One cool thing about the fire service in Dublin is that they operate US-style Fire ambulances housed in the stations. All firefighters in Dublin are trained as paramedics and rotate between the trucks and ambulances.

Hi ian . im 🇦🇺 if you turned down the volume you could be confused in thinking this is Australia look very similar street scape and cars .hi to all the Irish 🇦🇺👍

Both mountain rescue teams and lifeboats service (RNLI) in Ireland are volunteer based.

Ya the police here🇮🇪 are called "An Garda Siochana" which in irish translates to the guardians of the peace.

Yes, you can purchase second hand emergency service vehicles at auction in UK & Ireland. Would be class to see you react to the emergency vehicles responding in Northern Ireland :)

the volkswagen and th rosenbower are from the airport fire service

The red Cross toyota is a landcruiser 120 series, very common in Ireland, as regards purchasing decommissioned, emergency vehicles in Ireland, yes it's possible, most end up in car auctions, police cars are stripped out and the vinyl wrap stickers removed, they're base models and would be pretty worn out, so not really worth buying, you sometimes get fire engines and ambulances too, incidentally I live next door to a truck dismantler's yard and he often gets fire engines, recently he had two airport fire tender complete with foam cannons, you also get some pretty cool electricity supply board (ESB) trucks at the auctions, mostly 4x4 mercedes like unimogs, atego trucks and vario vans, they also use 4WD and 2WD iveco, Ford, Renault and Toyota, all of which eventually end up at auction. The only ex government stuff you can't purchase are military vehicles.

Irish emergency sirens are the same as the UK ones as are many of their vehicles (but not all)

In the UK there are tegular MOD (Warcdept) vehicle sales, but most police fire and ambulance fleets are now leased. Ireland will be different. Volunteers in mountain rescues teams (etc.) used to seek out ex mod vehicles.

11:27 those Rosenbauer look really nice. Amsterdam Schiphol just replaces their crashtenders with I think the same model but 8x8 drive due to the soft soil around the airport. those really look like beasts. For your emergency reaction video's. we used to have Cheverolet ambulances here in the Amsterdam region replaced about 8 years ago. If you search for the video "Amsterdamse Chevrolet ambulances definitief uit dienst." you can see some nice drifting action in the first part of the video :P

The only quibble I have is that the old school Defender in the video is very much not a "lifestyle vehicle", it's purely a utility wagon. That said the example pictured did have alloy wheels which looked a little incongruous.

You need to look into the land rovers more! They were the british take on the willys jeep, and they're absolute beasts. and rust magnets. You might find the "Tangi" land rover interesting - an armored version for use in the northern ireland police service. Luckily they're getting rarer. And yes - the Rosenbauer looks like it belongs on Mars, not Dublin.

A police station is called a garda station. Garda is also the name of the lowest rank within the force (e.g. "Garda John Murphy", analogous to the British term "constable" or the American "officer", "deputy", "trooper", etc.).

Garda (singular) and Gardai (plural, pronounced like “gardee”) = police in Irish. We do have dual rear wheels in vans in the US. Both, Ford Transit and Mercedes/Freightliner Sprinter are available with them. They’s most often found as 15-pax high top passenger vans. Ireland mostly uses Hyundais for police vehicles and the city cars tend to have the plain white livery, while the motorway (highway) units are high visibility. As for the variety of brands… Ireland doesn’t make cars, so they have no domestic industry to protect and no preconceptions. They buy what works for them in the moment.

The ""squared"" paint scheme - also used in the UK and Europe - is known as the ""Battenburg"" scheme, after the English cake of the same name. Look up Battenburg cake and you'll see the obvious connection!

Most countries in the world have also standardized the colors of the Battenburg markings. The police are yellow/blue, the ambulance is yellow/green and the fire brigade is usually yellow/red.

"The rain is not stopping them..." 😂 .... i mean it is Ireland. This is an average day in March , weatherwise. We have a similar weatherpatern, wind or water are no issue for us but put me in Arizona and i will probably die the minute i step outside. 😂. It just depends what you're used to i guess.

Land Rover Defender and Discovery mk1 & 2 are almost the same. They share a lot of parts, are easy to work on and if there was a road to the Moon, they would make it! In modern years the saying goes... "why doesn't LR make their own electronics" , well.... they are still trying to make a computer leak oil! ;) P.S. if there's no puddle of oil underneath a LR, something is wrong!

Emergency vehicles here have something in common with the US is that some of your Emergency vehicles use technology from a Irish company by the name of Timoney Technology of Ireland. USAF fire emergency & Military trucks also use technology from the Irish company. The fire rescue truck you like would be a licensed version of the Timoney vehicles. Check the company out.

At least in Germany you can buy old emergency vehicles. They are usually leased and sold afterwards from the manufacturer, sometimes even with some of modifications except for blue lights, radio and so on. But mostly it is just for "normal" vehicles, if they are very specialized like the landrovers, they usually are driven until they are just scraped. Double axle in the back usually indicates, that it is 3,5-7.5 tons vehicle instead of up to 3,5 for "normal" vans. Those Rosenbauer fire trucks are very expensive and are usually only used on bigger airports and/or at some huge factories (e.g. chemical companies) from the works fire service.

That Ford Estate you thought was a Focus was actually a Mondeo, the bigger "brother" of the Focus, I believe in the US that model was most recently sold as the Ford Fusion, and before that the Ford Contour/Mercury Mystique That Toyota SUV is indeed a Land Cruiser, it might be a version of the Land Cruiser you didnt get in the US since you did not Recognize it That Renault van that you said you don't get in the US, you should consider yourself lucky, we had one of those at my last job, and despite it not even having 60k miles on the clock it had a literal sh*tload of problems all the time, the door handles kept falling off, the entire sliding side door to the back actually fell off one time, the engine had a wierd knocking noise when the engine was cold etc. And to top it all off, atleast for me as a rather tall guy, which I know you are too, it was extremely uncomfortable to drive, my knees were pretty much welded to the dashboard at all times despite having the seat pushed back almost through the wall

you should definitely check some Irish rally also

What you call wagons e.g. The Ford Focus.We call estates over here in the uk..

3:45 thats as we call, the dog box. The Prison bus. They come much bigger also theres smaller ones too. IPS stands for Irish prison service and then the truck serial number. They bring convicted People to prison from court, or prisoners from prison to court and prison transfers. 8:06 yea you can, in the Garda auctions. Also you can go online to the CAB Auctions that sells confiscated stuff from people too.

Yes you can buy old Garda and other government agencies vehicles, and they are probably the best ones to buy if you can get them, Normally they are fully spec out with full service history and all the best repair parts would have been put into them.

Land Rover Defenders (the old ones) are half tractor. Incredible vehicle but not an everyday drive unless you’re a farmer who’s staying local.

You should look at some of the more obscure British emergency vehicles,especially the video where the military range caught fire,we have unimogs, and even a British G wagon as a brush fire vehicle!

A person from my family had an ex garda car it was ford mondeo from 2005

The Garda is Irish police ... The Iveco is an inmate transportation , the Defender , for S.A.R

I would love to get the chance to drive those Fire-Engines.

3:20 I a German would call this config of the IVECO daily a truck, because it for sure is above the 5 ton mark

None of the Audi Q7 Garda Armed support vehicles 😮 now those are cool. I got pulled over once by them, they had their faces covered and heavily armed. Mistaken identity of course 😂 I was driving a similar car to the one they were looking for.

The electrical company in Ireland use Unimogs.

Would love to see you react to some dutch emergency vehicles there are some awesome cars and trucks over here

Should've included Dublin Fire Brigade who are a Fire-EMS service, you would've seen the livery seen on Dublin's ambulance service which is provided through DFB

That Defender looked more like an old school discovery. Which look far better than the modern ones.

The Toyota from Irish Red Cross IS a Land Cruiser. You are correct, Sir 🙂

We call the squared colour scheme of any colour " Battenburg style" So called after Battenburg cakes which are pink & yellow squares in a yellow marzipan wrap. regards

That first one was likely a 1916 commemoration parade. Garda means guardian in Irish An Gardaí Síochána the guardians of the peace. The Garda horse units use Irish draught horses. The American fast food chains tend to use older structures.

As for Landrovers the Defender like its Series predecessor they were the go to choice in the ROI, UK and Italy for uniformed services for many years. They started off in the late 1940’s as a spin off product from the Rover car company to make a better version of the jeep which they did. The pre 2007 short wheel base could carry 7 people while the medium wheelbase pre 2007 can carry 9/10 people. The jeep and humvee only four people. As for sirens the classic Irish one is the British style two tone and they still retain that option far as I know. Dublin Fire Brigade until recently still had Dennis Sabres in frontline service. The RNLI still use Landrover Defenders and like the Mountain Rescue are mainly volunteer. The Garda cars that are white with the lime stripe are regular squad cars, battenburg is roads policing formerly the traffic corps and battenburg with red stripe is Armed Support Unit or ERU.

​@@OscarOSullivanThe 109"/110" Series / Defender could be had with up to 12 seats (tight fit). It was actually a tax dodge, in the UK it qualified as a "bus" and was thus exempt from a purchase tax on "cars". This backfired when the UK stopped handing out minibus licenses with car licenses and fewer people were licensed to drive them. Later Defenders were reduced to 7 seats in the long version and 5 iin the short. Double wheel vans also require a light truck license (C1) which stopped being given out with the car license. Now they just overload the single wheel ones...

We used to have a Lamborghini gallardo for high speed chases

That rosenbaur fire truck is almost certainly from an airport... They are highly specialised for fighting aircraft fires but not a huge amount of use for much else (other than something like a fuel tanker fire on the highway)

In the UK, i myself is from England but im sure its the same in Northern Ireland Scotland etc. I own an ex-ambulance Renault Master, still with the livery, not with the lights and sirens however, and i also own an ex-police Ford Focus Estate, just like your Crown Vic, its plain white for me. You can buy decommissioned emergency vehicles and it depends on the service if you still have the elements of the service, for example if you buy an ex-fire engine it’ll most likely still have lights, livery, sirens etc, and ambulances likely with just a livery, and police would have no livery nor lights/sirens. As for light types we have blue lights, orange lights, green lights, red lights, white lights Blue lit vehicles are typically the only vehicles with a siren and can legally swerve through traffic and speed. Orange lit vehicles are arguably the most dangerous, and depending on the service is what some orange lights mean, with the Highways Agency theyre used as more of a police-esque way and normally theyre just warning lights that there’s something that can potentially harm the public around. Green lights are typically for Doctor cars, and are usually used in conjunction with blue and red lights Red lights are used on most emergency vehicles and only in certain circumstances like pursuits, traffic stops, and if they’re blocking traffic. White lights im not sure on, they’re probably just for a variety purpose.
