Several Prague emergency services on scene of a motor vehicle accident involving a tram and a police motorcycle.
Have to mention something pretty ridiculous at this point: The regular Prague Fire Department engine (which is housed 1 minute away from the scene) did respond to this call but did nothing on scene. The accident involved a tram so they handed the call over to the Prague Public Transit Fire Department which rolled in with another engine plus a command van code 3 after 10 minutes. On scene they were just cleaning up a few liquids and left after 10 more minutes.
This is a jurisdictional thing but it's just amazing to see how they bend 2 engines and even a command van to one very simple call.. what a waste of money.
