It is unusual to find a Collapse Support Unit on a fireground.
One of Rescue Squad 3’s collateral duties is to respond with the squad wagon and two other support vehicles when it runs structural collapses. They had returned from a frame church that collapsed totally at 43rd St. and Sheriff Rd. NE and were responding to roof collapse at 12th and Florida Ave. NW when they came across a house fire in the 1300 block of T St. SE.
