@@TGGGlobalEmergencyResponses that's not a surprise to me. Sometimes it can take quite some time for information to be passed between different organizations and their dispatch centers; Just a week or two ago we had such a scenario when responding to a medical call at the airport: after a slow turnout and 10 minute run we arrived on scene, with a Heavy Rescue Truck already there - but the airport FD was informed about the same incident just a minute before we got there

Haha thanks!! You only see the success stories posted here 😅 Trust me, for every lucky catch there’s some bad luck as well… In Wroclaw, Poland, I was still about 50 meters away from the main fire station when the whole station responded…in the other direction… 🫠😆

In 2021 I had the opportunity to visit the Czech Republic twice. But only in transit. The first time on the route to Italy, the second time passing through to Austria.
@@TGGGlobalEmergencyResponses I was still in the Czech Republic in 2022 on loading to Germany. Although I didn't manage to record anything there, it was nice to enter the neighboring country with Poland.
Me too! In Czechia it's typically either cheap (Czech Holomy) or right (Whelen). Most Czech fire trucks have Holomy sirens but there are quite many with Whelen too. Most Czech EMS agencies use Whelen. Police is mostly Holomy but also Whelen. SoundOff was a mistake they did once and never repeated. There's also Federal Signal but they're disappearing in the Czech Republic. 10 - 15 years ago the PA300 and MS4000 were standard on many EMS vehicles and fire trucks. I have tons of videos from that time.
Oh good the smoke looked like a huge fire of some big but one think i doesn't understand. Why the smoke was moving! Please do more videos from Czech Republic.
It turned out not to be a fire after all, but a steam locomotive that was creating an excessive amount of smoke. There will be many more videos coming up! 👍🏼
Brilliant catch, I remember Prauge years ago when we stayed in Smichov. There was a Dennis Rapier we saw most days, also an IFA Water Bowser we saw in the old Andel bus station and an amazing crane truck we saw on horns on our final day. The firefighter driving the crane truck was smoking a rollup ciggie as was turning out. Lovely city
A super difficult fire to extinguish - located in a closed, hard iron objective and running away! A good video, an old locomotive never came to my mind.
absolutely some of the most beautiful emergency vehicles i've ever seen! it impresses me how much they use american style sirens, unlike the rest of european countries that would mostly use bitone sirens instead. i still love it :)
You've probably not seen the other trucks that Prague and the rest of Czechia has😄 They have a very cool variety of interesting old trucks as well as good looking new vehicles and very impressive trucks. In terms of sirens most of Europe mostly uses American/ wail/ yelp sirens except for just 6 countries where 2-tone sirens are mandatory.
@@Rummeltobi you are right! i'll have to lookup for more emergency vehicles content from various european countries, but i'm starting to remember in countries such as uk, hungary, poland, russia, and even ambulances in italy where they also use american style sirens in dual with a bitone siren too in some cases.
They definitely do. Personally I see Czechia as the most American country in Europe for numerous reasons. Although all those things like push bumpers, sirens, red lights, etc. were logic decisions. By the way: There's even one Czech Municipal Police that uses Dodge Chargers. 😁
@@TGGGlobalEmergencyResponsesyeah because the police were responding with the SoundOff Signal Siren and the Skoda wagon reminds me of the Ford Explorer here in America but the Skoda suv reminds me of a mini Ford Explorer but the only difference is the headlights are halogen on the Skoda and the Ford Explorer has standard LED headlights

@@TGGGlobalEmergencyResponses yes, I understand, but I'm glad that at least they will be outside, but the video is very good, I'm glad that there are still creators who film the exits of fire engines in Prague

Did they really forget to clean that locomotive’s firebox and cause all that trouble? 😭 always make sure to clean out your appliances that run on coal or wood. Nice shots overall! 🔥
Thank you! I am not sure, but I strongly assume that this is not the normal amount of smoke and that there was some sort of defect or error by the operator. Did not seem to be an emergency, however.
Looked like an oil fired steam loco with a fireman who, to be generous to them, perhaps thought it would please the photographers to make a lot of smoke.
@@diecicatorce6259 It started moving later on (after the fire department had already stood down), but initially it was not moving for about 10 minutes.
Yup! I’m kind of glad though because it means I got the response, but nobody’s house burned down and nobody was hurt or in danger… Win win situation! 😆

@@caezartuazon6 I don’t think anyone is blaming the callers here. It looked so real that even the firefighters and police did not realize until they saw the actual steam locomotive that was responsible! It’s good that people reproduce things when they think it’s an emergency. It’s always better to be safe than sorry.
Couldn't the emergency services make a cĺaim from the train operator for the cost of the false alarm? Pity there isn't such a thing as wasting fire service time like there is for wasting police time
I think that is a thing, but depends on the laws and regulations in each country. It may also be difficult to prove that there was a willfulness or negligence involved here, as I assume the excessive smoke was created accidentally. Luckily the fire trucks did not have to travel far and were only gone for about 10 minutes.
