ECNS Right Care Right Time
Not every 9-1-1 call warrants a lights and sirens response. San Bernardino County has launched the Emergency Communications Nurse System (ECNS) where dispatch operators work alongside trained registered nurses stationed in the County’s 9-1-1 call center network to quickly assess the level of response required for medical calls received. The Emergency Nurse Communication System (ECNS) is an innovative program to help you get the #RightCare at the #RightTime when you call 9-1-1. The Rancho Cucamonga Fire District is working with CONFIRE and San Bernardino County Transportation Authority - SBCTA to introduce ECNS.
