About Us

Trumbull Emergency Medical Services Paramedic Vehicle

Trumbull Emergency Medical Services (EMS) was established in 1976 and was the first freestanding EMS facility in the United States. “Neighbors Helping Neighbors” has been the driving force throughout the history of the organization, and that same motto remains true today. Trumbull EMS is dedicated to providing the highest level of pre-hospital care to ensure the health, safety and well-being of our residents and neighbors.
