Ambulance
The first ambulances were used on battlefields. They were carts pulled by horses that were used to take wounded soldiers to field hospitals. Horse-drawn ambulances were common in Europe and North America in the 19th century. Automobiles replaced horses in the early 1900s. Modern ambulances have equipment that help them deal with many situations. They can provide first aid or other emergency care. Ambulances and other medical vehicles have lights, sirens and horns to warn people that ambulance is coming down the road. Ambulances normally have Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs) or Paramedics working in them.
