  5. How did we get here? • After the Great Chicago Fire of 1871 the Chicago Fire Department divided into 18 Battalion Districts • Companies relocated to provide coverage when call volumes were higher • In 1968 Elk Grove Village modified Chicago’s box alarm system for Northwest suburban use

  6. Where are we now? • MABAS consists of 1000 of Illinois’ 1200 Fire Departments organized within 68 MABAS Divisions • 30,000 of Illinois’ 35,000 fire fighters are members • 134 Dispatch Centers • Expanded to Wisconsin, Missouri Iowa, Indiana and Kentucky

  7. Where are we now? • 80/20 Rule: • Departments are still required to maintain capability to respond to routine emergencies on their community • Departments should leave 80% of their equipment in their normal response area • Departments should only commit 20% of their resources to any given MABAS request

  8. Box Card • Individually set up by each department • Can be set up for structure fire, tenders, brush truck, special rescue, target hazards • Can be assigned to special circumstances or geographical location
