In MABAS Division 21, the Chicago Ridge Fire Department has been added to the site. The department operates two stations. One is staffed by career firefighters and the other by paid-on-call volunteers.
They run with a mixture of apparatus including an E-ONE tower ladder, engines from Pierce, Luverne, and E-ONE, plus ambulances from Road Rescue and Aurora Truck Body.
