Call 9.1.1 ! + Short translation of the swiss video

Recommended Posts

Well I figured Swiss would be good enough, someone would figure out what I meant XD

I figured it was french, had the ring to it, but it's Swiss French, and I don't care what anyone says, each place has their own distinct version of their language that adds a certain ring to it... After all "Newfie English" (AKA Newfinese) is much different from English used in say New York. Essentially it's still the same language, but there are words and phrases used that no one else would understand.. You might notice that in my posts sometimes :P

Either way, my french isn't perfect and I don't think I'd be able to figure it out very well, I'd much rather be lazy and read it :)

"but you're canadun and all canaduns spek Franch." Derp

Ever been to the French - German border? Don't, because they speak both languages together. It's so confusing :P

I once tried to translate it, but didn't get very far. It's rather hard IMO. All I know is that there's a bit about calling 118 incase you flip, and write 118 in your underwear...

It was made by Swiss emergency services because people always called them for everything.

(just expanding on this) The directory service number was changed in switzerland to a number close to 118 - for the fire brigade. The Swiss government did little to advertise the change. To make matters worse, the French directory service is 118. The fire service were receiving an average of 20 calls a day asking for non fire related things, and the fire service was worried this would cause deaths.

That's the story of a phone number : THE 118

Let the whole world confused with the information

Where everyone was calling to ask questions !

HEY MAN ! You dont understand that there wasn't an agence ? BUT A FU*KING EMERGENCY CENTER

You didn't received that the 111 that was finished ?

Because of you public who is always searching lots of phone numbers

No Mrs you are mistaken

118 that the number you have to call fast

The 1.1.8 , number to remember

118 , to call when you expect the the worst

The 1.1.8 , can you remember that ???

118 ,you've got to do a tattoo

The 1.1.8 , when you are afraid

Write It in your underwear...

Made me think of this fire dept. rap:

It was made by Swiss emergency services because people always called them for everything.

Woah woah woah, at 58 seconds if you look at the left dispatcher's top computer screen... It looks strangly like the EM2 base screen... I think it's actually a traffic cam but still.

Do FDNY Paramedics really wear bulletproof vests?

Thats actually available as an Accessory Carrier vest only, or as an Accessory Carrier with Ballistic panels. But yes, any big city EMS/Fire service has vests available to their personnel, whether or not their required to be worn depends on the protocols of each respective department.

Even my FD has 4 vests available if needed, however I find it funny that they are a bright blue color and make you a better target if they were ever needed lol
