The City of Escondido has entered into a partnership with North County Dispatch JPA to take over dispatching responsibilities for all Fire and EMS calls within the City limits and the Rincon Del Diablo Fire District.
What does this mean for our community?
• If you are experiencing a fire or medical emergency when you call 9-1-1 for help, your call will be transferred to a regional dispatch center staffed by NorthComm.
• North Comm will dispatch the CLOSEST resource to provide assistance. This may improve the response time in some cases.
• Our community will have a regional pool of resources if needed.
• As always, do not hesitate to call 9-1-1 for help when needed. The City’s outstanding dispatchers will connect you to the resources you need.
