Summary
Models which consider a single homogeneous chemically equilibrated hadron gas have proved successful in reproducing available experimental particle production ratios. We consider an extension to these models to allow for the formation of multiple fragmented regions of gas of differing strangeness but with overall strangeness zero. We find that within the framework of our model, the formation of such regions is improbable.
