Kyoto emergency services (collection)

Video compilation featuring ambulances of the Kyoto fire department responding in downtown as well as some police cars. Japanese ambulances are equipped with a hi-lo two tone as well as a wail siren and usually the crews make PA annoucements to the other drivers. This is very common in Japan, the purpose is to let the people know how they have to react and which way the emergency vehicle is going to take //

Videozusammenschnitt mit Aufnahmen von Rettungswagen der Feuerwehr Kyoto auf Alarmfahrt in der Stadt bzw. beim Ausrücken von der Wache sowie von Einsatzfahrzeugen der Polizei. Japanische Rettungswagen sind mit einem Folgetonhorn und einer Wail Sirene ausgestattet und die Besatzungen machen zwischendurch diverse Durchsagen über die Außenlautsprecher. Dies ist sehr verbreitet in Japan und dient dazu den anderen Verkehrsteilnehmern mitzuteilen wie sie sich zu verhalten haben und in welche Richtung das Einsatzfahrzeug fährt //

I love how polite the Japanese are, the man working traffic at 4:31 bowed to the drivers he had stopped. Haha.

Danke schön Dirk, daß Du für uns die Welt bereist und extra Hotels in der Nähe der Rettungswachen buchts.

Such a beautiful sight. When I see an Japanese emergency vehicle I feel relieved. The sirens sound so friendly but scary too. I wanna go Japan XD!

5:03 "Please note that you will turn left."  6:33 "Please note that you will turn right."  7:38 "Ambulance passes, Please be careful."

Their ambulance looks so futuristic. Then again, they are about 10 years ahead of us or so =P

"If I die because someone was driving about 10 to 15 MPH, that would be O.K." Said no one ever... lol

[PpAirO]

Ambulances in my country probably drive double the speed.

Ich find's geil, wie der Sicherungsposten sich bei 4:33 verbeugt, um den wartetenden Verkehrsteilnehmern zu danken

Ambulance service is free in Japan and people call them for everything but they are required to use lights and sirens for each call. No point of reckless driving for a minor call.

Das sind die absolut reudichsten Sirenen die ich in meinem Leben gehört hab! Die hört ja keine Sau. Klingt eher beruhigend und einschläfernd wie von einer Spieluhr für Kinder. :D

[noreworks]

In Japan, even the siren sounds are soothing, and their driving is very polite

[kataru]

Can't wait to take a tour of a fire house when I visit Kyoto

[atoka]

I go faster with bicycle, than a japanese ambulance car...

[rossnolan]

I could actually fall asleep listening to this weird siren on the ambulances but I know it's saying get out the way 😀

[PolizeiPaul]

Does all the ambulances in Japan belong to the fire dept or do they have some private ambulance services like in America?

This nice, to call an Ambulance is in the mostly countries of the European Union free too.

But in cities normally more as one car / apparatus is called.

Largest bus is neoplan tourliner and neoplan skyliner

I guess they drive slowly, because it is a big city with lots of traffic. I mean there are easily 5 or 6 lanes and huge junctions. Going over it very quickly and traffic comes from the side and crash. It actually makes sense for them to drive a bit more carefully, rather than to risk it.

Mann, die in Japan haben aber verdammt viel Zeit! :D
