- Ocotillo Wells Rangers have 24-hour emergency dispatch from the Imperial County Sheriffs Department. The phone number is 800-452-2051. Because this area is so remote, dialing this number directly is often the fastest way to get help. However, dialing 911 or Operator will also bring emergency assistance. There is a public pay phone at the Ranger Station.
