Serving the Communities of Apple Valley, Lakeville and Farmington, Minnesota

Welcome to the ALF Ambulance web site.

ALF Ambulance is a municipal based advanced life support ambulance service operating under a Joint Powers Agreement and serving the cities of Apple Valley, Lakeville and Farmington in Dakota County, Minnesota. In addition to the three cities, ALF provides ambulance service on a contractual basis to the surrounding townships of Castle Rock, Empire and Eureka. The total service area is approximately 160 square miles with a population over 125,000.

ALF Ambulance is governed by an Operating Board that consists of an elected City Council member from each of the member cities. The Operating Board makes major policy decisions regarding the service.  The Executive Management Committee was created in 2002 to manage the operation of the service.  The EMC consists of the three City Administrators plus a department head from each City. Daily operational decisions are made by the Ambulance Administrator and Supervisors.
