Anyone else hearing more ambulance sirens at the moment?

[Smithtylater]

Or is it just me?
Or maybe i just never noticed them as much before...finding it rather unsettling...

Yes I thought this today, noticed loads going past my office with sirens on. Definitely more than normal.

Loads going past our house at the moment (we live opposite a through road in the centre of a town). I felt the same, couldn't tell if I was just noticing them more! But there were 5 today.

Because the call rate has shot up.

Mostly the worried well.

Nope and I live near an ambulance station

The reverse, we have many fewer than we used to, possibly because living near a main road towards an airport there is less traffic at the moment so the ambulances etc can get through without sirens.

Yes, I have. I’m in greater London.

There was in London

No and I live near a hospital in a city... less if anything!

I live fairly near an ambulance station and hear them all the time. I can;t say Ive heard anymore than usual.

I'm in scotland and thought this also but it could be I'm just noticing it and it is a bit quieter than usual so I'm perhaps hearing from further away? I also know two people who have died fron pneumonia in the past two weeks both elderly and ill but it makes you think.

Yes! I just said that to DH, it’s very noticeable

central london - fewer sirens than normal!

Less round here and I live round the corner from the hospital. Walked past it earlier and there were only 2 ambulances outside too and thays pretty unusual, it often has long lines of them queuing outside.

Personally no but my area is one of the last to be hit. This time next week I imagine things will be different.

Yes!!! 3 in my street today, all at different houses and at different times...no blue lights though.

In London. Yes lots more sirens and has been for about a week now.

I live on a main road and there's usually quite a few sirens going past, but I've heard fewer in the last week.

No.

Nope

No, I havent. I live a ten minute walk from our hospital, in the main road and I'm used to hearing blues and twos. I've really not noticed any increase.

I'd say less tbh, and my house is between 2 main roads, near the fire station where the responders are based and the hospital

Am in Oxford and yes - loads more!

Less, and I live near to an ambulance station on a busy main road close to a massive hospital.

I thought this too, but wasn't sure if I was just being paranoid

Greater London tbh there’s always loads of bloody sirens both where I live & work.

I have noticed quite a few ambulances attending homes near me though, that has felt more than usual, but perhaps it’s just confirmation bias that we notice things more at the moment.
