What does "tactical unit" mean in Hartford?
[/quote]
The Tactical Unit in Hartford is their name for a heavy rescue squad. At one time there were 2 "TAC's" in Hartford. TAC 1 was assigned to Engine 8 on Park St. and TAC 2 was assigned to Engine 2 on Main St. in the North End. They consolidated them into one TAC Unit sometime in the 1990's. Hartford's current TAC 1 responds out of fire headquarters on Pearl St. It responds on all boxes and MVA's in the city. It has been the busiest rescue in the nation for a few years now.
