Echo Hose Ambulance is a not for profit, emergency ambulance provider for the City of Shelton, Connecticut. Established in 1949, and originally part of the Shelton Fire Department, the advent of modern emergency medical service established the ambulance corps as an individual entity within the Shelton public safety system. As Shelton’s needs have evolved, so too has the scope of Echo Hose Ambulance. The ambulance service responds to approximately 6,000 emergency incidents each year.
Echo Hose Ambulance is committed to patient healthcare service delivery, expanding the horizons of community knowledge through layperson medical education and health advocacy, educating emergency personnel, and providing an enjoyable, welcoming environment for its volunteers and staff.
