Collapse rescue 3

[rdm258]

It seems that since FDNY has placed a collapse rescue unit in each borough that Collapse 3 doesn't get out as much as it did several years ago. Does it now just respond in the Bronx or still goes citywide? Just curious.

CR3 has the same response area as Rescue 3 now.  All of the collapse units carry basically the same tools.
