OUR HISTORY
Founded
On June 24, 1972 at 12 noon Ron Aliano opened the doors to American Ambulance Service, Inc. with two used ambulances and a small team of Emergency Medical Technicians, including himself, to serve Norwich, CT. The operation actually started operating out of his Cedar Street apartment while renovations to a home near a local service station, located across from the East Great Plains Fire Department, took place.

On July 11, 1996 American Professional Educational Services was created to meet the demands of CPR education in the community.
Tribal Nation Contract
In July 1998 we became the contracted ambulance provider for the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation and Foxwoods Resort Casino.
MACARA Vehicle Services is Born

Battenburg Livery
In 2010 we were the first service to introduce “Battenburg Livery” as a safety standard in our vehicle design. This was the first time we ever varied from the federal standards of vehicle design.
