Jaffrey-Rindge Memorial Ambulance began as the Jaffrey VFW Memorial Ambulance in 1948. Jaffrey VFW Post 5613 sponsored a drive to raise money to purchase and outfit a modern ambulance. The service relied on local volunteers to provide emergency care and transport to residents until 2004. Between 2004-2005 the service transitioned to a paid service and began employing per-diem and on-call members.
