I just missed seeing the Tacs in service when I visited in March of 1980. I guess I referred to them as "Attack" units as that is what they were listed under in the old PFD Apparatus Roster I got from the shops. How big were the water tanks on the Tacs? And another question I had- did Philly have paid drivers at that time? If so, was there a paid driver assigned to both the Tac and the Unit?[/quote]
