PrideStar Trinity EMS announced today that it has donated two ambulances to US Ambulances for Ukraine, an Illinois-based organization dedicated to sending used American ambulances and fire engines to Ukraine. These vehicles are being sent to replace emergency units that have been destroyed during the ongoing Russian invasion.

Toward the end of November, the ambulances will be trucked to US Ambulances for Ukraine’s storage facility in New Jersey. Once there, they will be stocked with additional medical supplies before being shipped directly to Ukraine via roll-on-roll-off ship and turned over to Ukrainian first responders. Our ambulances where packed away in a shipping container and came through the Odesa Sea Port in Ukraine. Currently, one of our ambulances is in Luhansk and the other is in Lviv, Ukraine

“As EMS professionals, we understand the critical role these vehicles play in saving lives every day,” said David Daly, President & CEO of PrideStar Trinity EMS. “When we learned about this initiative, we knew we had to step up and help. Our hope is that these ambulances will provide vital support to the brave emergency responders in Ukraine who continue to serve their communities under unimaginable conditions.”

This donation will be part of a larger shipment of fire engines and ambulances from the east coast scheduled to be shipped for November and arriving in late December. To date, US Ambulances for Ukraine has delivered 78 ambulances and 11 fire engines and multiple law enforcement and fire SUVs now operating in Ukraine. These vehicles have been distributed to frontline military units, fire departments, NGOs, hospitals, and other Ukrainian entities in urgent need of lifesaving transportation.

“It is amazing to think that we have hit over 100 vehicles in Ukraine by December, with more already lined up for the next shipment,” said Chris Manson, founder of US Ambulances for Ukraine. “It is because of donors like PrideStar Trinity EMS that we can continue this mission. Their generous contribution of two ambulances will be immediately put to use saving lives in Ukraine.”

This will be the twentieth shipment of used emergency vehicles sent to Ukraine from the United States since the effort began in March 2022.
