Hello again Crystal4290,

There are an estimated 35,000 to 45,000 ambulances in the United States.
Below you will find the sources of these figures:

35,000 ambulances 

?We believe the opportunity for growth in the under penetrated
pre-hospital market encompassing public safety responders and vehicles
is large. Presently, we believe that less than 70% of the estimated
35,000 ambulances in the United States are equipped with
defibrillators.?

1,000 other hospitals, 45,000 ambulances 75,000 fire department-based
vehicles, 260,000 police vehicles, 190,000 allied medical sites as
well as 290,000 first responder sites.?
