Update March 2015: Ambulance services have been recently extended at both east and west ends of Bermuda.

Earlier ambulance could be dispatched only from the main hospital at Paget. Now ambulances are also stationed at Clearwater fire station at St. David's at the eastern end and Port Royal fire station at the western part. This will significantly help in cutting short transit time for patients at both ends. To call ambulance, dial 911.
