| - An emergency medical service (abbreviated to initialism "EMS" in many countries) is a service providing out-of-hospital acute care and transport to definitive care, to patients with illnesses and injuries which the patient believes constitutes a medical emergency. The most common and recognized EMS type is an ambulance organization. In some places, an EMS organization may also be called a first aid squad, emergency squad, rescue squad, ambulance squad, ambulance service, ambulance corps or life squad. The aim of EMS is to provide treatment to those in need of urgent medical care, with the goal of either satisfactorily treating the malady, or arranging for timely removal of the patient to the next point of definitive care. This is most likely an emergency department at a hospital or another place where physicians are available. In some jurisdictions, EMS units may handle technical rescue operations such as extrication, water rescue, and search and rescue. In most places in the world, the EMS is summoned by members of the public (or other emergency services, businesses or authority) via an emergency telephone number which puts them in contact with the control center for the EMS, who will then dispatch a suitable resource to deal with the situation. Throughout the world, there are many differing qualification levels which may be held by members of an EMS, from drivers with no medical training, or a basic first aid certificate, to a fully qualified paramedic or physician.

The first building was released in 1980. 6364 Paramedic Unit contained a doctor's office and a car. 1981 brought two new ambulances and two helicopters. The next new sets were not released until 1987, when the new subtheme Emergency was introduced. It comprised only two sets. One of them being the first-ever LEGO System hospital. A rescue plane was released in 1988. Strangely, an ambulance set introduced in 1987 was not a part of Emergency but of Town. Until now, all these vehicles and facilities were labeled with the Red Cross. 6482 Rescue Helicopter was released in 1989, but didn't feature any logos. The only set released in the 1990s was an ambulance in 1994 which was the first set labeled with the blue Star of Life logo with the Rod of Asclepius in its centre which from now on all EMS sets would feature. The next new set was not released until 2005. Beginning in 2005 EMS sets were released as part of the City theme. Among the new sets were a new hospital, an ambulance, a rescue helicopter and a plane.
