[Hong Kong] Super Busy Ambulance Station!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 сен 2024
- Captured here is the Wong Tai Sin Ambulance Depot of the Hong Kong Fire Services Department (HKFSD), which is combined with a fire station by the same name. This ambulance station is considered to be one of the busiest in all of Hong Kong as the Wong Tai Sin area is mainly residential, very densely populated, and home to a large population of senior citizens. During the daily 'peak period' for ambulance calls (around 5 to 7pm) ambulances regularly turn out every five minutes for a new emergency call!

A highly informative and well edited video. I learned something new about the sirens; as often I have wondered why they sometimes appear so quiet and other times not (thinking it was newer or older models).
Thank you very much Cobra! Yes the volume controls are a bit of an odd thing in Hong Kong, but it kind of makes sense considering how densely populated this city really is. I should also mention that ambulances in Hong Kong are required to respond to all 999 calls with lights and siren, regardless of whether the call is life threatening or not. That’s another reason why the drivers will sometimes not bother turning up the volume and making it urgent.
To hear the siren volume turned up all the way I would suggest the following videos: ⬇️

As I know the Hong Kong new ambulance now have change to Yellow color just like the british but it rare to see it, I hope you can catch it!
Yes, the new color a s design is interesting. It’s becoming more and more common in HK nowadays from what I’ve seen. Hope I can travel there again soon to capture them.
Great video!
Thanks man! 😁
These Hong Kong Ambulances Are Amazing Love How They Look & Fantastic Lights + Sirens.
I love them too. Can’t get enough of them haha 😁
@@TGGGlobalEmergencyResponses The base color is yellow instead of white for new vehicles now, especially fir motorbikes, BMW X5 and SSU
1:50 nice to see a Dennis sabre still about
Yea definitely!
Wow! Sounds like they all keep very busy! Great video as always!
Thank you! Definitely. I got about two dozen response clips in a few hours 😆
How many ambulances are at a depot?
It varies. Some depots have dozens of units, but sometimes ambulances run out of the fire stations, without a separate depot, and there’s only 1 or 2 units. For example Wong Tai Sin has a lot of ambulances, one RRV, but no motorcycle unit.
@@TGGGlobalEmergencyResponses Thanks!
@@TGGGlobalEmergencyResponses There actually is a motorcycle unit (might even be two now) in the depot.
Caught it once here: ruclips.net/video/HKBsxCsb-qU/видео.html&ab_channel=mlps93
and another time "on air": ruclips.net/video/Idgk1CTxtnU/видео.html&ab_channel=mlps93
@@mlps93 Ahh cool! I’m pretty sure they didn’t have any when I was there, but might be mistaken 🤔
Some great video there. I managed to catch some action at Kai Tek station a couple of years ago after a pre-arranged meet with a supervisor. Their training is pretty basic compared to Australia, but are looking at what other countries are doing with skills. Continual development is always a good thing.
Thank you! I cannot confirm how good their training actually is, but as far as I know all ambulances are operated at paramedic level, and the equipment they carry would most likely equate to ‘advanced life support’ (ALS) in North America. I know that HKFSD also does occasional training exchanges with the BC Ambulance Service in Canada.
@@TGGGlobalEmergencyResponses I'd love the opportunity to do an observer ride along with HK ambulance crews. Managed to do one a few years ago in Berlin going around with a supervisor which was a fantastic opportunity.
If you are a paramedic or firefighter yourself it should be possible to get a ride along. For civilians this is usually not allowed in HK. During the pandemic however all visits to HKFSD facilities are prohibited.
@@TGGGlobalEmergencyResponses Yes, an Australian paramedic. All observation ride alongs are usually requested through official channels months in advance. At the moment most Australians aren't allowed to travel overseas.
Great, in that case it should definitely be possible to arrange a ride-along and a station visit in the future. I know they are very friendly and accommodating, it’s just the COVID-19 pandemic that is making things complicated at the moment.
Nice video!
Thank you!
Very nice catches! Reminds me of when I was there 2 yrs ago
Thank you! This would definitely be an ambulance depot to check out if you want to get many videos in a short period of time 😆
Ich liebe diese Ambulancen 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Ich auch 😁

Hong Kong ambulance service is busy is because lack of people in the ambulance service and abuse of the ambulance service.
There are multiple factors. Hong Kong is a bustling metropolis of 8 million people, so it is not surprising that there is a high demand for emergency medical services. I think people’s attitude towards the services have been improving, and abuse has been in decline.
do you know the scope of practice? is it more ems based or paramedic or even doctor based system?
All ambulances are staffed by paramedics. Emergency doctors can be called in for serious incidents.
They drive very slow?
Depends. Sometimes they are faster. They are required to respond to all calls with lights and sirens, even if it’s not life-threatening. So they won’t always rush like crazy.

What's SAR mean??
And I'm wondering why ambulances in HK use Sprinter like in England
SAR stands for "Special Administration Region" of People's Republic of China. HK used to be ruled by the British Empire before 1997, so you can see large influence of it in places like in the ambulances.
Woah! That car looks sick! Great video from Hong Kong, I should visit there some day...
Thank you! Yes you should 👍🏼
is it me or r they only using the wail siren. it seems like cops and ambulances use wail in hk while fire uses yelp. correct me if im wrong
Cops and ambulance will stick to wail 90% of the time. Same rule applies to fire, except they use yelp. However, when clearing junctions or for serious calls, Fire may use phaser (hyperyelp), while Ambo and Police will switch to yelp for those situations.
You are correct. It is one of those odd habits of the emergency services in Hong Kong. I don’t think there is any actual written procedure on it, but ambulances commonly use Wail, fire trucks use Yelp, and the police are somewhere in between (Wail, Yelp, Phaser, Hi-Lo) depending on the urgency on the call or simply the preferences of the driver. I have captured them mixing things up on several occasions though.
very good
Thank you ☺️
ur'e welcome
Nice one, seeing all these makes me miss HK 😢
Thank you! I miss HK as well. Really hope to return as soon as possible.
Amazing video!! :)
Thank you! ☺️
Almost same with turkish siren
Similar yes.
nice
Thanks!
Great video bro
Thank you! 😁
0:58 there was another ambulance at the right side
Yea you can see a few ambulances passing each other :)
And they most likely weren’t called because they were busy already transporting someone
Me before watching: "I don't know about 6 minutes of ambulance calls..."
Me after watching: "That was great! 😀"
I always appreciate how much information your videos convey, in addition to the responses - awesome work!
Thank you very much Lucas! 🙏🏼☺️
Love the video. And the volume controls are very clever but I'm more of a 140 db to toner guy
Thank you! Personally I am not a fan of the volume controls. I think if you are going to use the siren you should use it well and make it urgent, otherwise there is no point and people just ignore you. But every country has its own style and procedures.
The siren volume is a nice idea
nice do they respond somtimes 2.500 a day?
Definitely. They are every busy.
Fantastic catches!!
I see you got the true and full Wong Tai Sin Ambulance Depot experience...now if only there was a fire engine turnout to go with it haha
I definitely prefer the BMW X5 RRV a lot more :P
Thank you very much! I will definitely be back to get more of this action, and this time I won’t leave before I get those fire trucks haha
Oh yea. I’m hoping to catch the BMW at this station as well!
Great catches, Tim! Really enjoyed eatching :)
Thank you! I’m glad to hear it :)
WOW! Nice video! :D
Thank you 😄
Happy total defence day singapore
Faz dos veículos de emergência do Brazil. Região Sudeste
Plisss truk fire italy
Nose my car is in the video
And am froom italy
Great video! Do you know what the crew does? I mean are they all paramedics or is there a driver or a doctors etc.
As far as I know they are all trained on paramedic level. They sometimes have a trainee on board or even a firefighter who is completing medical first responder training. There are no doctors inside HK ambulances, but I have been told that the Rapid Response Vehicle (RRV) may take on the function of an emergency doctor car (whether it is actually staffed by an emergency doctor I do not know).
@@TGGGlobalEmergencyResponses got it. Thanks for the info. I am a paramedic from Greece.
@@sotosl5772 No problem! :)
@@TGGGlobalEmergencyResponses If there is a Multi Casualties Incident (MCI), doctors will be in the Mobile Casualties Treatment Centre (MCTC), and they will be brought to the scene to provide treatment to the casualties.
@@leunghochunwillis4203 Thanks for the information!
Was that a fire truck at 1:51 that passed by on the left
Yea, an old Dennis spare pumper returning to the adjacent fire station.
@@TGGGlobalEmergencyResponses cool thanks
They only use wail?
Mostly wail when it’s not too urgent. They’ll use Yelp pretty regularly and also hi-lo and bullhorn at times.
Fun fact Hong Kong only has 4 mobile casualty cars also knows as MCTC
Yes, this was mentioned in the video. 😁
@@TGGGlobalEmergencyResponses you said 3 not four
@@SirHippoYT Take another look at the video... 😅
@@TGGGlobalEmergencyResponses I meant you said four not three my dad is a paramedic in Hong Kong so I sure know more than you
Those poor paramedics are probably being overworked to death if they have to respond every 5 minutes IMO
I think so…
Wow from an American point of view: Why these ambulances lighting their flashers and sirens if they're still going to stop at red lights and not ROAR that huge V8 turbo diesel.
Also why do they seem so slow even when they seem to be stepping on it.
OMG thats not an amulance it's one of those little van-trucks that my local postal service uses, sounds like a inline 4 diesel (☞ﾟ∀ﾟ)☞ HAHAHA
example of here: ruclips.net/video/7C6H9li-CsE/видео.html
here sirens mean GTFO the way I'm speeding and you better not think you can go because the light is green Imma make you regret it :D
often if it's a 4 lane blvd but one lane on both sides is used for parking, people will still get out the way IN BOTH directions and leave the ENTIRE street for them.
dont americans have transits
when is there a video of switzerland from u
Whenever I get the chance to visit Switzerland! 😁
u have never been to switzerland???????
Nope. Sadly I haven’t 😅
well fuck you then
@@maretosevska1354 DUDE IT DOSENT MATTER
its interesting that in HK all Ambulances are using wail as default tone, while fire use yelp. In Thailand they are all opposit.
Yea that’s how they do it in HK. Does not make much sense to me, since siren tones are supposed to be switched around (especially when passing intersections or red lights) in order to get the attention of drivers on the road.
我想看到黃色救護車🚑
