"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.

[@bobeekCZ]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/mH-woWd4mZKEm5Y 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

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

[@heisenberg6317]

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.

[@jankoflak820]

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)

[@stripemcr5722]

Czechia is certainly a country that has made an incredible progress in upgrading its emergency vehicles

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.

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.

[@matkys]

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.

[@Real_Mysticall]

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

[@AndrewCZ47]

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.

[@johnnysteele5934]

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.

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. :)

[@Ghostwulf.J.M.]

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.

[@manofharlech5775]

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... 😉 kzbin.info/www/bejne/npbMYo2veKakgs0

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.

[@MIKI-dc2dv]

Like two years ago, emeregncy vehicles in Czechia had only blue lights, but now they have red and blue

[@Foolercze]

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.

2:10 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👍🏼😅

[@adrianmclean9195]

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.

[@nikodevil993]

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.

[@nikodevil993]

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

[@d0m1n1kcz2]

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 (kzbin.info/www/bejne/qqexfnqJgdGMors )

[@mkrsek1]

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.

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.

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

[@vladimirsochor2124]

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.

[@Tomaskom]

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.

[@johnnysteele5934]

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.

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...

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.

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.

[@jantadeasrejfek6860]

@@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.

My husband drives the Triton very often and I have also sat in it. It's a amazing car 🙈

[@barnabasik]

Did you know that name of Tatra is derived by iconic Tatry mountain in Slovakia? (Formerly CzechoSlovakia) 🏔️❄️

[@The_Unexpected_Inquisitor]

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.

[@Diveyl]

6:07 last white car is from Municipal Police in Kolin. I guess that is were that parade took place.

[@almerindaromeira8352]

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.

[@Pyrochemik007]

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.

[@Pidalin]

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.

[@janzatloukal1]

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.

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.

[@sebastiannovotny8198]

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.

[@MrUwagas]

The Czech fire truck is the new Scania P440 from Ostrava city, amazing color( special from the Moravian-Silesian region), perfect siren :)

[@daesu3236]

lol, im from Czechia and im learning about our emergency vehicles from US channel:D Glad my firefighters have such a cool equipment:)

[@charliebirch3062]

2:34 , if I am sure, its EA Excalibur Army, which made that monster truck on Tatra platforms and its same as used for export to army

hi, i am from czech republic and i like your enthusiasm for our country and for our stuff.. pretty reaction video buddy!

[@IWrocker]

Thank You 😎🎉

[@Cjarka_]

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.

[@The_Wallu]

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.

[@KolinskaAutobusova]

This is in OUR TOWN OMG THANK YOU ❤❤🎉🎉 First is Toyota Aygo

[@Twiluxik_2]

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.

[@ToxicatMusic]

You’re doing great job. Officialy our country is Czechia, but some time ago it was called Czech Republic. Personally I prefer the second name. Behind the first police car is really Skoda, like you say, its made in the city, which brings the name Mlada Boleslav, 40 miles away from the capital city Prague. Skoda is maintained by Volkswagen and the engines are based on same concept, like VW. Thank you for your clip :)

[@georgeschannel295]

Hi from Czech republic ;) Hello America, I admire your machines full of chrome ;)

[@Martin_Dc]

Czech Tatra still produces other firefighting specials such as the Tatra 815/7 or the armoured Tatra Titan. Here is also a short video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d5nEpHeYeMuUpa8

[@oakld]

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.

[@Eddys2510]

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

[@Pidalin]

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

[@koga1330]

Just like in most European countries emergency lights are officially blue but they often use red as an additional color as it is more visible at a distance.

[@foxfire0ne]

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.

[@Skyliner03]

The 2:10 fire truck is a CZS 15 Triton with Tatra technology (Excalibur Army)

[@DanVibesTV]

The small Toyota is smaller than the Yaris. It's a Toyota Aygo - tiny car with amazing fuel economy built in cooperation with Citroen and Peugeot (Citroen C1 and Peugeot 108 are basically the same care with different badges). Depending on the model year you can expect between 3.9 and 4.5 l / 100km (52 to 60 mpg) - the newer Aygo X uses the bigger platform of the Yaris, got raised by a few inches (so that they can call it Crossover^^) and gets slightly worse gas mileage of about 4.8l/100 (49mpg). And it is actually produced in Czechia.

[@alanmay7929]

I think it has a Daihatsu engine also owned by toyota

[@foxy126pl6]

@@alanmay7929 it was based on one, but the ones used in the newer aygos are modernised by toyota itself

[@clarksonoceallachain8536]

Japan has some daihatsu kei cars on the force Smaller than any toyota

[@The_Unexpected_Inquisitor]

Actually they are produced in this very town 😀 and the police got the Aygo as a gift from the company. Great for maneuvering around the town since Kolín is historical city and thus it's sometimes dificult to get htrough especially the traffic spikes..

[@jirkasopov3762]

first skoda 1:28 is skoda scala 1:48 skoda octavia third generation 1:54 is kodiaq i think 2:04 EA is tatra 2:42 yes that is hilux and it's used for transport food water if it's big fire then they put in trunk food water and they will take it to firefighters. 4:43 that scania is used for decontaminate granates 5:00 that is used if train is crashed then they pul it to rails again if it's on the side, 5:50 its fiat

[@fastadobetutorials]

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

[@lukasmaxa8700]

Fun fact škoda is widely used around the world as police vehicle as they make custom prepared vehicles for police and other emergency units

[@TheSkimi95]

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

[@homobohemicus]

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

[@wolfrinav7863]

👍 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. KZbin 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."

Tatra trucks used to compete in Paris Dakar rally. They were very durable and could be trusted. Shame is what company has to had gone through such mess lately.

But now is Ok.

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

[@bitkarek]

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.

[@Jur_a]

You should google up Czech Ambulance “Golem”! Pretty cool vehicle. Greetings from Czechia ❤
