Legacy forged at Hartford, CT — Every detail tells a story of service
On April 19th, 1982, Official Order #34 was issued, establishing Tactical Unit 1 at Engine Company 8's quarters. The purpose and intent of the Tactical Units is to provide Chief Officers with flexible fast-attack manpower squads capable of performing both engine and ladder company operations, as well as additional specialized duties. The Fire Department was able to save the manpower by converting them into Tactical Units, establishing Rescue companies that proved to be necessary.
