Why is emergency service different in Backcountry San Diego?
Backcountry emergency service in Julian, Alpine, and Descanso involves the longest response distances in the county, and a heat pump failure during a winter cold snap in these communities has more serious consequences than a summer failure at the coast. Dispatching a crew to backcountry locations requires additional travel time, and homeowners in these areas should factor this into their planning for heating season.
