@MrBrown:
Well, I have to admit, I have never been to Oktoberfest :unsure:
Shame on me....
As for your question:
Yes, NEFs are automatically dispatched to certain emergencies as you've already guessed above. There are certain lists according to which dispatchers send the adequate vehicles.
@all:
BTW: We distiguish between three types of EMS vehicles:
NEF (Notarzt-Einsatz-Fahrzeug): doctor's response vehicle
RTW (Rettungs-Transport-Wagen): ALS unit w/1 Rettungsassistent minimum
KTW (Kranken-Transport-Wagen): BLS unit (transport and minor stuff)
In some areas there is also the NAW (Notarzt-Wagen) which is basically an ALS box ambulance with a doctor on board. Some counties have special pediatric NAWs with a pediatrician or neonatologist on board.
