Every year, El Cajon residents call 911 about 16,000 times. But officials say about a third of those calls aren’t true emergencies and don’t require ambulances and fire trucks. The city council voted unanimously last week to set aside $300,000 for a pilot program that would divert some emergency calls to nurses.
