MABAS 90-90 Drill yesterday

MABAS-IL, in collaboration with the IAFC and DHS, recently conducted a large-scale multi-state MABAS response drill. The objective of the exercise was to mobilize at least 90 fire companies within 90 minutes at each of three designated reception sites in the Chicago metropolitan area. These locations included NIPSTA in Glenview, the Sears Center in Hoffman Estates, and the First Midwest Theater (formerly Tweeter) in Tinley Park. Each MABAS Task Force is composed of the following units: - 1 chief - 1 aid to the chief - 3 engines - 1 truck - 1 squad - 3 ambulances (either ALS or BLS, private or municipal) The task forces that participated were as follows: **North/NIPSTA:** 3, 4, 5, 8, 9, 20, 29, 101, 102, 107, 109 **West/Sears:** 1, 2, 6, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 17, 30, 104 **South/Tinley:** 7, 15, 19, 21, 22, 23, 24, 27, 207, 3501, 38/25 (two Illinois divisions combined) Notably, the 100-series divisions are from Wisconsin, the 200-series are from Indiana, and 3501 represents Michigan. Maps displaying the division locations can be found at: - [MABAS-IL Division Map](http://www.mabas-il.org/MabasDivisions/Pages/default.aspx) - [MABAS Wisconsin Map](http://www.mabaswisconsin.org/mabaswisconsinmap.html) One of the most significant moments during the drill was the staging of Task Force 109 (City of Milwaukee) alongside Task Force 9 (City of Chicago), marking the first time since the Great Chicago Fire that these two departments had their apparatus working together on the same incident. This summary was provided by Drew Smith, Deputy Chief of the Prospect Heights Fire Department. **The MABAS Press Release follows:** [Image: Press_release_08252010-1] [Image: Press_release_08252010-2] [Image: Press_release_08252010-3]

Galvanized Steel Sheet

Galvanized Steel Sheet & Plates, are intended for use where greater corrosion protection is required without painting. A lower cost alternative to stainless steel, galvanized sheet and plates have a rust free protection for up to 30 years, while maintaining strength with a durable surface coating. Our company stocks many sizes in precut sizes, full mill sizes or we can hot dip virtually any size and quantity required for your welding or construction project.

Galvanized steel Sheet coil has a light weight, beautiful and good anti-corrosion performance, can be directly processed. Is mainly used in construction, shipbuilding, automobile manufacturing, machinery manufacturing, furniture home appliance industry, electrical and automation industry. Efficient construction, save energy and protectenvironment, prevent pollution etc.

Hot-dip Galvanized Steel Sheet
Hot-dip galvanized sheet is made by immersing the steel sheet in a molten zinc bath at about 500 °C to attach a zinc layer to the surface. This is the continuous galvanizing process. It will form a protective zinc layer on the surface so that it has good paint adhesion and weldability. It is the most widely used and cost-effective method to prolong the service life of steel sheets.
Electro-galvanized Steel Sheet
Electro-galvanizing, also known as cold galvanizing, uses electrolysis to form a uniform and dense layer on the surface of the metal. The anti-corrosion zinc layer can protect steel parts from oxidation corrosion. Also, it can meet decorative purposes. But the zinc layer of the electro-galvanizing steel sheet is only 5-30 g/m2. So its corrosion resistance is not as good as hot-dip galvanized sheets.
