Obviously they were misinformed on the address of the emergency. And FYI, Hatzolah doesn't only serve the "Hasidic" community. Hatzolah is a Jewish run non-profit first responder organization and they will respond to any emergency they receive, regardless of who is calling.

People playing emergency responder.... I read in this comment section that they were responding to "a" cardiac arrest... Do you really need 7 vehicles weaving through traffic, against traffic, U turns in a crowded street like that? 7 people! I got it. One to hold the victims head, 1 to hold each arm, 1 to hold each leg, 1 to give CPR, 1 to watch the patient be given CPR.. Like I said, to me, it's people playing emergency responder on very congested streets. Basically, It's all for show...

*Christmas tree with full siren appproaching* BMW Driver: I will pull into the intersection now. Edit: He didn't even have the green light when he cut off the approaching emergency vehicle... :|

No police official would dare to intervene or they'd be walking the beat on staten island. Mucho political influence at work here.

With all those many unusual cars, lighting and siren usage. That's madness. If I saw that I would think a terror suspect is being hunted by special forces lol.

I would have NEVER EXPECTED A HONDA ODYSSEY TO BE AN UNMARKED LOL GOOD CATCH!!

The story was..! The Queen's Hatzolah (EMS volunteer org.) recovered a phone call for an 'Cardiac Arrest' with an unknown exact location by the caller, so they send multiple units around the possible area to locate the exact address, at the end the caller connected the units by their sirens...

Tactical minivan

Wonder if they tried radioing in to tell dispatch not to send any more units after three of them arrived on scene.

THEY RESPOND TO 70,000 CALLS A YEAR AND YOU FOUND 1 MISTAKE!!!!!

looks like they got dispatched to the wrong address and i think this was for a code

1/2 Hi. I see from the messages that you guys don't know how Hatzolah operates... On a event like this eg. "Cardiac arrest" there will be several units responding. • 3 EMTs to rotate CPR (it's exhausting..) • 2 Paramedics • 1 unit to bring the ambulance • As well sometimes they can send a 3rd unit called a "Thumper unit" witch Carries a thumper machine witch dues CPR automatically and is very effective. Now the reason why they go in their own car, that's the whole point.... Basically Hatzolah opened in NYC where there is a very long wait time for FDNY EMS so what Hatzolah dues is they take random EMTs,paramedics, physicians, Etc. who have regular jobs and the one with the closest proximity will answer the call. How ever they are brilliant in response time! My nephew was chocking once in the lower East side of Manhattan and Hatzolah was there in literally 45 Seconds!!!!! This is unbelievable! I know that they get mandatory driving training once every month!

Looks like Metro State

This video was presented by Jeep. Only in a Jeep

what the fuck did I just watch. this got more ridiculous by the minute

WTF JUST HAPPEN? DID they do Wifi CPR?

Great catch! Pretty insane siren use. Good luck with your channel :)

That's the first. An unmarked minivan, and a Jeep. You don't see this lmao

They have record setting response times. Google it. If it's YOU or your loved one, you'd be glad they were driving like that in your direction.

I am a volunteer emt and fire fighter on Long Island and the cops would never let us run lights and sirens and red and blue lights in our POV we only are aloud a blue light. Nice to see the government playing favorites.

We have them in Sydney, they come under "Community First Responder" and are trained by the Ambulance Service of NSW. Other services also receive this training and act as community first responders in remote areas such as the rural fire service, state emergency service etc etc. In Sydney they are also used for non-jewish customers if there is no other ambulance around, that is part of being part of the community first responder program. So in Sydney they serve anyone in need.

Don’t understand the negativity towards Hatzolah/Hatzalah, I work in EMS and previously worked in law enforcement and we as professionals have worked alongside my local Hatzolah EMS volunteers since their inception. Let me tell you, no matter what they will drop whatever they’re doing and respond in mass, I’m talking 6-7 deep to a scene across town from where they live and be there within 5 minutes. That’s 6-7 EMTs and paramedics arriving on a scene in 5 minutes. The County EMS covers my suburb and takes 10 minutes on average to make scene. Hatzolah is an invaluable and remarkably dedicated group of people.

Those unmarked cars are mad nice

I’m not negative on hatzolah often but those guys are just sitting there blocking half the street

Maybe the most strange and also the coolest emergency response video I've ever seen. Simply stunning! :-) (I also have EMS videos just like Martin Piller, Czech man like me :-))

This is actually not as uncommon as ppl think. Where I live these people are the primary caregivers in our community. Volunteer emts and paramedics who drop what they are doing to help ppl they don't even know. My family is very involved as my father, uncles, and other relatives are members. Some do take it too far with the lights but it is for a good cause

Ok. I'm going to ask the really dumb question. I see all these povs making noise. Anyone bring the ambulance??

I believe Oregon State Police use the same van seen in this video. I have become afraid of Dodge Caravans, Chargers, Chevrolet pickups and anything that resembles a front bumper and spotlight. I pay too much car insurance.

So many stupid comments in here. If a private ambulance service is ok, then why is there problem with Hatzalah? Moreover, What is the problem with a company funded by donations and manned by volunteers? These are people volunteering their free time to save others (not only jews, if you wonder).

I drive through Boro Park every day and I see this regularly

When I heard that electromechanical Carson siren I thought my crew left without me

I have watched this video about 20 times, and the more I see it the more I'm impressed. I'm surprised how people disrespect someone saving their life. The reason so many people responded is because its "all hands on deck". If you worked in Manhattan and seen the EMS get stuck in traffic, you have to rely on anyone getting there. The people who are disrespecting these volunteers, God Bless their hearts. The funny part about the haters is, its not about the religion. Its about getting someone whomever to help save that persons life. Each year in the U.S., there are approximately 359,400 Emergency Medical Services (EMS)-assessed cardiac arrests outside of a hospital setting and on average, less than 10% of victims survive. Cardiac arrest affects people of all ages, but occurs more commonly in adults with prior heart disease. AED's ( automated external defibrillator) (AED), with CPR can more than double a victim’s chance of survival. I have seen a lot of incidents both in NY and Boston and all over. A lot of people don't want to get involved but it does not matter how many respond. They can show up dressed as Santa Claus or with a superman costume. If they save a life they are a hero. For people still disrespecting Hatzola and / or FDNY, believe me if it was your loved one or you who are in full arrest you would welcome anyone to help save your life. Finally, there response times are remarkable and they are on call and leave their jobs to respond. I would like you see this video of an ambulance stuck in traffic kzfaq.info/get/bejne/opmYgqWWttzHY4E.html or this video kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oNapgspy2Ju8lH0.html Ok this one is even better kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mNF6YK2knMzZn30.html Finally, For every minute that passes without CPR and defibrillation, however, the chances of survival decrease by 7-10%,

The way they approach this scene was poor tactics & not safe, isn't the goal to make way for the ambulance to reach the scene instead of blocking traffic on a busy road? definitely not smart. These guys need tons of training. An accident could've easily been created on this event. Nor does NYPD respond like this.. Incredible !!

I watched this 27 times and laugh every time. they kinda scared the New Yorkers like they were like wtf. Lol

Im confused why this private EMS agency needs 7 unmarked vehicles to respond for a medical aid

What a fucking disaster, remove their ability to operate emergency equipment, they have no idea what they are doing.

I dont get it,what exactly is happening here?Are they having an unmarked reunion?

I would love to be in traffic when they do that I wouldn’t move one 1 inch how the fuck is this legal

This madness happens every day in NYC, yet volunteers a stones throw away in NJ can't have more than one 'courtesy' light and have to obey all traffic laws. Go figure.

I was actually there and spoke to the organization... A person called in a heart attack on the street in that area.... It must have been a prankster that called due to them not finding any patient

Some of these Hatzolah's are not even legit. Last week I caught a privately owned vehicle with no EMT registrations and out of state Florida plates doing the same thing with lights in front back and side responding to "emergencies" in Kew Garden Hills. How tf is that even legal?

I'm only looking at that van

I don't know how they can get away with unmarked first responder vehicles

Fantastic video and units !!!

And all that drama for a circumcision gone wrong..

How are they dispatched? Do they assign POVs to a call or just anyone who is nearby can respond and practically flood the scene and become overkill/a hinderance?

Awesome!! video i never seeing this around here. Nice catch too

damn O_o ...thats alot of Grand Cherokees...throw one my way, leave the lights on it :D on another note tho, the seriously look like some anti-terror unit responding. shouldn't they have markings to defrientiate that they are Rescue personnel. it doesnt need to cover rhe whole vehicle. just like a logo or something

The cars and personnel operating them in this video are volunteer EMS personnel from Hatzbola ( prob spelled wrong,sry) Volunteer Ambulance service. I know they operate in Queens and Brooklyn, not sure about the other 3 boroughs. They're allowed by NYC law to have and use red,blue,and whatever other color lights and sirens installed in their personal vehicles. They must take and pass a EVOC ( Emergency Vehicle Operating Course). Some members respond with their vehicles to the scene while other member or members go to Quarters, get the bus and respond with that. I've seen them many times over the yrs responding with their personal cars to jobs and it does sound like WW3 has just begun. Their bus( ambulance) has multiple sirens and air horns like a Fire Truck. I give them credit for volunteering their time to help others in need, but they do need to b smart about their driving. The first couple on scene need 2 radio for the others to slow down when they aren't needed. Also blasting the sirens at all hours of the night isn't necessary either for most jobs unless some1 is bleeding out or in full arrest and likely. I was a volunteer FF for 10 yrs in Nassau County NY and we weren't allowed any sirens or red lights in our personal cars. We were allowed blue lights on the dash, but that isn't to go through red lights and disobey traffic laws, it's just a "courtesy light" for people in front of u to move to the right to let u pass. The only sirens in the volunteer Fire Departments are on the rigs and the Chiefs car, which is a marked car, usually a SUV.

Let's all remember, before negative comments are posted - these guys responded to 9/11 and offered assistance throughout, I'm sure countless lives were saved on that day by these volunteers risking their own life, if you have such a hatred towards them then I just hope you never have to call upon them yourself or for a family member!

Amazing and interesting !!!! :) What happened ?

They own New York

2:14 dame I was hoping to get a closer look at that Lexus IS350 rolling code!

These guys are like The Keystone Cops of EMS!

I cannot believe the traffic disaster they made just because they responded wrongly

Those are some sick POV Lights!!! They can respond Code 3 downtown in POVS?

I guess everyone who thinks he's important in NYC gets a sirene and blue red lights.

Hatzolah literally does whatever the fuck they want, not even the FDNY or NYPD fly through oncoming traffic like that. And who pulls on scene and blocks the entire roadway like that for an ems call I can understand for a fire or an active shooter/robbery situation but that was completely unnecessary.

I know im late, but what were they responding to?

I love the mini van with Christmas tree lights on it lol.

Why unmarked jeeps with lights for paramedics

Those Jeeps are looking very nice.

These hatzalah unmarked vehicles need 2 calm down the noise . Where's DOT ?

Dude that undercover van is awesome

How is this even legal and allowed? This is dangerous. And embarrassing.

Best part was when NYPD van DGAF about all this! 😂

So these volunteer EMS folks can just drive around NYC responding to calls in personal vehicles with lights and sirens?? I don't get it.

The best catch in Whole History

This is an old video so I doubt anyone will ever read/respond to my comment, but can someone tell me what the hell is going on in this video? Who are these guys, and what's happening?

I want an Atheist emergency service

I'm amazed you guys actually allow a group of privileged civilians to run ruff-shot over the city and be above the law like that. Simply amazing. Maybe the US isn't law and order like everyone thinks. What other county allows something this to happen?

THOSE ARE VERY LIKELY HATZOLAH! NICE CATCH! ;o)

This is very very rare

Epiccc lol we need more of this

I see a lot of Bob's Audio cars.

Is it a requirement to drive a jeep ?

I can't believe in this day and age they still allow that in NYC. Hell I live in a city of 32k and it's not allowed here.

Main ST Flushing @ the LIRR & #7 train & Public Library.

A car seems to have a flashe signal.

Now, just imagine if a group of black or hispanic people tried this in Harlem. Too much flexing makes people hate you.

Finally someone in NY responding to an emergency like they supposed to. Being from Europe it amazes me how other emergency vehicles in NY just sit in traffic jams. Look up Hungarian ambulance to see how it should be done :)

great work

Insane catches! Wow ... just wow ;o)

Hatzolah has received numerous awards for being the best volunteer EMS in New York. Ask any ER doc who the best is.

Insane i will say it again. Hatzolah has more PRIVATE Vehicles outfitted with light's that the FDNY. Does 1 Patient need this kind of response? In Pa we require blue light pernits for each piece of equipment. Unbelivable this traffic jam of wannabes.

Now I can’t tell if a car is a dt car or a regular cause they using some other shit

Thanks what was the incident here

i dnt understand how the jews got there own separate ems units that do bullshit like that

I didn't know some places in the world used Honda Odyssey's. What will they use next, Smart cars?

My guess as a firefighter of what happened, confusion on the address of the call or they are staging per NYPD as two other hatzalah vehicles went down a different street towards the end

This looks like it was a 1085 for nypd with the amount of coverage I see they all was moving in NYC that is all the time 1085 is high priority

Damn I little over board with the lights and sirens. You do that in Jersey you getting some nice tickets. Also I can’t believe they are allowed to put wig wags on their personal, another things illegal in Jersey.

Whats hatzolah? Never heard that.

Very wicked lights and sirens. Can someone tell me if they were NYPD and what was going on? Where they looking for someone? Are they counter terrorism bureau units? Etc.

awesome video

Do these guys only respond to Jewish people or do they respond to everyone in general?

how about someone bringing an ambulance, 4 1st responders and no ambulance

1:38 hatzolah responds on wrong side bus lane.

nice work work
