Based in Ruston, Louisiana, Pafford Emergency Medical Services operates as a private ambulance service with an in-house clinical air division, Pafford Air One, and is regarded as one of the United States' oldest and largest private ambulance providers. It maintains a sizable fleet that includes ground ambulances, specialty care transport units, and multiple aircraft to support pre-hospital and critical care transport. With a history spanning more than five decades, the organization serves several Louisiana parishes—Bienville, Claiborne, Lincoln, Union and Webster—and nearby counties and communities. In addition to transport services, Pafford EMS provides EMS dispatch and staffing for EMTs and paramedics, supporting public safety and emergency medical care delivery. A recent development is that in 2025 the Rapides Parish Police Jury named Pafford EMS the sole ambulance provider for Rapides Parish, signaling an expansion of its service footprint.
