First Ambulance in Vancouver, 1892:

Vancouver was small, its scattered population about 15,000. In earliest days, injured or ailing were moved by boat, wheel barrow, express wagon or horse drawn cab. The City Hospital, a wooden building on Beatty Street, had fifty beds, St. Paul's on Burrard Street and St. Luke's, a private one on Powell, all wood buildings, provided more. Medical practitioners numbered about twenty-five.

The first ambulance, of simple design, was built by Thos. Lobb, horseshoer, blacksmith, who also repaired vehicles, and was drawn by one horse; painted white and adorned by two red crosses on each side. It was kept in a livery barn. Was built in a small board and batten building on Westminster Road, now Kingsway, a few yards from Westminster Avenue, now Main Street. Mr. Lobb's daughter, Mrs. Ray Mercer, Chilliwack, wrote 1965:- "It was built by my father and his workmen." This, the only known photograph, was presented by Mrs. Mercer through Reuben Hamilton. It was "gooseneck" to allow turning in narrow places.
