Refernce to Hartford, was there ever 2 TAC Co.'s in service at the same time? Or was it simply a station move of the 1 company? I ask because of TAC1 and the older TAC2 designations.
Also, any idea what Hartford Co.'s have been closed over the past few years?
Thanks in advance.

According to a roster I have from 1988 or so: Tac 1 was quartered with E8 at Park and Affleck. Tac 2 was quartered with E2 and L3 at Main and Belden.

Dave is correct. somewhere around 1996, Tac-2 was disbanded and Tac-1 was replaced with a 1996 Mack MR/ Saulsbury. it then became known as "the Tac" although the official designation is still Tac-1 and is currently a 2006 Ferrara heavy rescue.
in the last 20 years or so, District 3, Engine 4, Ladder 1 and Tac-2 have all been disbanded. however, i recent times (with the new chief) D-3 has gone back on line.
when certain emergent situations call for it....as in tonight's snowstorm, Tac-2 does go back on line using the 1996 Mack.
hope this helps

Thanks for the info Dave and TNT. I noticed the '96 Mack had "Rescue 1" on the side. Was it reffered to as Rescue 1 before being designated "TAC 1"?
Thanks in advance.

Should have asked me...I shot it many years ago but don't believe I ever sent it to Juergen.

I've been looking for a photo of west havens old 29 the gmc with the body mounted scba in the yellow bags. My son saw a black and white photo and asked me if I have any color ones and I told him I would see if I could find one here any help would be appreciated.

Ladder 68--Hartford's rescues have always been designated Tac-1 and Tac-2. i really have no idea as to why the Mack was lettered Rescue1. always kinda puzzled me.....lol
sorry i didn't get back sooner......been out of power for 2 1/2 days
