Emergency
Falck is the largest private ambulance company in Europe and the largest private fire fighting service in the world. The ambulance service, fire fighting activities and patient transport are organised in our Emergency business area.
Falck provides ambulance services to the general public in seven countries in close collaboration with the authorities. As the only cross-border ambulance company in Europe, Falck has more than 900 ambulances which respond to as many as one million emergency calls each year: people who are critically ill, women in labour and accident victims. Falck also participates in a large number of other prehospital schemes with doctors’ cars, emergency cars and emergency helicopters.
The activities of the Emergency business have secured Falck its current position as one of the foremost guarantors of reliable and competent assistance in emergency situations.
Falck bought its first ambulance in 1908, and this ambulance was the first automobile ambulance in Scandinavia. Today, Falck provides 85% of all Danish ambulance operations. In the 1990s, Falck ambulances were put into operation in Sweden and Poland, and after the turn of the millennium also in Belgium, Norway and Finland. In 2006, Falck became the largest ambulance company in Slovakia via an invitation for tenders for Slovakian ambulance services.
