I have a question. The two new Ferrara/Spartan Collapse Rescue rigs, number 3 and 5. Does this mean Staten Island is getting a collapse rig, and is Rescue 3's Collapse rig, the 1995 Supervac being replaced?

Thanks in advance.

Yes, Rescue-3's T/T is being replaced, as is R-5's Collapse piece (they are running the old worn-out Mack/Saulsbury, ExR-2)

CUT BACKS AND FIREHOUSE CLOSINGS EVEN BACK THEN...

ESU used the trucks as Manpower Units. The ESU started from what was called the MACHINE GUN SQUAD. THey would respond with manpower and handle assist with calls like collapses at the time.

The rig that was given to the NYPD was used by rescue 1 and when it was placed o/o/s is was then given to the PD for the making of the ESU team.
