History
Tuolumne County Ambulance Service became part of the Human Services Agency in July 1986, taking over operation of the Pinecrest ambulance service. In April of 1987, the Agency added ambulance services for the rest of the county. Currently, there are five ambulances available 24/7, stationed in Sonora, East Sonora, Mono Vista, and Groveland. A reserve fleet of five ambulances is used for non-emergency transfers, fire standby and special events, and can be called into active duty during periods of high call volume.
