Lamar Ambulance Service, operating as part of the City of Lamar Fire Department since 1975, responds to an average of 1,000 medical calls annually, covering approximately 1,240 square miles. With a commitment to advancing medical technology, the service was among the first in eastern Colorado to utilize automated external defibrillators in the early 1990s, even demonstrating their effectiveness to then Colorado Governor Roy Romer. Additionally, the Lamar Ambulance Service became the first in southeastern Colorado to offer advanced life support at the EMT-Intermediate level in 1995, with certified EMT-Intermediates trained in Advanced Cardiac Life Support and Pediatric Advance Life Support techniques.
