The Odebolt Unit 81-44, Sac County Ambulance was started July 6, 1978.  The first ambulance was donated to the service by Marvin and Margaret Stock in 1981.  In the fall of 1995, this ambulance was given to the Odebolt Fire Department and the county purchased a 1994 Ford modular ambulance for Odebolt.  The county-owned vehicle is housed in a city-owned building which was remodeled in the spring of 2001, adding much needed space.

The Odebolt United is a "Provisional-I" service and the Life-Pak 300 defibrillator is used.  Squad members are on call for twelve hour shifts; each shift has three persons on call at one time.
