Yesterday:

KB YesterdayK-B Ambulance Corps was organized in 1939 as an all volunteer corps serving the towns of Killingly and Brooklyn Connecticut. The original headquarters was established on Furnace Street in Danielson in the current location of The Imperial Room. The first service of its kind in Northeastern Connecticut, K-B Ambulance Corps is the primary emergency medical transport provider for the Town of Killingly.

Today:

KB TodayK-B Ambulance is a non-profit organization. We routinely assist other area services on a call-by-call basis as needed. With our three ambulances, we average 197 EMS calls a month. In 1980, K-B moved to its current location on Westcott Road, a former body shop retrofitted to meet the Corps needs. In the early 1990's, the town of Brooklyn formed its own ambulance service with the Mortlake Fire Company.
