In MABAS Division 10, the Darien-Woodridge Fire Protection District has three stations. This is an E-ONE department dating back many years. They currently have an E-ONE quint, three E-ONE engines, and two E-ONE ambulances. This department used to have lime green apparatus with white roofs and has transitioned to replace the green with red over the past several years. There are two vehicles left with the original color scheme.
Their district includes parts of Darien and Woodridge as well as the unincorporated areas of Downers Grove and some of unincorporated Westmont. They are staffed with both full-time and part-time personnel, and in 2009, they ran 2,450 total runs.
Darien-Woodridge Station 1 is also home to the Southwest United FIre Districts Fire Training Academy which has three rigs of their own.

The new addition of the Rosemont Public Safety Department to Division 1 now signifies that all Division 1 departments have been added to this site … with some degree of completion.
Rosemont occupies 2 stations: Sta1 is for Fire Suppression Companies and Sta2 is for EMS units. They have 5 ambulances in Station 2; #s 167 & 168 are staffed full-time by contract medics and the other 3 units are staffed for large events at the arena.
Rosemont public safety officers are cross-trained as police officers and firefighters and are required to spend time fulfilling both jobs. A rather unique aspect of all Rosemont fire apparatus is that they are equipped with gun lockers to secure the firearms of officers while performing firefighting functions.
