €15 for low priority calls, if you are a real emergency case €0....
Glyndwr Michael depends on the country, right?
Wow I am going to move to Sweden haha. In the Netherlands they charge you €400 no matter what the call was and I thought that they charged the same amount in Belgium and Luxemburg.
Rico :O
Wow, I thought it was the same basically, over the whole of Europe. What do you pay for a visit to the doctor?
What I learned: Better public transportation leads to less traffic in the cities leads to less obstacles for ambulances.
Also bei den Geschwindigkeiten sind beide gleich gut aber das der Krankenwagen aus Amerika den Autos ausweichen muss ist etwas Zeitverschwenung weil sie wohl noch nie was von der Rettungsgasse gehört haben so was kann Leben Retten
Red Skulls TV "sowas" Und Groß-Kleinschreibung falsch, und Kommas falsch.
"und Kommas falsch" - da braucht sich jemand glaube ich nicht beschweren ei diesem tollen, vollendeten Satzbau
War lediglich eine Korrektur, kein Satz, von daher passt das schon.
weißt was ich mir immer denke, bei Leuten die nach Fehlern suchen? >>>
Zum Mitnehmen oder hier Beschweren?
Red Skulls TV Aber selbst in Deutschland sind diese nicht so gut... hier sieht man auch schön das in deutschland VIELE nachdem der Rettungswagem durchgefahren ist sofort wieder zu machen.
Allerdings kann es wie beispielsweise auf der Autobahn dazu kommen das an dieser stelle mehrere Einsatzkräfte mit nur ner min Intervall passieren. Wenn die Gasse erhalten bliebe bis dicher ist das niemand mehr kommt könnten diese schneller fahren was erstrecht mehr leben retten kann... (Da ich es oft höre solle dies in Österreich besser funktionieren, kann dies aber nur durch fernsehen usw bestätigen und habs zum glück selbst noch nie erlebt)
I think the HUGE difference is, that you don't have to pay the ambulance in Germany when they pick you up for whatever emergency.
You don't have to pay. But the Health Insurance (don't know how to say "Krankenkasse" in English) but they don't want to pay. Its not good that people have to buy for their health or for their Live. In Both countries
EMS treatment and transport are covered by your health insurance, you'll have to pay only a tiny part of the bill: And what you pay for your health insurance in general is also for all kinds of different stuff
You have to WHAT?!
It’s not like u have to pay on the spot I hate American stereotypes as a person who has been on 6 ambulance rides in there life and has only had to less than $12 on each it really sucks on how uneducated other countries are
@@fdny_videos5544 Not everyone has good insurance or any insurance

hm, is it just in this video or is the main differene between Ger and US EMT`s
that german traffic jumps out of the way while US trafic does not seem to give a shit?
digger66a thats what you're supposed to do in germany.
year i know im german. so in USA you dont have to do it? or you dont have do to do it with certain ones im just surprised that us trafic seems to ignore the sirenes more or less
maybe Americans are more rebellious than the conformative Germans :)
In the US you have to stop or slow down and move aside. Many New Yorkers don't give a shit tho xD
digger66a if they really need someone out of the way they'll just push them.
German is better. Modern
German dual tone sirens are also much better locatable :)
DerAnus any source for argument? :)
Drifter12234 Thanks
usa sirens are fucking louder. ear rape
Drifter12234 US Ambulances are modern too, are you stable?
der taxifahrer bei 4:13 ist bestimmt besoffen wenn er kein platz macht und ohne licht fährt!
I'm sorry, but I was somewhat disappointed. It's just clips of ambulances driving. I was hoping for interior tours, analysis of equipment, and comparisons between the kit in each type of ambulance. Maybe interviews with EMS members in both countries. Oh, well.
well, there are a few problems you have to take into account:
It's just a video on an entertainment platform, not a documentary, not for TV, not for some fire and rescue magazines etc., so the range of information has to be limited, but where exactly is the limit? There are SO many different aspects, like
- power to weight ratio,
- interior space
- carbinet space
- mileage and fuel costs
- passenger safety features
- stopping distance
- turning radius and body roll
- moose test results
- range of the field of view from the driver's seat
- purchase costs, both in total numbers as well as in ratio to the
number of inhabitants in the specific place
- maintenance and repair costs
- equipment loaded
... to be continued,
Another thing I have answered just few hours ago during my own shift at our station: It's hard to get interior sights or even more when the only time being in the USA was during a business trip, and quite frankly: they had enough to worry about during that time
doesn't stop other people from making informative videos, heck, there are lawyers on youtube explaining laws etc for free
was that the only aspect I mentioned? Uhm ... no
MrJest2 the German are better there are driving hospitals
I enjoyed the video. Thanks for making the effort to put it together. I think the biggest issue is that the title is a little misleading. Perhaps people wouldn't dislike the video as much if it were called something more like, "American and German Ambulances responding". The current title leads one to believe that there is going to be some sort of analysis in the video itself. Besides that, there's nothing wrong with the video.
akward...all cars are stoppng in Germany while in the Us no one does! Wtf
I live in Germany and my friend did get outta the way from the ambulance! it is a rule in German to get outta the way from the police, ambulance and firefighters.
but not abruptly in every case, mostly if it's necessary! then we hit the brakes smooth :)
Generalize much? That was NYC and the traffic is so congested that they can't simply stop because it would box in the Ambulance. They have to keep moving then they can get around them at an intersection. In towns and cities where the traffic isn't as congested people pull over to the side of the road. We also pull over and yield for funerals.
Allen .Berge Lol you obviously haven't been to a congested german city then. We also make space even if that means driving up on the sidewalk/green.
In California everyone pulls to the side. When I visited Nevada and Arizona few people pull to the side. I found it strange.
Great idea, beautiful units (from both countries) and nicely put together! Awesome stuff :)
In Switzerland we can only use two tones sirens and air horns, that is the law (as in Germany?).
Sure I prefer the big US Ford ambulances with wail, yelp and Rumbler.
But no matter the look and the sirens, they save lifes.
Nice video by the way ;)

You're right :)
I don't understand your question, and Google can't translate it 😬

11:08 Da kommt die Ablösung :D
ive ridden in American ambulances and the suspension is incredibly stiff, like riding in a tank. the german ambulances haven't changed much since I was stationed over there in 1970. you put together a very nice video, it was nicely done
Nice to see that in 🇩🇪 the people move away so the ambulance can come through. In the video from 🇺🇸 the are so
Not paying attention most of what I have seen. Just a observation.
Lady Servicedog That could be explained due to the bad driving education in the us, as Ive heard your parents can educate you and you have to make a test when you ready. correct me if im wrong with that. In germany you have to go to drivingclass and do a hell lot of driving lessons where you learn how to open the street for ambilance and police
Lady Servicedog Most of those scenes are from NYC. You could drive an army of tanks through the streets and the people would still be like "Why should I move out of the way? I get to go to work too you know"
Lady Servicedog yes but this is in NEW YORK CITY! a big city i’m sure if you where in a different state they would of moved or let the ambulance in the front. most of the time people will not walk or run across the street while the ambulance passes as i’m from america i hardly ever see that happen
In Germany it's a law that you must move out of the way when firefigthers/police/ambulance is coming. But on German highways, it's a bit like in NYC. Sorry for the bad english
In soviet Russia , car don't move for you , you wait the car.
Ali Sherri I saw car's who let ambulance to go , In Rusia
In soviet russia, car drives you
So here we are thinking you are going to do something insightful like compare strengths and weaknesses but no you are just showing the vehicles responding. What a shame you missed a great opportunity.
shall I just copy and paste my previous answers?
EnjoyFirefighting - International Emergency Response Videos Change the title or add the data.
allright, then I'll copy and paste the answers you could have read yourself already as well:
Do you really think there's enough space either in the video or in the video description to list all the data concerning
- power to weight ratio,
- interior space
- carbinet space
- mileage and fuel costs
- passenger safety features
- stopping distance
- turning radius and body roll
- moose test results
- range of the field of view from the driver's seat
- purchase costs, both in total numbers as well as in ratio to the
number of inhabitants in the specific place
- maintenance and repair costs
- equipment loaded
... to be continued,
Aaaand no I won't change the title because of you
EnjoyFirefighting - International Emergency Response Videos Aww are you a bit butt hurt at being called out on your sensationalistic title and laziness? You don't have to go into what wiring delivery manufactures they use. During the video you could have added data, but no you click bait and go lazy.
lazyniess? No, Probably I chose the title for a reason? Well in fact, EVEN THAT was requested! And I know myself that factor once you work for an EMS provider which doesn't get uniform ambulances in great numbers ...
I have heard the European style siren on American ambulances before (Charlotte NC) I work right next to a major trauma center and it seems as though they will occasionally use the two tone siren at low speeds in heavy traffic, at high speeds they will use the more traditional American style siren. I personally think it's a good idea, the stark contrast in sound makes it much easier for people to pinpoint where the siren is coming from.
From a British point of view, I see german ambulances are 10x better. People actually pull over to the side, compared to in America (from the scenes shown) where they do basically nothing. And everyone in Germany gives room aswell, and efficiently!
InvertedPrism // Blackpool_dev as soon as i know its set by law in germany to let emergency services pass by.(also some of our tradic lights do change to red minutes before the emergency servicr passes by to have an clear intersection)
ii_Djsnake ROBLOX yeah same
InvertedPrism // Blackpool_dev I live in Michigan USA and here, if you don't pull off to the side and stop your vehicle, someone in another car will try to run you off the road... this place is full of road rage
InvertedPrism // Blackpool_dev It would be nice if thats correct. But in real we have many problems with stupid driver in germany too. Not in the City or on the country. But on the highways (called Autobahn) so many driver didn't make place for the police, firefighter or the rescue vehicles. Very often they didn't know how to make place with our system called " Rettungsgasse ".
8:50 I don't see this people stopping in your country!
Give both country equally!
You just judging NYC and in New York City is crowd and how will cars give them space then!
y i am watching tihs?!
i could ask myself the same question.

you can see wich country has more respekt from the ambulace!

They should add pushbars to push the civillian cars that don't go to the side of the road in an emergency its annoying. Like imagine if someone had their legs blown off and they were bleeding heavily and had minutes before they would die and there is like a Prius driving 15 KPH in front of an ambulance not wanting to pull over if I was the one bleeding out I would be unconcious, but if I seen the car in front of the ambulance I would be really mad that I'm about to die from a prius, and no legs.
gamertagcaleb km/h*
gamertagcaleb Thats why you have to drive to the side of the road and let the emergency servicr pass in germany as soon as you hear any sirenes behind you.
Felix K. Yeah but ignorant people don't give a crap about them they just want to go somewhere so put push bars on Ems vehicles.
German is better because "Versicherung"
nein
Jjjjjjjjjjj Warum nicht?
Naja eher wegen "Gesetzliche Versicherung" Versicherungen gibt es ja auch in Amerika.
okay du hast recht
A lot of American ambulances are privately owned.
I'm from Czech republic (Which borders with Germany) and the main difference towards US ambulances, that I can tell, they pay attention to speed limits, road signs and traffic too much .. In europe the ambulance is going 80 in a 50 zone, through red light into a one way street.. nobody gets hurt.. In US the ambulance is going 45 in a 50 zone, and has to drive around the block to get in there the right way .. I guess it is safer this way, but just doesn't have that feeling of urgency to it
alter, bei dem RTW bei ungefähr Minute 11 bekommt man richtig gänsehaut
Bei dem Horn. Da denkt man, dass gleich ein LF vorbei fährt :D
jo ich bin österreicher teilweise hört sich das an wie bei uns die feuerwehr :D also KLF LF TLF RLF etc. :D
While the rolling V8-Discos look pretty sweet, a general consent about moving the f over for Ambulances however, might make the German ones a lot faster. :(
because drivers in new york are ignorant and dont know how to get out of the way
Yeah, defo bad example to use NYC. The people in more rural areas are a hell of a lot better at moving over.
Matthew Cooper all americans arent the same . and we didnt inherit shit from the germans
Matthew Cooper unfortunately ?
when you click on a random video and see the ambulance company you work for is in it and its when they deployed to NYC for hurricane sandy and then you look closer and realize that American Transmed 3338 was the unit you worked in today. its like deja vu
It sure was a remarkable scenario, and I'm happy that some people find "their" companies they work for sooner or later :)
American ambulances looks fantastic for me, this big bumpers and chrome - I like it
german ambulances are mercedes
From a European persprective, the design of American ambulances seem somewhat outdated.
Sebastian Urbas if you mean im from Germany anderen i have to say american ambulances are nice.
COD Boss hahah right, watch it have to pull over to the side due to failure mid call
we ahrdly have any problems with our Mercedes ambulances. I guess there's a reason why 98% of all Emergency Ambulances here are based on it ... while Ford covers less than 1%
@3:09 mad props to the cyclist!
bei 11:48 min mit anhänger👍hab ich noch nie gesehen ihr ?
Vllt fahren die gerade zu einer MANV Lage
Weil es halt die SEG ist
I'm a German and I must say I REALLY like America and their ER-Services but sometimes in Germany you get a funny moment like the Audi at 8:55! Man shit this is the only German Ambulance Car with an American Sirene I've EVER heard in my life! This is not a Judgement but I like the German Ambulances more because I find they're very less disturbing than the American one's
I filmed that one several times and I also filmed some fire apparatus with wail sirens as well
KLang am Ende etwas wie Gemaunze "miaumiaumiaumiaumiau"
It's a Finnish siren
I don't pick sides when it comes to ambulances! but both types are cool
You want to be saved by a German one. :)
Das bilden einer Rettungsgasse ist bei uns gang und gebe.
Bobi beats denkst du... leider überhaubt nicht :(
Die ganzen Blinklichter und Getute bei den Amis machen mich ganz kirre ^^
Castor Neunundneunzig in Amerika ist die Show das Wichtigste.....
Smaller horizontal profile is always better for traffic.
All serve the same purpose but designed specifically for their respective environment. Fantastic engineering.
I was thinking more about the different sizes and overall design of the ambulance based on the locations they are used.
Menges what fascinates me is how both parties, independently from each other, seemed to have chosen for wheels as the contact between motorized carriage and the ground.
Wow DHL in Den USA
Was denkst du denn? UPS fährt doch auch in Deutschland rum xD
ausserdem wurde DHL in San Fran gegründet und an die Deutsche Post verkauft
DHL ist ein amerikanisches Unternehmen, das erst 2002 von der Deutschen Post aufgekauft wurde. Wäre also eher ungewöhnlich wenn DHL nicht in Amerika unterwegs wäre.
Das Beste ist ohnehin, dass DHL die Abkürzung der drei Gründernamen ist. Dalsey - Hillblom - Lynn
Und nicht für "Deutsche HandelsLieferung steht oder so etwas (haha)
Ich dachte, da wird auch richtig, mit Kommentar usw., auf die Unterschiede zwischen us-amerikanischen und deutschen Rettungswagen eingegangen und beschrieben? Innerlich und äußerlich und überhaupt? So ist das irgendwie - doof.
Thats germany ! 👍☺ greetings out Germany!🙋
*from
aber in sonem klapprigen alten truck will ich nicht abgeholt werden lieber von einem mercedes rtw^^
Lieber alt klapprig und vertrauenswürdig als Neu und Rostig ;)
xD ich weis nich, die amis mit ihren 300 ps krankenwagen
würde lieber ins krankenhaus robben
MoJo das glaub ich dir nicht.
Dario Janßen ich wäre glücklich das überhaupt hilfe da ist
Truly interesting and definitely will hit a lot of soft spots ;)
To be honest the road conditions and driving styles in both countries are very different, too different to make a fair comparison. It's interesting to see Germany has a greater variety of medical service providers though
Fire Phoenix Emergency Videos 火鳳凰特殊車輛影視 I don't know if that's true.
(I'm no expert but I'm German so I know some about that)
I think we only have the ASB (Arbeiter Samariter Bund), the DRK (Deutsches Rotes Kreuz (German Red Cross), the Johaniter and then just the regular ones from the fire departments.
Please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong
Itrolller1234 there are much more
and as far as i know fire departments dont have any ambulances. at least mine doesn't.
EnjoyFirefighting - International Emergency Response Videos oh i see.
Caldl1970 across Germany there are numerous private EMS providers which also run plain normal emergency services; Some of them are represented in the video as well
"Superior Ambulance"? "Prompt Ambulance" "Beth Israel" Who the fuck had the idea to name an ambulance like that? Do they do polytraumata or are they not profitable enough?
well, it took just a couple of minutes to find out some information:
- Superior: was named after the service level its founders intended to provide all patients
- Prompt: In October of 1998 the Miller family purchased a small ambulance service in East Chicago, and soon adopted the name PROMPT Medical Transportation, Inc., now doing business as PROMPT Ambulance Service
- (Mount Sinai) Beth Israel Hospital: Beth Israel is Hebrew for "House of Israel." Beth Israel was incorporated in 1890 by a group of 40 Orthodox Jews on the Lower East Side each of whom paid 25 cents to set up a hospital serving New York's Jewish immigrants, particularly newcomers
EnjoyFirefighting - International Emergency Response Videos
Thank you, interesting, but that was not what I meant. In Germany, the Ambulance is called "Rettungsdienst" - "Rescue service". It doesn't matter who provides the service (Red Cross, FD, privat provider), the service is always called Rescue service. To make the name "better" through a marketing name just seems absurd to me.
well, they have either "Ambulance" or "emergency service" on their ambulances, while in Germany you might have the term Rettungsdienst", "Rettungswagen" etc on it ... which is exactly the same. Superior etc are the company names, just like names of the EMS providers on German EMS vehicles as well
EnjoyFirefighting - International Emergency Response Videos
Don't you think that "Superior" is a pretty cocky name for a service?
I don't care about the name an EMS provider has. I currently work for a provider where they have their last name as company name, while others have some kind of abbreviations for some extremly long company names, like RKSH, RKT, KBH Medical Service and so on
Is it different, might is sound strange, yes, but in the end it's simply a company. There's also an EMS provider called "American Ambulance" in the USA, and I'm pretty sure: if we search for it, we find some even stranger, unusual EMS provider names
Awesome video's keep up the good work !!
You must have been in NYC just after hurricane sandy. Most of those ambulances were brought in from out of state to evacuate hospitals and nursing homes that had been flooded by the storm. They can be identified by the large green/yellow signs in the front and back windows.
I was there right before, during and some time after hurricane Sandy
German
No, they just have different styles
American streets are larger therefore they have larger ambulances since they can accommodate for it, which allows for more room to treat the patient in the way to the hospital.
European ambulances are smaller but therefore have more maneuvering room, however the lack of space inside them makes it harder for paramedics to move around with ease.
Kevin that's not quite correct. Looking at US Ambulances, many are for sure larger than European ones, but there are also many smaller ones as well. Just takea look at the Sprinter ambulances:in the USA you hardly find them with a box compartment at the rear but theplain normal Sprinter body, while many ambulances here have the large box on it.
EnjoyFirefighting - International Emergency Response Videos
the sprinter ambulances by me are manly used for transportation from hospital to hospital. I don’t know much about the ambulances outside of America so I can just assume that the sprinter ambulances with the box are regular ambulances.
@@EnjoyFirefighting True. Although ambulances, just like law enforcement and fire trucks here, seem to prefer local brands. That being said, outside of large city centers, I don't see any Mercedes ambulances, just like Japanese brand police cars almost only exist as patrol/traffic control vehicles in small regions within large city centers.
@@davidfreeman3083 not necessarily ... thus e.g. in Norway and Sweden you hardly find ambulances based on a Volvo, but primarily ones based on a German chassis.
I recorded several Sprinter ambulances from an EMS provider which serves an area somewhere outside of Chicago. Also the EMS provider "American Ambulance" sets onto the Sprinter instead of an american ambulance. Of course it's not as common as local manufacturers, however e.g. not every Dodge is a Dodge ... some European vans which were pretty much unsuccessful over here became surprisingly popular at American EMS providers just because it was sold as Dodge in the USA
Teilweise fahren die deutschen RTWs schneller, aber die US-EMS haben coolere Sirenen
***** Ja, die haben mehr Abwechslung ;)
Leon Bergmann die Deutschen sirenen können jemanden nach ner zeit lang richtig auf den sack gehen
+Bastian Kurwamueller ich denke, das ist der Hauptzweck, du sollst ja nicht davor parken. :D
Ruben Kelevra Ich denke, es würde niemand vor einem RTW/KTW parken...
Bastian Kurwamueller Aber sie sollen ja durch ihren nervigen Ton Aufmerksamkeit erzeugen, deswegen... Die USA benutzt da Yell und Rumbrl und Wail
Wie da einfach keiner nen fuck darauf gibt, dass jemand mit Alarm durch die Gegend fährt...
Nice video love how you got the ambulances in groups
I was expecting an actual in vehicle review and runthrough of a few common representatives of each and not just a video of many different ambulances driving by. This could be titled simply "American and German Ambulances"
11:30 its ambulance song!!
The American flash patterns always seem completely over the top.
nice video compilation, well done
So Ami Sirenen wären schon geil nur mir fehlt manchmal einfach so ein lauter Ton oder Hupe um die Kreuzung oder die Autobahn frei zu räumen. Das haben die Amis auch und manchmal spielen die schon richtig geil mit den unterschiedlichen Tönen.
paladin revolution das kannst du jetzt bestimmt auch begründen.
Ich kenne mich nicht aus, bin nur durch Zufall bei diesem Video gelandet. Aber zumindest scheint in den USA keiner drauf zu hören (keiner fährt zur Seite).
5thElem3nt Das ist aber eher ein soziales Defizit.
Wir sehen hier ein Video in dem fast alle Beiträge, oder sogar alle, aus dem US Amerikanischen Raum in New York aufgenommen wurde. Man kann daraus nicht schließen das es überall in den USA so ist. Und ich kann sagen, ist es auch nicht. Aber die New Yorker sind in diesem Punkt tatsächlich grauenvoll.
+ElPresidentedEscolar die Amisierenen sind relativ nutzlos weil man nicht hört wo genau der Rettungswagen ist, deswegen haben die da auch solche Probleme mit dem durchkommen.
7:42 what the-.. a bus?
sure ... wouldn't sy that it would be a standard unit, but it's not really rare either
@@EnjoyFirefightingi once SAW a German Hospital that Had a Bus parking Lot so mabye it was shared by a Hospital company and a bis company or it was the Same company and those we're rescue Busses
@@starlenjonathan there are no hospital and bus cooperation in Germany. They're always operated by the EMS provider
In Germany, ambulance sirens are LITERALLY music to your ears because of the way they sound.
Toller Vergleich! Von wann war das Video bei: 7:54? :D
Why had the US ambulances so many differemt noises? We only have two. 1 for city and the othe one for outercity.
Lottiderhengst Bee No, our german ems cars mostly have three siren: City sirens, countryside siren, and airhorn siren/airhorn siren simulation.
Ja aber das Lufthorn(Bullhorn) ist mehr als Hupe einzustufen ;)
Die Polizeiwagen haben das Wolfsgehäule noch dazu bekommen, wenn ein Polizei auto vor dir das anmacht sollst du ihm folgen oder so, das hatte eine bestimmte deutung
Lottiderhengst Bee Falls du mich meinst, mit airhorn meine ich Pressluft.
Und neue Polizeifahrzeuge haben auch noch Yelp als Anhalteton. :D
love the all blue!
The Sprinter (the one thing still left over from Daimler-Chrysler) seems to be the one platform same to both sides of the Atlantic. I think I even saw a Ram version hiding in one of the bays on the German side too.
Here in Sweden we have some Chevrolet-ambulances. Some counties tend to prefer them over Volvo, Mercedes, Volkswagen, Renault and other european brands. They are also the counties that uses box-type ambulances. (Altough the never box are built on VW Amarok)
In the Netherlands the Chevrolet GMT 610 ambulance was very frequently used, until the Sprinter took over his position. Nowadays I rarely see the Chevrolet ambulance driving.
I don't know why the Sprinter should has something to do with Daimler-Chrysler. Of course it's one platform. The Sprinter in Germany and those in the U.S. are both produced in Düsseldorf.
When it was first developed, it was a product of the merger of Chrysler and Diamler Benz. There were both Mercedes AND Ram versions of the same van.
In New Zealand we use the Sprinter, Hyundai Santa Fe, Toyota Land Cruiser, Land Rover Defender, Mitsubishi Triton and Fiat Ducato
German models in the US, no US models in Germany... I think we have a winner ;P
Ich liebe ja besonders die Diskussionen der Fachkräfte hier 😂 Immer wieder herrlich! Menschen wie euch braucht das Land! Wenn die Beleuchtung und die Lackierung wichtiger sind als die medizinische Austattung und die Fachkompetenz des Personals -> Hallo Ehrenamtler!
Bei einem Vergleich, wo ein Einblick in die Fahrzeuge nicht möglich ist und die Kompetenz der Einsatzkräfte nicht von Relevanz in Bezug auf das Thema stehen, bleibt praktisch nur die Reduzierung auf das Fahrzeug an sich ...
Aber ja stimmt schon, es tummeln sich dann immer ganz viele Super-Retter, ... die freiberuflich auch die besten Anwälte sind, jemanden bei der Polizei kennen und sowieso immer besser sind :D
I would hate to be a emt in cities like NY... my rig would become a bumper car, especially if I was going code with someone dying and some stupid taxi refused to get the fuck out of my way. One thing about the state I grew up everyone pulled over when an ambulance came down the road no matter what side they were on.. we cleared the road for them.
It's illegal in Germany not not make room.
po huing it is as well in the US.. just people here don't give a shit
awesome
Honestly though, the most common ambulance that you will see in America is the Ford f-350
Main difference... One is free, the other one cost you 3k usd
aggresive anusses incoming :D
Was Rettungdienst betrifft nehmen sich meiner Meinung nach bede Nationen nich viel. In dem Fall sind es ja wirklich nur andere Fahrgestelle und minimal abgeänderte Beladung. Trotzdem steh ich zu den deutschen Rettungswagen, is halt Gewöhnungssache.
Schöner Zusammenschntt, unterhielt mich gut!
DerAnus Was nein wie kommst du denn darauf?

Naja, was die Arbeitsweise angeht, gibt es schon deutliche Unterschiede.
Hey i know that place in the last video. That's Amazing.
grendo45 Glory to Arstotzka
Glory to Arstotzka!
Great stuff ;o)
genuine quesrion: why so many ambulances? Are they all looking to chase after the same patient?
TheSaintST1 No, multiple come in case of multiple injuries.
Why the fuck did I watch this video...
Because you've clicked on it
jirka merunka do you like it?
I would love to hear / read what americans think about our ambulances :D
Darth Merkel Nein du hier? xD
Darth Merkel seem alot more manuverable but i believe the sprinter has a much smaller engine that doesnt have the same ge up and go that our big american engines have
auf jedenfall ein Like für das Video!
Tja Deutschland ist halt besser 🇩🇪
DerAnus Doch
Oh!
nope
USMCLib3rty Fuck usa
Fuck Germanistan
The box on a flatbed construction of most US ambulances makes them deathtraps in accidents.
The concept is similar to school buses being bright yellow and not having seatbelts, the sirens and lights ensure that unless someone is completely braindead on the road, no one should hit an ambulance to create an accident.
I mean it's not like the person being transported usually can take an accident in even something that isn't a deathtrap.
gibt bei den ammis auch RTW und KTW weil die auch so verschieden große autos haben?
Jain, ein Freund von mir arbeiten beim FDNY - EMS. In der Regal fahren Notärzte aber auf den normalen RTW´s mit.
seit wann haben die Notärzte? :D :D
Beim FDNY fahren teilweise auch Ärzte mit auf den EMS
tatsächlich, als EMS Supervisor treten die ab und zu, jedoch in bislang extremst seltenen Fällen auf, aber ja ich habe mich soeben auch mal belesen, dass es wohl ein Trend ist, Ärzte präklinisch im Falle von schwersten Unfällen eingesetzt werden. Fahren dann jedoch in einem seperaten Einsatzfahrzeug an
Sowohl Ja als auch nein, Ärzte fahren "teilweise" mit den EMT´s mit, ist aber nicht der Regelfall und wie ich oben schon geschrieben habe, eher selten.
God damn it those are some good lookin ambulances.
How did I get to this video? :D
