The Spartan USAR rig is still at 103s. Last time I saw it, it was designated Collapse 103. In talking to the guys at 103’s they said they keep the collapse equipment as well as some USAR tools on the truck. In the event of a major emergency, they can recall some USAR firefighters and pair it up with another engine company to make another USAR resource available.

It's mostly just used as a reserve USAR now either when the the frontline goes out of service or as Jack mentioned can be manned by a recall crew.
