Alert Ambulance

Paramedic Systems was incorporated in the State of Rhode Island in 1986. In February of 1989 PSI purchased Alert Ambulance Service, of Fairhaven, Massachusetts. Alert was a small company of four vehicles, and twelve employees. During the past sixteen years Alert Ambulance Service has grown to include a corporate headquarters located in Fall River, Massachusetts and ten satellite locations across Massachusetts and Rhode Island. The Fall River location was opened in 1989, and began providing 24-hour seven day a week coverage to Rhode Island and Massachusetts. This location provides both advanced and basic life support ambulance transportation. In 1991, Alert purchased its first wheel chair van, and the Alert Chair Car Division was created. Also in 1991, John Moss became the sole owner and president of Alert/PSI. In 1992, a location was opened in Cranston, R.I. with a Wakefield, RI location following in 1995. The additional acquisition of Ocean State Ambulance in 1995 allowed Alert Ambulance to provide the South County area of Rhode Island with 24-hour advanced life support coverage. The purchase of Medi-Coach wheel chair van service in 1997 allowed for expanded chair-car service in the southeastern Massachusetts area.
