Bancroft Community Ambulance History

(Taken from "1881 Bancroft Centennial” published by the Bancroft Centennial Celebration Committee)

When the Garry Funeral Home discontinued their ambulance service in 1976 due to stringent state requirements, it was decided to seek contributions, buy a new well-equipped up-to-date ambulance and have a trained crew to answer calls for Bancroft, the surrounding communities and adjacent rural areas. 

Several fund raising projects were held and contributions were solicited.  The response was very good and an ambulance fun of over $30,000 was raised.  The Iowa Lakes Community College set up a program for an Emergency Medical Technician course to train personnel.  The course required 120 hours of class including in-hospital training and the trainees received college credit.
