There are an estimated 40,000 to 50,000 ambulances in the United States.
Below you will find the sources of these figures:
According to an article in the New England Journal of Medicine "there
are more than 50000 ambulances staffed by paramedics and approximately
450000 ambulances staffed by EMTs in the United States."

ZOLL MEDICAL CORPORATION - 10-K Annual Report
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 approximately 80% of the
estimated 35,000 ambulances in the U.S. are equipped with
defibrillators. We believe that the number of ambulances equipped with
defibrillators will reach 100%, and that other first response
emergency vehicles will represent an increasingly important market for
cardiac resuscitation equipment as the medical community places
increased priority on providing such equipment and the necessary
training to all first responders. We believe that as older
defibrillators are replaced on ambulances and other emergency
vehicles, they will include additional monitoring capabilities and
features necessary to provide better patient care. We believe we are
well positioned to respond to these needs with superior products.?
