MABAS-IL, in partnership with the IAFC and DHS, recently conducted a multi-state MABAS response drill aimed at testing the rapid deployment capabilities of emergency services. The objective was to assemble a minimum of 90 fire companies within 90 minutes at each of three designated reception sites in the Chicago metropolitan area. These locations included NIPSTA in Glenview, the Sears Center in Hoffman Estates, and the First Midwest Theater (formerly Tweeter) in Tinley Park.
Each MABAS Task Force is composed of:
- 1 chief
- 1 aid to the chief
- 3 engines
- 1 truck
- 1 squad
- 3 ambulances (ALS or BLS, either private or municipal)
The task forces deployed across the three sites were as follows:
**North/NIPSTA:** 3, 4, 5, 8, 9, 20, 29, 101, 102, 107, 109
**West/Sears:** 1, 2, 6, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 17, 30, 104
**South/Tinley:** 7, 15, 19, 21, 22, 23, 24, 27, 207, 3501, 38/25 (two IL divisions combined)
Notably, the 100-series divisions are from Wisconsin, the 200-series are from Indiana, and 3501 is from Michigan.

One of the highlights of the drill was the staging of Task Force 109 (City of Milwaukee) alongside Task Force 9 (City of Chicago), marking the first time since the Great Chicago Fire that both departments had their apparatus working together on the same incident.
This synopsis was provided by Drew Smith, Deputy Chief of the Prospect Heights Fire Department.
