Lynch Ambulance Service provides non-emergency ambulance transport providing basic life support and critical care for patients in Hemet, California and Orange County, California.

Lynch Ambulance was founded in 1986. The founder, Walter Lynch Sr., recognized a need for prompt inter-facility transport of patients in the community and started the company with one goal in mind, to provide 24-hour caring service. This is now the company motto. Starting with one ambulance, and working from their home, Lynch Ambulance has grown to be the second-largest ambulance provider in Orange County. In 2002, Lynch Ambulance expanded it's operations into Riverside County.

Lynch Ambulance provides Basic Life-Support (BLS) and Critical Care Transport (CCT) to patinets in emergency and non-emergency situations.

In October 2007, Lynch Ambulance responded to a desperate call for help in San Diego County. Wildfires were burning large areas and medical facilities were being evacuated in the affected region. Lynch Ambulance sent 2 BLS Ambulance Strike Teams, (11 units total with 2 Strike Team Leaders) to assist in evacuation operations. The strike teams also took part in operations to re-patriate evacuated pateint to their home facilities after the fire danger had been abated.
