Filmed in Hungary Hellboy II “The Golden Army.” a prop car from the 2008 film is used as an ambulance by the self-operated local rescue center in Fábiánsesbestyén, Magyar Narancs reports.

The Ford ambulance Guillermo del Toro and his crew brought it to the country as early as 2007, but after the filming in Tárnok, Sóskút and the Korda studio in Etyek, they did not bring it back to the United States, seeing it as easier to sell. The vehicle was purchased by the Csongrád county village representative body for HUF 3 million, but not to show it off as a movie relic. The car was equipped to be used as an ambulance.

Soon, the settlement of 2,000 people will also have to join the unified medical on-call system already introduced in several counties, which is expected to be introduced in the county from October. Thanks to the national reorganization, instead of the previous 17 kilometers, help will be able to come from even further away.

György Kósaccording to the village’s former family doctor and current mayor

death zone exists not only on Mount Everest, but also in time when providing assistance: resuscitation is possible within four or five minutes. The chance of survival of a rural person is not worsened by governments, but by distance.

For this very reason, they started a rescue center on their own initiative, where the volunteer fire department and the municipal police also operate, and the ambulance converted from the aforementioned utility vehicle is also on duty here. For urgent cases, a van obtained from Germany was previously used, but it was difficult to provide patient care in it, but the auxiliary vehicle came in handy for the village. The sixteen-person rescue team includes firefighters, doctors, nurses, sewage treatment and groundskeepers. More than once, human lives have been lost due to the fact that the ambulance was on the spot, and even the National Ambulance Service often counts on their help.

It has happened countless times that the rescue control in Szeged has called out that the car has started, but let’s go too, because it needs to be revived, and we will be there within five minutes

– said the mayor. Faragó M. Ferenc according to the deputy mayor, it is for this reason that the maintenance of the local rescue center will be even more justified after the introduction of the new on-call system.
