The Laurel Volunteer Ambulance Service was started by private citizens of our community that saw a need for emergency medical service.  The City began funding the ambulance service in 1976.  It has been run by volunteers that have unselfishly given many hours of service to this community and the surrounding area.

The Laurel Volunteer Ambulance Service is located in the Safety Complex.  The Safety Complex also houses the Police Department and the Fire Department.

Currently, the Laurel Volunteer Ambulance Service has 18 Nationally Registered Emergency Medical Technicians that volunteer their time to answer every emergency medical call that comes in.  All EMT’s must obtain 48 hours of continuing education and attend a 24-hour refresher course every two years to keep their license.  This way, they are able to keep up with all the changes in pre-hospital emergency care.  The City of Laurel has two fully-equipped ambulances ready to roll as soon as an emergency call comes in.  Each ambulance carries an Automatic External Defibrillator.

We welcome tour groups or anyone just wanting to see our facility.
