Warwick EMS

Warwick EMS is an all volunteer ambulance corps located in Warwick, NY

In 1941 twenty three men took a series of First Aid courses with Dr. Harry C. Sayer as the instructor. The very first call was on June 24th 1942, by August of the same year the 22nd call was logged. In the same period in 2002 we responded to 221 calls. The first vehicle was a 1941 Buick, prior to the formation of the corps sick and injured people would find help from where ever they could.

The Warwick Community Ambulance Service was founded in 1942 to properly prepare and transport sick and injured patients from homes and accident scenes to hospitals. The area of service in 1942 was much larger then it is today and included Greenwood lake, Highland Lakes, Vernon, Florida, Pine Island, Chester, New Hampton, Upper Greenwood Lake, Greenwood lake and parts of Monroe. Citizens from surrounding towns were important members of the corps and often served as trustees. Early documentation about the corps is sparse but the number of calls has continued to grow even though our geographic area of coverage is now restricted to the Town of Warwick.
