Ambulance 1191 (?-?)

The first ambulance of modern design for URI, the department inherited this Type II van ambulance as a donation from a service in Connecticut. The van was eventually donated to the South Kingstown Police Department as a SWAT team vehicle when it was replaced.

 
 
 


Ambulance 1190 (pre-1985-?)

URICA 1190

This was the first ambulance operated by EMS. It was originally the ambulance operated by the URI Police Department until they ceased offering EMS services. This van was a converted utility van that barely functioned and was known to occasionally catch fire!

A station wagon used prior to the vans.
