Correction, the XR units still respond to Segment 1 assignments, i.e. arrests, chokes, etc.

They responded with rescue or when special called, at fires they're only to treat critical patients and firefighters. There is no talk of having them ride on the rigs, but XR1 and XR3 have been going inside the houses.

My understanding is the only rescue medic not attached to a rescue company is X10, which is due to it being part of the original PRU program. ALS RESCUE Manhattan: XR1 X10 Bronx: XR3 Brooklyn: XR2 Queens: XR4 Richmond: XR5
