interesting to say the least

What is the difference between the equipment carried on Collapse 521 vs. Technical Rescue 525? Is 525 just high angle / CSR, or does it also carry collapse equipment? And do they both respond for trench or structural collapse runs? I assume they are both cross-manned by companies in those stations?
For Vac Truck 524, do they carry the attachments and hoses for the RescueVac on that rig, or are they carried on another unit? It looks like the FD took the water jet system off and replaced it with compartments under the body of the truck. The jetter reel, normally on the front of vac trucks, is also gone. Does FD SOC have a tool air compressor(s) on a rig or do they use a tow-behind? The RescueVac is normally used with an air knife to loosen and aerate the soil so it moves easier. Sorry if I'm being too technical with the questions...Just cool to see an FD with their own vac truck.
Thanks,
Gary
