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.
