"EA" on that armored truck at the beginning stands for "excalibur army", it's czech company that also makes lot vehicles for military and curently is working on modernization of circa 90 T72 tanks which will be send to Ukraine. I believe they work in cooperation with Tatra on some vehicles.
th-cam.com/video/bNMp4Bd-Qe4/w-d-xo.html It is TITAN (military TATRA FORCE) and TRITON (military TITUS = collaboration with French NEXTER). Both vehicles are a response to the attack on the ammunition warehouse in Vrbětice, the consequences of which the emergency services were removing for more than a year in a very dangerous environment
EA and Tatra fall uder the same holding (Czechoslovak group). I live in the town, where the EA factory is located and they have a Tatra banner at the entrance
1:27 This one is also Škoda. 1:50 Some of the new police vehicles (since 2019) have these bumpers. The police officers who use these vehicles were actually trained to perform the PIT maneuver by American police. 3:30 The light color also used to be only blue. Newer vehicles, manufactured since 2016, have this red and blue light. 4:08 Euro Truck Simulator is also a Czech game 🙂 5:50 Yes, it is a Fiat.
I especially like Czech beer. The only country that produces beer as good as ours. We were once given a 50l barrel of Staropramen "Grenade". Best beer ever but unfortunately not available here. We couldn't even get it from behind the Czech border. Must be very rare.
@@PropperNaughtyGeezer I have never heard of it, had to google it. It looks like that it can be ordered in bottles, in tin cans and in kegs as well. However, I don't remember seeing it in a shop.
RED-BLUE light - here in Poland we have it simple: BLUE-only signal is for all Police/Emergency/Fire/Military (single) vehicles, and BLUE-RED lights are for vehicles in column/convoy (for the first and last vehicle) - to inform other drivers that there are more cars coming - so in fact all specialized cars have both BLUE-BLUE and RED-BLUE lights installed and used depending on the situation
@@xyzaero Ouu yeah we are so proud of our gun law. You can own, carry and use guns almost as in US, but with less restriction on accesories and oweral bans - magazines, attack frongrips, tactical stocks.
@@palanides5081 Czech Republic, Austria, Slovenia, Switzerland and a few others in the area have better gun laws than many US states, but the rest of Europe is really really bad. I do not travel to Germany with my guns for example.
Not only that, what progress they made after communism fall is incredible. Czech Republic would be definitely one of the richest and most developed countries in Europe if they were not screwed by communist party in 70s and 80s, really sad times. Now it’s European country with great economy and european values, definitely one of the top countries in EU.
@@IWrocker Hi Ian... You should definitely come to explore Czech Republic a little bit more (even though through the YT:)! I think you mentioned in your other video (long long time ago) that you have some of your ancestors here:)
Americans think they are very proud of their country ... untill they see YT comment section about something where u can see anything from here, for at least one second :D
I am from Czech rep. too. It is fantastic, Americans are interested in our country and like Czech emergency vehicles! I am volunteer firefighter in a small town and we have two Tatra engines! My favourite ones are Tatra and Skoda! BTW, pretty cool are Czech search and rescue services and its helicopters! Fantastic are Czech mountain search and rescue services as well! Love and respect from CZ to USA! ❤❤
5:26 So these are what is called a "rendezvous" system. It's basically that you have seperate vehicles for the EMS specialists (the middle one) and for the doctors (with M.D degree; the small one). The way it works is, there are situations where only the ambulance is needed, like a broken leg and situations where you need a doctor, like mass traffic accidets. This way you can either dispatch only an ambulance or both of them (sometimes it can happen, that the M.D. can be dispatched from a different hospital - according to who and where is available atm.). Also, they are independent, so the specialists can get there and provide basic aid and when the doctor arrives, they then provide more sophisticated help/expertise. The biggest one is I believe for massive accidents, because it carries a lot of equipment, but no stretcher (while the middle one can carry a stretcher)
The firefighting special you're interested in is a Tatra Triton made in cooperation with Excalibur Army. It's a civilian version of the military special designed for interventions in extreme conditions and dangerous environments. It is armoured and airtight. And the colour combination of the lights blue - red has only been used in the Czech Republic since 2018. Until then, they were only blue. The sound of the sirens is not always the same, but can be varied while driving.
In Euro Truck Simulator 2 (Czech game) you can actually drive to the ŠKODA Factory and pick-up some cargo there. In the game it’s called Scout cars and is located about 50km northeast from Prague.
that big tyre crane says "sprava zeleznic" which roughly means "rail transport authority" so is probably a specialised vehicle for rail/trains related operations.
The crane is a stock all terrain crane from Liebherr, 30 or 40 tons max capacity. All they added were the emergency lights, siren and radios. All of these have these huge tyres, you can't use doubles on them because of all wheel steering, so you need to go bigger instead. Also it helps with driving in the mud on construction sites etc.
4:55 Those two with the yellow Z on the side are actually not our national fire service, but a fire service of the state company that owns most of the Czech railway network (Not Czech Railways, they are another state owned company that leases tracks from SZ (translated to Railway Management))
That armored truck at 2:08 (and its bigger cousin, 8x8 monster with 12 tons of water on board) was built for scenarios like ammo dump fire, industrial accident or massive forest fire. They used to have a tank for that (army surplus T-55 with huge water tank instead of turret and 2 remotely controlled nozzles), this should have similar performance but it's a lot easier on logistics.
Not only that, but the armored truck is built on the Tatra chassis, and is fairly new with the Czech "IZS". The Czech Police also have its counterpart for our Counter Terrorist Unit, ÚRN or URNA, which is called the T-KAT, which is completely made by Tatra, as far as I can remember.
@@Dartful_NeverGiveUp They do use VW Transporters, yeah, but they also DO have the T-KATs. Not to be "that guy", but I occasionally see them at work, and they're definitely used by URNA.
They have a push bumper because Czech police officers learned to pit maneuver in the US. Škoda is actually not a Czech car anymore, although it is produced in the Czech Republic, the design is of German origin and in 1996 Škoda was bought by the Volkswagen concern. On the state police cars and ambulance cars there is a light reflecting the sticker.
2:34 this is Excalibur Army Patriot II, main focus was for army but, Czech firefighters ordered it for fighting fire from close range, this vehicle was mainly used in our biggest forest fires in Hřensko. 2:52 this is Tatra Force or T815-7, again, main focus is for army but it is used as firefighting vehicle in Germany and Czech Republic.
5:00 fun fact; this car with big black wheels is not actually just some car, because it have a special modification. After pressing a button, a secret railway wheels will show up, and you can drive this car also on railway. Give attention to big letter "Ž", that means "správa železnic (pokud se nepletu)" > "railway administration"
Hi there, in the Czech Republic we used to use all blue lights but now it's changing to blue-red for the red's better visibility in daylight. That's why you can see vehicles with both kinds of lights... BTW here's one more armored Tatra fire truck... 😉 th-cam.com/video/hei1ZyCAqLk/w-d-xo.html
In Austria, Police, Ambulance, and Fire Fighters use only blue flashing lights while emergency driving. For the fire department i can claim, a red flashing light shows the leading command unit in place, and a green one shows the collecting place for the SCBA-bearers.
The first tiny car is Toyota Aygo ;) 5:03 if you like Skoda - the car going next to the parade in opposite direction is in fact electric Skoda Enyaq ;) 6:05 this Toyota is a city/town police, all police cars before are from state police 6:14 the cars after the parade are again Skoda cars - Fabia, Felicia and Octavia ;) I am glad you like it and impressed that you know Tatra :)
Fun fact: the first firefighters in Czechia date back to the 1850's, with the very first emergency group dating all the way back to 1821. State organized police in the modern sense dates back to 1754. And health emergency services date back to 1795, although it took several decades before a proper service was established.
Ahoj. Hi. Czech first responders (police, FD, ambulance) uses blue lights in the past. But from Oct 2018 there was change of law (rule) that they can use red and blue. The reason was that red is better visible in daytime then blue. and blue is very good for night time. So new vehicles after that would be equipped with red and blues. :)
As for emergency lights, we use to have only blue, but recently (like 1-2y back) red-blue combination was introduced to new wehicles because one of the colors is better visible in daylight and the other during night. Today, some of older vehicles still has only blue lights. The armored fire vehicle is Excalibur Army special called Triton, 18tons max weight, balistic level II protection. It has 2.000 litres water jet operated from inside the cab. It is used for firefighting in areas with danger of explosions.
About that Czech Republic vs. Czechia thing. On 14 April 2016 the government agreed to make Czechia the official short name. So both terms are right. It's the same thing as Russian Federation vs. Russia. I personally think that the term Czechia kind off caught on in last 2 years. For example we use it as our name in our international hockey games which is of course always important event for us. Great vid btw, cheers from South Bohemia.
@Petr Moravan Vyoral You guys in Moravia get offended to often :P Anyway, living in the Bohemia part and would never use Cesko or Czechia. Sounds stupid :)
Something about emergency. In Czechia there are a lot of vehicles from diferent manufacturers. You can often see a Volskwagen crafter or Mercedes sprinter, also we use other VWs models like transporter...these are all vans. We also have normal cars. Mostly Škoda car's...models like Kodiaq, octavia or yeti. In Prague we also have an emergency truck, his call sign is ,,Golem" (I think, this one is a Mercedes as well). Every ground vehicle is colored by this reflective yellow color with same looking livery, and emergency cars uses red and blue lights. We also have some helicopters.
2:10 this car is a ballistic vehicle that is used, for example, in places where there may be ammunition, but also in places where a dangerous substance leaks, otherwise it is funny to watch a person from a foreign country react to our IZS👍🏼😅
Only blue lights were allowed until 2018 in Czechia, since then also red can be used, but only in combination with blue. As almost all lights since approx. 2016 are multicolor, they just switched one half to red.
The reason some vehicles have RED-BLUE lights and some have only BLUE-BLUE is beacause there was a law that dictated the use of only blue emergency lights, but it was changed quite recently (2018 or 2019 I think). Therefore some "older" vehicles have only blue lights. Also that truck at 2:15 is a CZS-15 Triton (short fo cisternová zodolněná stříkačka) made by Excalibour Army in cooperation with Tatra Trucks and THT polička. Its used mainly for operations in extreme and dangerous environment. This vehicle also has a cool big bro called CZS-40 Titan and CV-40 (th-cam.com/video/tvNMGSLlYlY/w-d-xo.html )
We were using only blue lights in Czech Republic, but sientists found out, that in heavy fog you can see red light much more better (sooner) so we use now both lights.
1:15 Toyota Aygo 2:05 Truck build for the czech military (mostly Tatra running gear) 3:04 some polaris buggy (those fly on trails and small mountain roads) 4:13 Euro Truck has emergency vehicles; you will see accidents ecc.. and some times you will have to deviate cause the road might be closed. If you buy the special transport dlc you will be escorted by ''pilot'' cars; with mods u can drive basicly anything. 5:42 Fiat Ducato
CZS - 15 Triton at time 2:05 is not built for the army of the Czech Republic, but for the rescue unit of the Fire and Rescue Service and is used for demanding fires in which there is primarily a risk of explosion. Both Triton and Titan (CZS - 40) intervened, for example, during a fire in the Czech Switzerland National Park CZS - tank-mounted syringe, the number indicates the power of the pump. CZS - 15 Triton v čase 2:05 není stavěn pro AČR, ale pro ZÚ HZS ČR a slouží k náročným požárům, u kterých hrozí především výbuch. Triton i Titan (CZS - 40) zasahovali například při požáru v Národním parku České Švýcarsko CZS - cisternová zodolněná stříkačka, číslo udává výkon čerpadla.
In the Czech Republic, we also have fairly well-managed access to weapons, and obtaining a firearms license is well managed. I don't have a gun and I don't feel threatened when I walk down the street at night.
Hello! Thank you for the wonderful video and I'm delighted to see you like our emergency response vehicles! To explain a few things you were confused about... The liveries on our Police cars used to be White with a Green Stripe since as far as I can recall, actually. I believe since the separation of Czechoslovakia in 1993. During the start of the 21st century, we have transitioned from those white and green, into the liveries you see here, silver with blue and neon yellow! With that, we used to use all-blue Emergency Lights, for all three of the emergency responses. However, with modernization, we have moved on to use red-blue lights for the Police, and the blues are slowly being phased out in favor of the red-blues. This happened during the latter half of the 2010's, if I recall correctly. Another thing is about the medical liveries. Czech Republic is separated into 14 parts called "kraje". Sort of "Counties" if you will. And in every single county, the insignia of the local branch of the Police Department, the insignia of the local branch of Fire Department, and the livery of the local Emergency Medical Service, all change depending with the coat of arms and flag of the "County", for example, from the texts on the EMS vehicles, you can see that this is the Central Bohemian kraj, and with the last vehicle, you can see "Kolín" which is the name of the city they're having the parade in. Liveries and insignia in Prague, or other kraje, Moravian, Silesian, Southern Bohemian, etc. will be different, and easily, you can distinguish them! For example, Prague heavily centers around Red and Yellow, as those are the colors on the flag of the city of Prague. :) Finally, the last vehicle, full white with livery, that is not the Czech Police as a whole, like the State Police, but only the localized, Obecní Policie Kolín, Municipal or Metropolitan Police, basically. A lot of cities and towns have "Městská Policie" or "Obecní Policie", which unlike the Czech Police, is not under the Ministry of Interior, but under the local city magistrate or town hall. They do not have the same rights and privileges as the State police do, and their jurisdiction covers only the limits of their city or town. Hope I was able to expand your horizons on what all of the liveries, Police forces, and emergency lights mean! And don't be afraid to contact me for further information or even possibly, if you'd be so inclined, collaboration in your videos, where I can explain the things you see live, if you're ever inclined to react to Czech emergency response again! :)¨ Have a swell day, and if you read this far down, you're a star.
The Tatra fire truck would also be my favourite 😉 The sirens have interchangeable modes, the faster ones are probably used when more attention is needed. Also I believe that when the vehicles brake harder, it goes into a very fast annoying siren sound, probably automatically, to alert the drivers further. Another interesting thing is the rendez-vous (RV) system for ambulances - in more severe cases when an actual doctor is needed, not only the paramedics, a separate passanger vehicle is sent with a driver and the doctor. That is usually something like Škoda Octavia combi, Yeti (seen here), Kodiaq, or even the electric VW ID.4, with a lot of equipment in the trunk and on back seats. The RV meets the ambulance on the site. That vehicle can also be rerouted to more critical place if needed. On the way back, the RV can help the ambulance in serious emergency situations, by accelerating ahead, stopping traffic at an interseciton to let the ambulance drive through smoothly, then accelerate ahead it again and repeat. Really efficient.
As of today, the Fire Rescue Department has two new special vehicles. In Hlucín, firefighters have taken over the largest tanker in the Czech Republic with a volume of 21,000 liters and also a durable syringe labeled CZS 15. The firefighters call it Triton and will use it during attacks in extreme conditions. The car is equipped to handle fires in forests or factories where explosions are at risk. Rescue unit began to seek it, among other things, after its experience
Most of Australia's fire engines are Scanias - and Isuzu's for rural fire service. Canberra's are light green. Scania does have comprehensive headquarters here for the trucks and buses, maintenance and repairs and I think modifications. The semi high speed train that runs along the entire QLD coast, from the capital Brisbane to Cairns is a SAAB - Scania ( SAAB do make aircraft - used extensively in Australia - REX airlines.) The train is a tilt train, so it tilts into corners to remain stable, when the tracks cannot support very fast trains.

5:00 Crane is owned by firefighters of railway instructure owner and operator - and yellow sign is letter Ž standing for železnice.
As many people already said EA stands for Excalibur Army, what probably no one said is that Patriot(Army)/Triton(Firefighters)/Rioter(police) use not only TATRA suspension/chassis system, but also theire unique aircooled turbodiesel V8 ;-) and regarding beacon light color red and blue is pretty new (no more then 5 years) and mostly on police cars and couple Ambulance cars (mostly new cars), big fire trucks are still with just blue (as it was for all emergency vehicles), back than you can also tell if the car who is aproching is Fire/Ambu/POPOmobile just by the sound of siren because there were different And I forget that that little (smallest :-) ) Toyota is also made in Czech Republic
4:50 The crane carrying truck there is actually not just a emergency vehicle, it is specificly owned by the firefighters under control of accidents on the railroads. They are used not just there but you can notice it by the Z like shape on the side of it which is the sign of czech Railway Managment.
Hi from Czech Republic :) The lights used to be blue-blue, but after 2018 it is possible to use blue-red. Each color has its advantages and disadvantages. But the combination of red and blue covers a much wider light spectrum and is more practical. Red color is more visible in fog, snow, heavy rain, etc...
2:35 That armoured fire truck is mostly used on like chemical leaks or potentionaly dangerous fire areas where for example poisionous gas leaks can be used if theres a radiation leak too.
My dad used to work on Tatra trucks before we emigrated to the states. I love seeing how excited you get about these vehicles, like a little kid (no offense meant at all, it's endearing). I landed on your channel after watching your UK video (living in England now). This would not normally be my thing, but anything UK or Czech holds my interest, haha.
Thanks for sharing, I’m excited to learn some things about Czech people and culture, (and UK too) Glad you noticed my enthusiasm 😎🎉🤣 I do get excited watching these, it’s a nice break from the crazy world and news that’s always on these days
@@IWrocker Czechs are good in playing of Ice hockey as well. Ex-player of Buffalo Sabres in 1995-2003 named VACLAV VARADA is comming from our little town Koprivnice, where trucks Tatra are made, and as a child he started to play for Ice hokey team Tatra Koprivnice. Latest he was successfully working as a Ice Hockey national coach of U20. As a head coach of Ice Hockey Extra League (Prime National League) team Ocelari Trinec he won the Winning title. ;-) Regards to your family. GOD BLESS YOU. :-)
The Czech Republic uses both blue and red beacons, and Euro truck simulator and American truck simulator from SCS Software are also from the Czech Republic.
3:37 we used to have only blues as well, but red is more visible in fog so they change it few years ago. And you can later see that some firetrucks has only blue.. (older)
it reminds me some game with firefighters I played in like 2004, it was very cool game, I think it was called literally Fire Department, but I am not sure, name was translated to Czech, you had to move with those cars to put them more close to your foot firefighters to make water refilling faster and when fire was blocking your way, you ran out of water fast, it was a cool game
Thanks for a vid, this is actually from my nearest town(Kolín - central Bohemia region) ..this event is traditionaly held every year at spring for yeears( 15 years+ for sure) - it is called "A day of the emergency rescuers" and they bring all those vehicles on the town square so people and especially children can look inside them and see how they work.. there is usually police, firefighters and ambulance and the military actually participate too but they got their own space outside of the town.
Fun fact: The fireman siren on the cars is so loud that if you're in a tunel and the siren is going off, you almost won't hear anything else than the siren, maybe even a gunshot is more silent.
The history of the Tatra company dates back to 1850 and is one of the oldest truck manufacturers in the world. The company has made many significant developments and innovations in the field of vehicle production, especially in the field of trucks. Tatra trucks are renowned for their reliability, durability and excellent performance on difficult terrain.
Hi, I am an volunteer firefighter from Czech Republic. All of our emergency vehicles used to have blue light's. Now we are slowly changing it to red and blue. We have some more interesting stuff, for example we have a semi truck from Mercedes Benz and the trailer is like a big hospital in small trailer. You can unfold it and get medical treatment for a lot of people at once. Just to let you know, the police cars in front of the convoy are state police and the last car ( the white one with Městská policie written on it) are like a City police. As you saw the medical cars, the small Škoda in front of them is a car where the doctor is driven to the pacient. They come few minutes faster than the ambulance to provide instant treatment.
Já se nemůžu nejak dostat přes ten fakt že drtivá většina výjezdů pro Americké hasiče je to kam u nás jezdí sanitky. Někde jsem to viděl. Prostě na případy jako úrazy, kolaps. Jezdí v Americe hasičské auto plný vody a je tak dvakrát větší než evropský cisterny.
@@jabanan Je to divný no. Ale vlastně to trochu má smysl. Zbrojnice mají spojené hasiči a emt ( zdravotníci). To je pravděpodobně pozůstatek z minulosti kdy když lidi nevěděli kam jít s někým zraněným, tak došli k hasičům. Protože to určitě jsou chytrý a zkušený lidi. Ty nám pomůžou. No a někde cestou se to transformovalo na to co je dnes. Zbrojnice mají společné a když není sanitka nebo pokud je to něco obtížného, tak jedou hasiči. V Česku prostě přijede sanitka a pokud má problémy zavolá si na centrálu a nechá si poslat nejbližší jednotku hasičů.
I am really happy you posting this videos about Czechia! Because i really enjoy this videos about Czechia. I living here and actually this state is beatiful! But Škoda Cars is from 1991 year is part of Volkswagen Group but Škoda is still most big firm in Czechia! Love your content! 2:20 Fact about the "armored" vehicle. This vehicles is firefighter and serves on inaccessible locations for example: Woods, muddy roads, wet dirty roads and so on! And i like 2 this Vehicle.
The armored vehicle, if I remember correctly, is for when there is a flood as it's pretty high so that water won't leak in (ofc it's also sealed) and if there was something heavy the water is carrying and hit the vehicle, the crew would be safe.
Germany and Austria have blue lights because it gets diffused the best at longer distances. It was adopted in 1933 for the police and fire service (which was part of the police back then) so the bombers in WWII wouldn't be able to spot it well.
Yeah we kinda wanna have our vehicles well visible even during fog or blizzard, so that other drivers see them and do not kill our policemen and firefighters.
We had only blue too in the past, but they changed it few years ago, I think new lights were from american company back in the day because it won some competition for new lights or something, so they decided to change a law and allowed blu-red combination, also, they say it has better visibility and they like this change, so all new cars will have blue-red lights in the future, if they don't change it again, but I think it looks cool, our cars now look more unique in Europe, especially those with installed extra ramming bumbers.
Police indeed had all blue lights here in the CZE, however they changed it to red and blue as they said the red lights has a longer wavelength and is seen further away and in bad weather... And also like that most if not all Skoda Combis have steel front bumper to avoid damages but also to be able to conduct car to car manoeuvres (during chases, etc...) And the tiny Toyota looks like a Toyota Aygo .. Its smaller than the Yaris and manufacture in the Toyota/Peugeot/Citroen plant in Kolín here
in CZ all emergency responders had alwas just blue lights, but recently (just few years ago) it has been slowly changing to blue and red. So older cars have blue, newer cars have red/blue.
Czech Tatra still produces other firefighting specials such as the Tatra 815/7 or the armoured Tatra Titan. Here is also a short video: th-cam.com/video/AhasDbCfaoM/w-d-xo.html
Fun fact. Vehicle you seen at 5:00 (one with the crane) belongs to czech reilway. Yes our railway company got its own fire brigade. These guys got even their own tank.
The Czech Parlament updated law about beacons kinda recently, that's why someone got just blue lights. They wasn't allowed to use red lights for this purpose before. Btw. It's like mixed fleet of vehicles from all Czechia regions not like one region or even town.
Until recently Czechia had only blue lights as well, they passed a law that allows red sirens as well, at this moment emergency vehicles can use either only blue or blue with red, red only is still not allowed
Apart from that truck from Excalibur Army, there are fire-brigade Tatras with armored cabs, I think it's Force line, very cool looking. And I believe there are few fire tanks for very special tasks as well. As for games, I'm not an expert,but AFAIK you can drive a lot of stuff including cool trucks in Farm Simulator.
Tatra is awesome and very old car brand 1850-1890 depending , i have one what i bought very long time ago 603 and 613 :) and military vehicles are legendary same as paris dakar :) i think in 1987 they make model who drove around world
I believe that armored vehicle is used for firefighting in former ordnance attempted areas. In East Germany, such vehicles are used in forest fires, in areas where munitions from World War II are still lying in the ground. Have a good day. =D
Greetings from Czech Republic! I just want tell you fact, every beacons was blue until 2019 or 2020, then because of European Union, every new car after that year MUST have red/blue. Because they are better visible in fog or on greater lenght. But study shows the diffrence of distance are around 150 m. IMO it wasted money. Since last year I moved to Slovakia Republic, where are only blue beacons but there are also private companies providing emergency and every company has different ambulances
👍 Little lesson how to pronouce Škoda auto brand: That "Š" at begining of the word try to pronounce as a "sh" in word "share", "shake". At the and it will sound like saying [shkoda]. Good videos. TH-cam algorithm works in mysterious ways, that you were suggested to me in Czechia. As I'm saying, "It's good, but always can be improved."
Hello. I'm from the Czech Republic and it's so nice to look at how American reacts to our videos/cars. In the Czech Republic (mainly in Brno (city) is lots of firetrucks brand Scania. I love it. And yeah Škoda/Skoda I think is the most popular brand of car. Btw our police cars have a lot of styles of sirens. I play ets2 too and it's a really good game actually, it was created in the Czech Republic :D
Older cars have blue only sirens because it was only legal option but they changed the law few years ago and now new vehicles have red/blue combination for better visibility during day-time. (You cant see blue siren well when sun is too bright)
I was hoping for more ambulances to appear, especially the special ones Prague department has in use. I like the EMS module Golem, but it's hard to find any video of it.
That armored vehicle is Tatra Triton. It's used to fires where is an explosion risk. For example factories, warehouses, garbage dumps etc. It's used in forest fires too. EA means Excalibur Army which is company that made this modification of Tatra.
In Czech Republic we had only blue emergency lights a few years ago. In 2018, red and blue were implemented for better visibility. That's why in the video some vehicles have only blue lights.

It is TITAN (military TATRA FORCE) and TRITON (military TITUS = collaboration with French NEXTER). Both vehicles are a response to the attack on the ammunition warehouse in Vrbětice, the consequences of which the emergency services were removing for more than a year in a very dangerous environment
yes this truck heave chasis from Tatra 815-7
EA and Tatra fall uder the same holding (Czechoslovak group). I live in the town, where the EA factory is located and they have a Tatra banner at the entrance
I thought it's EA games and car can't run without their bugged launcher 😀

Fun fact: Euro Truck Simulator 2 is made by Czech developer studio SCS based in Prague
1:27 This one is also Škoda.
1:50 Some of the new police vehicles (since 2019) have these bumpers. The police officers who use these vehicles were actually trained to perform the PIT maneuver by American police.
3:30 The light color also used to be only blue. Newer vehicles, manufactured since 2016, have this red and blue light.
4:08 Euro Truck Simulator is also a Czech game 🙂
5:50 Yes, it is a Fiat.
By the way, if you are also interested in agricultural vehicles, check the Zetor company, a Czech tractor manufacturer. 🙂
I especially like Czech beer. The only country that produces beer as good as ours.
We were once given a 50l barrel of Staropramen "Grenade". Best beer ever but unfortunately not available here. We couldn't even get it from behind the Czech border. Must be very rare.

RED-BLUE light - here in Poland we have it simple: BLUE-only signal is for all Police/Emergency/Fire/Military (single) vehicles, and BLUE-RED lights are for vehicles in column/convoy (for the first and last vehicle) - to inform other drivers that there are more cars coming - so in fact all specialized cars have both BLUE-BLUE and RED-BLUE lights installed and used depending on the situation
If you're ever in Europe or in Southeast Germany you have to visit Czechia. Such a beautiful country and very friendly people.
Definitely, one of my favorite countries in Europe
East or West Czech is the best😁
And the only European Country with a “second amendment” 🤩
@@xyzaero Ouu yeah we are so proud of our gun law. You can own, carry and use guns almost as in US, but with less restriction on accesories and oweral bans - magazines, attack frongrips, tactical stocks.
@@palanides5081 Czech Republic, Austria, Slovenia, Switzerland and a few others in the area have better gun laws than many US states, but the rest of Europe is really really bad.
I do not travel to Germany with my guns for example.
The vehicle with the EA logo is a CZS 15 TRITON. EA stands for Excalibur Army, which is the company that makes the vehicle.
Czechia is certainly a country that has made an incredible progress in upgrading its emergency vehicles
Not only that, what progress they made after communism fall is incredible. Czech Republic would be definitely one of the richest and most developed countries in Europe if they were not screwed by communist party in 70s and 80s, really sad times. Now it’s European country with great economy and european values, definitely one of the top countries in EU.
You are correct about our economy it isn’t the best but it could be worse
Greetings from Czech Republic! Thanks for checking my video, hope you enjoyed our emergency vehicles :)
Thank You 🎉😎 I did enjoy it very much! Looks like a beautiful place too
@@IWrocker Hi Ian... You should definitely come to explore Czech Republic a little bit more (even though through the YT:)! I think you mentioned in your other video (long long time ago) that you have some of your ancestors here:)

Yeah same :D When i saw it in my recomendations, i couldnt resist to watch it
I am from Czech rep. too. It is fantastic, Americans are interested in our country and like Czech emergency vehicles! I am volunteer firefighter in a small town and we have two Tatra engines! My favourite ones are Tatra and Skoda! BTW, pretty cool are Czech search and rescue services and its helicopters! Fantastic are Czech mountain search and rescue services as well! Love and respect from CZ to USA! ❤❤
5:26 So these are what is called a "rendezvous" system. It's basically that you have seperate vehicles for the EMS specialists (the middle one) and for the doctors (with M.D degree; the small one).
The way it works is, there are situations where only the ambulance is needed, like a broken leg and situations where you need a doctor, like mass traffic accidets.
This way you can either dispatch only an ambulance or both of them (sometimes it can happen, that the M.D. can be dispatched from a different hospital - according to who and where is available atm.). Also, they are independent, so the specialists can get there and provide basic aid and when the doctor arrives, they then provide more sophisticated help/expertise.
The biggest one is I believe for massive accidents, because it carries a lot of equipment, but no stretcher (while the middle one can carry a stretcher)
Lived in CZ for 5 years. Great people and country! Loved every minute of it. Get onto motogp please and keep up the good work!
Thank you for kind words hopefully you come back any time soon
The firefighting special you're interested in is a Tatra Triton made in cooperation with Excalibur Army. It's a civilian version of the military special designed for interventions in extreme conditions and dangerous environments. It is armoured and airtight. And the colour combination of the lights blue - red has only been used in the Czech Republic since 2018. Until then, they were only blue. The sound of the sirens is not always the same, but can be varied while driving.
In Euro Truck Simulator 2 (Czech game) you can actually drive to the ŠKODA Factory and pick-up some cargo there. In the game it’s called Scout cars and is located about 50km northeast from Prague.
that big tyre crane says "sprava zeleznic" which roughly means "rail transport authority" so is probably a specialised vehicle for rail/trains related operations.
And the huge tires are needed to support the weight of the heavy lifting crane.
@@CZpersi I bet it is to cross rails. You can see bigger cranes on smaller wheels.
The crane is a stock all terrain crane from Liebherr, 30 or 40 tons max capacity. All they added were the emergency lights, siren and radios.
All of these have these huge tyres, you can't use doubles on them because of all wheel steering, so you need to go bigger instead. Also it helps with driving in the mud on construction sites etc.
In Czechia we have Rail firefighters too... It is as separate branch of fire fighters...
I'm just as impressed at how clean the place is.
What do you mean "impressed at how clean the place is"? It's EU ofcours it's clean and safe. We pay a lot of taxes to keep it that way. ;)
It is not everywhere.
Hello, I live in the Czech Republic and I am very happy that someone from the USA is interested in us and our IZS component
IZS? Tomu nebude rozumet ani prekladac a ne tak cizinec.
Visit Czech Republic and especially Kopřivnice town - it's the home of Tatra company and there is also absolutely fabulous Tatra museum.
And before you go back, visit Tram museum and technical museum, both in Prague. Industrial revolution captured.
There are two museums in Koprivnice 😁, one for cars, second for trucks... Both absolutly great...
@@petrmarek3356 proč si tu pišete anglicky , všichni češi.. lol
4:55 Those two with the yellow Z on the side are actually not our national fire service, but a fire service of the state company that owns most of the Czech railway network (Not Czech Railways, they are another state owned company that leases tracks from SZ (translated to Railway Management))
That armored truck at 2:08 (and its bigger cousin, 8x8 monster with 12 tons of water on board) was built for scenarios like ammo dump fire, industrial accident or massive forest fire. They used to have a tank for that (army surplus T-55 with huge water tank instead of turret and 2 remotely controlled nozzles), this should have similar performance but it's a lot easier on logistics.
Not only that, but the armored truck is built on the Tatra chassis, and is fairly new with the Czech "IZS". The Czech Police also have its counterpart for our Counter Terrorist Unit, ÚRN or URNA, which is called the T-KAT, which is completely made by Tatra, as far as I can remember.
I think it build by Excalibur Army, also czech manufacturer.
Good 👍🏼
@@johnnysteele5934 *601.skss Urna used normal VW vans...
@@Dartful_NeverGiveUp They do use VW Transporters, yeah, but they also DO have the T-KATs. Not to be "that guy", but I occasionally see them at work, and they're definitely used by URNA.
They have a push bumper because Czech police officers learned to pit maneuver in the US. Škoda is actually not a Czech car anymore, although it is produced in the Czech Republic, the design is of German origin and in 1996 Škoda was bought by the Volkswagen concern. On the state police cars and ambulance cars there is a light reflecting the sticker.
2:34 this is Excalibur Army Patriot II, main focus was for army but, Czech firefighters ordered it for fighting fire from close range, this vehicle was mainly used in our biggest forest fires in Hřensko.
2:52 this is Tatra Force or T815-7, again, main focus is for army but it is used as firefighting vehicle in Germany and Czech Republic.
5:00 fun fact; this car with big black wheels is not actually just some car, because it have a special modification. After pressing a button, a secret railway wheels will show up, and you can drive this car also on railway. Give attention to big letter "Ž", that means "správa železnic (pokud se nepletu)" > "railway administration"
Hi there, in the Czech Republic we used to use all blue lights but now it's changing to blue-red for the red's better visibility in daylight. That's why you can see vehicles with both kinds of lights...
BTW here's one more armored Tatra fire truck... 😉
th-cam.com/video/hei1ZyCAqLk/w-d-xo.html
Tak zrovna ta červeno modrá není kvůli dennímu světlu, ale kvůli sníženým podmínkám vidění :D mlha atp... :D
In Austria, Police, Ambulance, and Fire Fighters use only blue flashing lights while emergency driving. For the fire department i can claim, a red flashing light shows the leading command unit in place, and a green one shows the collecting place for the SCBA-bearers.
Thank you for the praise of our Czech rescues and greetings from the Czech Republic
5:50 thats our biggest ambulance i think it can get there like 8-10 patients used only if some huge tragedy happens i think its called Felix,Fenix
The first tiny car is Toyota Aygo ;)
5:03 if you like Skoda - the car going next to the parade in opposite direction is in fact electric Skoda Enyaq ;)
6:05 this Toyota is a city/town police, all police cars before are from state police
6:14 the cars after the parade are again Skoda cars - Fabia, Felicia and Octavia ;)
I am glad you like it and impressed that you know Tatra :)
Fun fact: the first firefighters in Czechia date back to the 1850's, with the very first emergency group dating all the way back to 1821. State organized police in the modern sense dates back to 1754. And health emergency services date back to 1795, although it took several decades before a proper service was established.
Ahoj. Hi. Czech first responders (police, FD, ambulance) uses blue lights in the past. But from Oct 2018 there was change of law (rule) that they can use red and blue. The reason was that red is better visible in daytime then blue. and blue is very good for night time. So new vehicles after that would be equipped with red and blues. :)
The EA logo belongs to Excalibur Army, a company that manufactures army vehicles and tanks. It is based in Šternberk in the Czech Republic!
As for emergency lights, we use to have only blue, but recently (like 1-2y back) red-blue combination was introduced to new wehicles because one of the colors is better visible in daylight and the other during night. Today, some of older vehicles still has only blue lights.
The armored fire vehicle is Excalibur Army special called Triton, 18tons max weight, balistic level II protection. It has 2.000 litres water jet operated from inside the cab. It is used for firefighting in areas with danger of explosions.
2:09 - Excalibur Army - Triton its freakin monster firetruck, you can find some ytb videos of this truck as well
About that Czech Republic vs. Czechia thing. On 14 April 2016 the government agreed to make Czechia the official short name. So both terms are right. It's the same thing as Russian Federation vs. Russia. I personally think that the term Czechia kind off caught on in last 2 years. For example we use it as our name in our international hockey games which is of course always important event for us. Great vid btw, cheers from South Bohemia.
Thank you for some context on that, I’ve heard both and simply didn’t know which was better to use in conversation.
Glad you enjoyed 🎉 more to come 😎
@Petr Moravan Vyoral You guys in Moravia get offended to often :P Anyway, living in the Bohemia part and would never use Cesko or Czechia. Sounds stupid :)
@Petr Moravan Vyoral Man, what are you smoking? 😂
Something about emergency. In Czechia there are a lot of vehicles from diferent manufacturers. You can often see a Volskwagen crafter or Mercedes sprinter, also we use other VWs models like transporter...these are all vans. We also have normal cars. Mostly Škoda car's...models like Kodiaq, octavia or yeti. In Prague we also have an emergency truck, his call sign is ,,Golem" (I think, this one is a Mercedes as well). Every ground vehicle is colored by this reflective yellow color with same looking livery, and emergency cars uses red and blue lights. We also have some helicopters.
Like two years ago, emeregncy vehicles in Czechia had only blue lights, but now they have red and blue
2:10 this car is a ballistic vehicle that is used, for example, in places where there may be ammunition, but also in places where a dangerous substance leaks, otherwise it is funny to watch a person from a foreign country react to our IZS👍🏼😅
The 3rd ambulance was indeed a FIAT Ducato, you actually get that vehicle platform in the USA too, but branded as a RAM ProMaster.
Great information thanks 😎
Only blue lights were allowed until 2018 in Czechia, since then also red can be used, but only in combination with blue. As almost all lights since approx. 2016 are multicolor, they just switched one half to red.
The reason some vehicles have RED-BLUE lights and some have only BLUE-BLUE is beacause there was a law that dictated the use of only blue emergency lights, but it was changed quite recently (2018 or 2019 I think). Therefore some "older" vehicles have only blue lights.
Also that truck at 2:15 is a CZS-15 Triton (short fo cisternová zodolněná stříkačka) made by Excalibour Army in cooperation with Tatra Trucks and THT polička. Its used mainly for operations in extreme and dangerous environment. This vehicle also has a cool big bro called CZS-40 Titan and CV-40 (th-cam.com/video/tvNMGSLlYlY/w-d-xo.html )
We were using only blue lights in Czech Republic, but sientists found out, that in heavy fog you can see red light much more better (sooner) so we use now both lights.
1:15 Toyota Aygo
2:05 Truck build for the czech military (mostly Tatra running gear)
3:04 some polaris buggy (those fly on trails and small mountain roads)
4:13 Euro Truck has emergency vehicles; you will see accidents ecc.. and some times you will have to deviate cause the road might be closed. If you buy the special transport dlc you will be escorted by ''pilot'' cars; with mods u can drive basicly anything.
5:42 Fiat Ducato
CZS - 15 Triton at time 2:05 is not built for the army of the Czech Republic, but for the rescue unit of the Fire and Rescue Service and is used for demanding fires in which there is primarily a risk of explosion. Both Triton and Titan (CZS - 40) intervened, for example, during a fire in the Czech Switzerland National Park
CZS - tank-mounted syringe, the number indicates the power of the pump.
CZS - 15 Triton v čase 2:05 není stavěn pro AČR, ale pro ZÚ HZS ČR a slouží k náročným požárům, u kterých hrozí především výbuch. Triton i Titan (CZS - 40) zasahovali například při požáru v Národním parku České Švýcarsko
CZS - cisternová zodolněná stříkačka, číslo udává výkon čerpadla.
2:00 my dad made the design of that vehicle with one of his colleagues and he was glad you like it! :)
In the Czech Republic, we also have fairly well-managed access to weapons, and obtaining a firearms license is well managed. I don't have a gun and I don't feel threatened when I walk down the street at night.
Its kinda sad that they didnt showed the paramedic's truck, its really big and beatiful, many peoples are out of their minds when they see that
Hello! Thank you for the wonderful video and I'm delighted to see you like our emergency response vehicles!
To explain a few things you were confused about...
The liveries on our Police cars used to be White with a Green Stripe since as far as I can recall, actually. I believe since the separation of Czechoslovakia in 1993. During the start of the 21st century, we have transitioned from those white and green, into the liveries you see here, silver with blue and neon yellow!
With that, we used to use all-blue Emergency Lights, for all three of the emergency responses. However, with modernization, we have moved on to use red-blue lights for the Police, and the blues are slowly being phased out in favor of the red-blues. This happened during the latter half of the 2010's, if I recall correctly.
Another thing is about the medical liveries.
Czech Republic is separated into 14 parts called "kraje". Sort of "Counties" if you will. And in every single county, the insignia of the local branch of the Police Department, the insignia of the local branch of Fire Department, and the livery of the local Emergency Medical Service, all change depending with the coat of arms and flag of the "County", for example, from the texts on the EMS vehicles, you can see that this is the Central Bohemian kraj, and with the last vehicle, you can see "Kolín" which is the name of the city they're having the parade in. Liveries and insignia in Prague, or other kraje, Moravian, Silesian, Southern Bohemian, etc. will be different, and easily, you can distinguish them! For example, Prague heavily centers around Red and Yellow, as those are the colors on the flag of the city of Prague. :)
Finally, the last vehicle, full white with livery, that is not the Czech Police as a whole, like the State Police, but only the localized, Obecní Policie Kolín, Municipal or Metropolitan Police, basically.
A lot of cities and towns have "Městská Policie" or "Obecní Policie", which unlike the Czech Police, is not under the Ministry of Interior, but under the local city magistrate or town hall. They do not have the same rights and privileges as the State police do, and their jurisdiction covers only the limits of their city or town.
Hope I was able to expand your horizons on what all of the liveries, Police forces, and emergency lights mean! And don't be afraid to contact me for further information or even possibly, if you'd be so inclined, collaboration in your videos, where I can explain the things you see live, if you're ever inclined to react to Czech emergency response again! :)¨
Have a swell day, and if you read this far down, you're a star.
The Tatra fire truck would also be my favourite 😉
The sirens have interchangeable modes, the faster ones are probably used when more attention is needed. Also I believe that when the vehicles brake harder, it goes into a very fast annoying siren sound, probably automatically, to alert the drivers further.
Another interesting thing is the rendez-vous (RV) system for ambulances - in more severe cases when an actual doctor is needed, not only the paramedics, a separate passanger vehicle is sent with a driver and the doctor. That is usually something like Škoda Octavia combi, Yeti (seen here), Kodiaq, or even the electric VW ID.4, with a lot of equipment in the trunk and on back seats. The RV meets the ambulance on the site. That vehicle can also be rerouted to more critical place if needed. On the way back, the RV can help the ambulance in serious emergency situations, by accelerating ahead, stopping traffic at an interseciton to let the ambulance drive through smoothly, then accelerate ahead it again and repeat. Really efficient.
As of today, the Fire Rescue Department has two new special vehicles. In Hlucín, firefighters have taken over the largest tanker in the Czech Republic with a volume of 21,000 liters and also a durable syringe labeled CZS 15. The firefighters call it Triton and will use it during attacks in extreme conditions.
The car is equipped to handle fires in forests or factories where explosions are at risk. Rescue unit began to seek it, among other things, after its experience
Most of Australia's fire engines are Scanias - and Isuzu's for rural fire service.
Canberra's are light green.
Scania does have comprehensive headquarters here for the trucks and buses, maintenance and repairs and I think modifications.
The semi high speed train that runs along the entire QLD coast, from the capital Brisbane to Cairns is a SAAB - Scania ( SAAB do make aircraft - used extensively in Australia - REX airlines.)
The train is a tilt train, so it tilts into corners to remain stable, when the tracks cannot support very fast trains.
5:00 Crane is owned by firefighters of railway instructure owner and operator - and yellow sign is letter Ž standing for železnice.
As many people already said EA stands for Excalibur Army, what probably no one said is that Patriot(Army)/Triton(Firefighters)/Rioter(police) use not only TATRA suspension/chassis system, but also theire unique aircooled turbodiesel V8 ;-) and regarding beacon light color red and blue is pretty new (no more then 5 years) and mostly on police cars and couple Ambulance cars (mostly new cars), big fire trucks are still with just blue (as it was for all emergency vehicles), back than you can also tell if the car who is aproching is Fire/Ambu/POPOmobile just by the sound of siren because there were different
And I forget that that little (smallest :-) ) Toyota is also made in Czech Republic
Fun fact: SCS Software (developers of ETS2 and ATS) are from Czechia.
My husband drives the Triton very often and I have also sat in it. It's a amazing car 🙈
4:50 The crane carrying truck there is actually not just a emergency vehicle, it is specificly owned by the firefighters under control of accidents on the railroads. They are used not just there but you can notice it by the Z like shape on the side of it which is the sign of czech Railway Managment.
I also noticed a few things our emergency units hid from the public, like the Golem used by paramedics, which is basicly a like a clinic on wheels
Hi from Czech Republic :)
The lights used to be blue-blue, but after 2018 it is possible to use blue-red. Each color has its advantages and disadvantages. But the combination of red and blue covers a much wider light spectrum and is more practical. Red color is more visible in fog, snow, heavy rain, etc...
2:35 That armoured fire truck is mostly used on like chemical leaks or potentionaly dangerous fire areas where for example poisionous gas leaks can be used if theres a radiation leak too.
My dad used to work on Tatra trucks before we emigrated to the states. I love seeing how excited you get about these vehicles, like a little kid (no offense meant at all, it's endearing). I landed on your channel after watching your UK video (living in England now). This would not normally be my thing, but anything UK or Czech holds my interest, haha.
Thanks for sharing, I’m excited to learn some things about Czech people and culture, (and UK too)
Glad you noticed my enthusiasm 😎🎉🤣
I do get excited watching these, it’s a nice break from the crazy world and news that’s always on these days
@@IWrocker Czechs are good in playing of Ice hockey as well. Ex-player of Buffalo Sabres in 1995-2003 named VACLAV VARADA is comming from our little town Koprivnice, where trucks Tatra are made, and as a child he started to play for Ice hokey team Tatra Koprivnice.

Did you know that name of Tatra is derived by iconic Tatry mountain in Slovakia? (Formerly CzechoSlovakia) 🏔️❄️
The Czech Republic uses both blue and red beacons, and Euro truck simulator and American truck simulator from SCS Software are also from the Czech Republic.
That’s so cool, I didn’t realize at all that those games are from the Czech Republic 🇨🇿
about those lights, combination of red and blue was allowed abour 2 or 3 years ago so the older vehickes have still blue lights only
Love to see my country getting some love and respect!
3:37 we used to have only blues as well, but red is more visible in fog so they change it few years ago.
And you can later see that some firetrucks has only blue.. (older)
it reminds me some game with firefighters I played in like 2004, it was very cool game, I think it was called literally Fire Department, but I am not sure, name was translated to Czech, you had to move with those cars to put them more close to your foot firefighters to make water refilling faster and when fire was blocking your way, you ran out of water fast, it was a cool game
I am happy about your enthusiasm and that you like our Tatras and Skodas. Greetings from the Czech Republic
Thanks for a vid, this is actually from my nearest town(Kolín - central Bohemia region) ..this event is traditionaly held every year at spring for yeears( 15 years+ for sure) - it is called "A day of the emergency rescuers" and they bring all those vehicles on the town square so people and especially children can look inside them and see how they work.. there is usually police, firefighters and ambulance and the military actually participate too but they got their own space outside of the town.
Fun fact: The fireman siren on the cars is so loud that if you're in a tunel and the siren is going off, you almost won't hear anything else than the siren, maybe even a gunshot is more silent.
Hello nad greeting from Czechia. Since you love trucks and Skodas, you might be interested in one and only truck they made called Škoda Xena
The history of the Tatra company dates back to 1850 and is one of the oldest truck manufacturers in the world. The company has made many significant developments and innovations in the field of vehicle production, especially in the field of trucks. Tatra trucks are renowned for their reliability, durability and excellent performance on difficult terrain.
Hi from Czech republic ;) Hello America, I admire your machines full of chrome ;)
The second firetruck is Tatra too. Double special fire truck - Tatra Titan and Triton.
You should google up Czech Ambulance “Golem”! Pretty cool vehicle. Greetings from Czechia ❤
Hi, I am an volunteer firefighter from Czech Republic. All of our emergency vehicles used to have blue light's. Now we are slowly changing it to red and blue.
We have some more interesting stuff, for example we have a semi truck from Mercedes Benz and the trailer is like a big hospital in small trailer. You can unfold it and get medical treatment for a lot of people at once.
Just to let you know, the police cars in front of the convoy are state police and the last car ( the white one with Městská policie written on it) are like a City police.
As you saw the medical cars, the small Škoda in front of them is a car where the doctor is driven to the pacient. They come few minutes faster than the ambulance to provide instant treatment.
Já se nemůžu nejak dostat přes ten fakt že drtivá většina výjezdů pro Americké hasiče je to kam u nás jezdí sanitky. Někde jsem to viděl. Prostě na případy jako úrazy, kolaps. Jezdí v Americe hasičské auto plný vody a je tak dvakrát větší než evropský cisterny.
@@jabanan Je to divný no. Ale vlastně to trochu má smysl.
Zbrojnice mají spojené hasiči a emt ( zdravotníci). To je pravděpodobně pozůstatek z minulosti kdy když lidi nevěděli kam jít s někým zraněným, tak došli k hasičům. Protože to určitě jsou chytrý a zkušený lidi. Ty nám pomůžou.
No a někde cestou se to transformovalo na to co je dnes. Zbrojnice mají společné a když není sanitka nebo pokud je to něco obtížného, tak jedou hasiči.
V Česku prostě přijede sanitka a pokud má problémy zavolá si na centrálu a nechá si poslat nejbližší jednotku hasičů.
I am really happy you posting this videos about Czechia!
Because i really enjoy this videos about Czechia.
I living here and actually this state is beatiful!
But Škoda Cars is from 1991 year is part of Volkswagen Group but Škoda is still most big firm in Czechia!
Love your content!

Fact about the "armored" vehicle.
This vehicles is firefighter and serves on inaccessible locations for example: Woods, muddy roads, wet dirty roads and so on!
And i like 2 this Vehicle.
The armored vehicle, if I remember correctly, is for when there is a flood as it's pretty high so that water won't leak in (ofc it's also sealed) and if there was something heavy the water is carrying and hit the vehicle, the crew would be safe.
Germany and Austria have blue lights because it gets diffused the best at longer distances. It was adopted in 1933 for the police and fire service (which was part of the police back then) so the bombers in WWII wouldn't be able to spot it well.
Yeah we kinda wanna have our vehicles well visible even during fog or blizzard, so that other drivers see them and do not kill our policemen and firefighters.
We had only blue too in the past, but they changed it few years ago, I think new lights were from american company back in the day because it won some competition for new lights or something, so they decided to change a law and allowed blu-red combination, also, they say it has better visibility and they like this change, so all new cars will have blue-red lights in the future, if they don't change it again, but I think it looks cool, our cars now look more unique in Europe, especially those with installed extra ramming bumbers.
Police indeed had all blue lights here in the CZE, however they changed it to red and blue as they said the red lights has a longer wavelength and is seen further away and in bad weather... And also like that most if not all Skoda Combis have steel front bumper to avoid damages but also to be able to conduct car to car manoeuvres (during chases, etc...)
And the tiny Toyota looks like a Toyota Aygo .. Its smaller than the Yaris and manufacture in the Toyota/Peugeot/Citroen plant in Kolín here
Btw. we have been switching to blue-red beacons only in recent years, most emergency vehicles in the Czech Republic still have pure blue beacons.
The Toyota is also produced in Chechia - in Kolin there is a factory (build for Toyota - PSA cooperation), there's also a Hyundai factory
I'm from Czech and I love my country.🇨🇿🇨🇿🇨🇿🇨🇿🇨🇿🇨🇿
Me too, já také.
Já nade vše miluju svoji zemi Českou republiku a nikdy bych odsud nemohl odejít ani kdybych věděl, že se tam budu mít "lépe".
in CZ all emergency responders had alwas just blue lights, but recently (just few years ago) it has been slowly changing to blue and red. So older cars have blue, newer cars have red/blue.
You should react to: "How different Countries React To Emergency Services"
Czech Tatra still produces other firefighting specials such as the Tatra 815/7 or the armoured Tatra Titan. Here is also a short video: th-cam.com/video/AhasDbCfaoM/w-d-xo.html
lol, im from Czechia and im learning about our emergency vehicles from US channel:D Glad my firefighters have such a cool equipment:)
Fun fact. Vehicle you seen at 5:00 (one with the crane) belongs to czech reilway. Yes our railway company got its own fire brigade. These guys got even their own tank.
The Czech Parlament updated law about beacons kinda recently, that's why someone got just blue lights. They wasn't allowed to use red lights for this purpose before. Btw. It's like mixed fleet of vehicles from all Czechia regions not like one region or even town.
Until recently Czechia had only blue lights as well, they passed a law that allows red sirens as well, at this moment emergency vehicles can use either only blue or blue with red, red only is still not allowed
Apart from that truck from Excalibur Army, there are fire-brigade Tatras with armored cabs, I think it's Force line, very cool looking. And I believe there are few fire tanks for very special tasks as well. As for games, I'm not an expert,but AFAIK you can drive a lot of stuff including cool trucks in Farm Simulator.
6:07 last white car is from Municipal Police in Kolin. I guess that is were that parade took place.
Tatra is awesome and very old car brand 1850-1890 depending , i have one what i bought very long time ago 603 and 613 :) and military vehicles are legendary same as paris dakar :) i think in 1987 they make model who drove around world
I believe that armored vehicle is used for firefighting in former ordnance attempted areas.
In East Germany, such vehicles are used in forest fires, in areas where munitions from World War II are still lying in the ground.
Have a good day. =D
tatra is clasic czech fire cars and now is 815-7 and Force kabine standard
Greetings from Czech Republic!
I just want tell you fact, every beacons was blue until 2019 or 2020, then because of European Union, every new car after that year MUST have red/blue. Because they are better visible in fog or on greater lenght. But study shows the diffrence of distance are around 150 m. IMO it wasted money. Since last year I moved to Slovakia Republic, where are only blue beacons but there are also private companies providing emergency and every company has different ambulances
👍 Little lesson how to pronouce Škoda auto brand: That "Š" at begining of the word try to pronounce as a "sh" in word "share", "shake". At the and it will sound like saying [shkoda].
Good videos. TH-cam algorithm works in mysterious ways, that you were suggested to me in Czechia.
As I'm saying, "It's good, but always can be improved."
The Czech fire truck is the new Scania P440 from Ostrava city, amazing color( special from the Moravian-Silesian region), perfect siren :)
hi, i am from czech republic and i like your enthusiasm for our country and for our stuff.. pretty reaction video buddy!
Thank You 😎🎉
Fun fact škoda is widely used around the world as police vehicle as they make custom prepared vehicles for police and other emergency units
Hello. I'm from the Czech Republic and it's so nice to look at how American reacts to our videos/cars. In the Czech Republic (mainly in Brno (city) is lots of firetrucks brand Scania. I love it. And yeah Škoda/Skoda I think is the most popular brand of car. Btw our police cars have a lot of styles of sirens. I play ets2 too and it's a really good game actually, it was created in the Czech Republic :D
Older cars have blue only sirens because it was only legal option but they changed the law few years ago and now new vehicles have red/blue combination for better visibility during day-time. (You cant see blue siren well when sun is too bright)
I was hoping for more ambulances to appear, especially the special ones Prague department has in use. I like the EMS module Golem, but it's hard to find any video of it.
That armored vehicle is Tatra Triton. It's used to fires where is an explosion risk. For example factories, warehouses, garbage dumps etc. It's used in forest fires too. EA means Excalibur Army which is company that made this modification of Tatra.
In Czech Republic we had only blue emergency lights a few years ago. In 2018, red and blue were implemented for better visibility. That's why in the video some vehicles have only blue lights.
