WARSAW — Tri-County Ambulance Service announced today, Thursday, March 3, that the company would soon expand in the Warsaw area. A second paramedic ambulance will be staffed from the Warsaw station beginning in early April.

Both ambulances at their station, located at 2365 Shelby Drive, will be staffed 24/7 with paramedics. Tri-County credits this expansion to increasing run volumes and the overwhelming support of the local community.

Says Tyler Huffer, manager of Tri-County’s Warsaw operations, “We would like to thank the people of Warsaw and the Kosciusko County community overall for the outstanding support and open arms with which we have been welcomed. The Tri-County Ambulance team is dedicated to having the right resources in the right place at the right time.

“Tri-County is here as a second choice for ambulance transportation and is fully invested in the community. As a family owned company each person we care for is treated as part of our family,” said Huffer.

Tri-County has been working with the Kosciusko County Dispatch to better integrate into their 911 systems.

If you need an ambulance and want Tri-County to respond you can request Tri-County when you call 911 or you can call (888) 606-5050 (toll free.)

Tri-County is a family owned business that was started in 1999 by Todd and Lisa Rhoades. Tri-County has a staff of over 140 employees with 18 ambulances responding over 20,000 calls a year. Capable of both emergency and non-emergency medical transportation, Tri-County also does medical event standbys providing medical coverage for large gatherings and public events.
