We are also part of the MABAS Division 21 Mutual Aid Response System. The Bedford Park Fire Department also responds as the primary Haz-Mat unit in the southwest suburbs and we are part of the Statewide Response Plan.

Our Fire Prevention Bureau conducts fire investigations and ensures fire prevention requirements are abided by. We are the 49^th community in the state to require sprinklers in all commercial buildings. We became the 28^th community in the state to require sprinklers in all new residential construction. This important code was passed for the welfare of our citizens and firefighters.
