New Carlisle ran its own ambulance as a town department before the territory folded it into one service. The council record opens the course in August 2011, when Ken Davis reported Olive Township's approval of a fourth EMT hire; Jamie Middlebrook was the ambulance department's assistant chief at his death in 2014, employed through the town; an ambulance-fee ordinance (No. 1339) was before the Council in January 2017; and Josh Schweizer carried the EMS chief's title alongside his fire posts in 2018. In the territory era the service prints whole in the town's own statement: the New Carlisle Emergency Medical Services Department runs two fully equipped ambulances, all firefighters are EMTs, one paramedic is on duty at all times, and the department describes its response as "All Hazard Fire responses, as well as Advanced Life Support Ambulance responses." The ambulance department's founding and its first chiefs before Davis are a named gap (GAP-NC3-FIRE-4), settler the town's minute books of the 1970s–90s.
