Support Lyme Ambulance

Your membership and contributions allow us to provide ambulance service at no charge for residents of Lyme and some in East Haddam who live within a catchment area adjoining Hadlyme. The cost of operating this all-volunteer service is approximately $50,000/year, exclusive of the cost of replacing an ambulance. While the town of Lyme generously allows us to garage the ambulances in our fire stations and supplies the fuel to run them, the ambulances and maintenance, as well as training, insurance, equipment, and all supplies are all provided by funds received from annual memberships and through donations of our supporters.
