Falck bought its first ambulance in 1907, and this ambulance was the first automobile ambulance in Scandinavia. Today, Falck provides 85% of all Danish ambulance operations. In the 1990s, Falck ambulances were put into operation in Poland and Sweden, and after the turn of the millennium also in a number of other European countries. In 2006, Falck became the largest ambulance company in Slovakia via an invitation for tenders for Slovakian ambulance services. Since 2010, Falck has been operating ambulances in USA, and in 2011, Falck established itself in six Latin American countries followed by Sri Lanka in 2012.
In 1922, Falck became a fire service and soon Falck’s fire brigades fought fires in most of Denmark. Today Falck provides fire fighting services in two thirds of the Danish municipalities, closely cooperating with the authorities. Since 2010, Falck has offered fire services outside of Denmark and obtained contracts in Brazil, the Netherlands, Romania, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden and United Kingdom.
