Munster joined MABAS Div 24 years ago after they had a large fire on Ridge Road and the Div 24 (at the time the 3rd district) showed how they could get lots of help in a hurry through their system. Since that time others in Indiana have now come on board with a division but Munster has stayed with Div 24.

So, why is Munster the only Indiana fire department assigned to a Chicago area Illinois MABAS division? Does it also mean that Hammond and Gary are not on the MABAS cards for Munster?
Thank you in advance for any responses.

Our new engine is not a Spartan Gladiator. Its a Spartan Metro Star. There is a difference
