RED Center

From The RadioReference Wiki

Website - https://mabas3.org/about/regional-emergency-dispatch/


RED Center was formed in the 1970's and originally was housed at Niles Station 2 before moving to Glenview in the 1980's and finally to Northbrook a couple years ago. RED Center has added several departments in recent years and continues to add agencies. RED is also MABAS Division 3, and numbering of all Division 3 agencies is based on RED’s system. Division 3’s Back-up is NWCD, conversely RED is the back-up for Division 1.

Rig numbering in Division 3 follows RED's scheme of numbering stations and the rigs are numbered for the station they are housed in. Engine 1 would be from Station 1 etc. Administrative, utility and service vehicles and personnel ID with the first 1 or 2 digits indicating the station (thus the department) and the last 2 digits identifying the individual or vehicle. Chief's for example end in "00", thus 2900 would be Northfield's Fire Chief, 101 would be the Deputy Chief from North Maine.

See Radio Reference Cook County database page for current dispatch frequency information.
