These units are going to replace the Ryder trucks.........I think they would ideally like to have a collapse rig in each borough.

Last I heard it was going to be one for Each Boro except SI.

Rescue 3 keeps the one they have.

Rescue 1/Ladder 25 gets a new one

Rescue 2 gets a new one.

Rescue 4 gets a new one.

If you look at the site, it shows three rigs being built.

Just an FYI, R-2 has theirs quartered with Ladder 132. R-4 will be getting one. They don't have one right now. R-5 is a Haz Mat Tech Unit.

Just curious if anyone knows if Rescue 3 will still run citywide with there collapse unit??

[JBE 328]

As it stands right now, they pretty much run citywide. With Rescue 1 responding with their collapse unit to certain spots. I have to refresh my memory with the response matrix. I figure once all three are delivered, it'll be Rescue 1 covering Manhattan and maybe some parts of Queens with R-4 backing them up. R-3 gets Manhattan above 125th street and the Bronx with R-1 backing them up. R-4 getting the rest of Queens with the other rescues backing them up. R-2 Brooklyn and SI with R-1 and R-4 backing them up.

There is this whole Rescue Collapse Task Force thing that came out last year when R-6 was in service. Not sure how much of it has changed since R-6 went bye bye.

Rescue 2's collapse unit was re-located from E280, L132 and is now running out of L25 in Manhattan as Collapse Rescue 1 last time I seen it. At the same time......Rescue 3's collapse unit was designated as Collapse Rescue 3.
