Edmonson County Ambulance District

Edmonson County Ambulance District, doing business as Edmonson County Ambulance Service, is a local government entity based in Brownsville, Kentucky, that has been registered to receive federal awards since October 2011. As a county-level ambulance service provider, the organization delivers emergency medical services to the Edmonson County region and has established itself as a prime recipient of federal grant funding focused on enhancing emergency response capabilities and interoperable communications infrastructure.

The organization has received direct prime grant awards from the Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA) Financial Assistance Awards program, including the Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response (SAFER) program grant awarded on August 7, 2023, and an Assistance to Firefighters Grant awarded on September 27, 2025, with completion expected by September 26, 2027. Beyond these prime awards, Edmonson County Ambulance District has been a consistent sub-grantee under awards administered by the Kentucky Office of Homeland Security, receiving three separate sub-grants focused on critical emergency medical equipment and communications infrastructure. These sub-grants funded the acquisition of cardiac monitor defibrillators with 12-lead EKG capability (2022), video laryngoscopes and related medical equipment (2021), and mobile vehicle repeaters for P-25 interoperable communications enhancement (2023). Collectively, these federal grant awards demonstrate the organization's commitment to advancing emergency medical response infrastructure, modernizing field medical equipment, and improving interagency communications capabilities within the county's emergency services network.
