Really who dreamed up this honor? He walked up the stairs no Mask needed and walked down. How about the many grabs from members of unconscious people actually in a burning structure. Or how about any member on an engine company that has brought a junkie back to life with nar cam two or three times a shift or does cpr on a regular shift bases. Hey Russell wouldn't expect nothing less from you.

Another TAC hater!! Don't worry little boys and girls if the mayor has his way the capital city of Connecticut will not have a rescue squad, pretty embarrassing I might add for the insurance capital of the United States to not have a rescue squad in service. Then we TAC 1 members or should I say former TAC 1 members will see more in depth the uselessness of some of you little boys and girls with less than 5 yrs on the Dept shooting your little mouth. Because we will end up assigned to some of your stations and then you won't have nothing to say. So don't cry and wipe your eyes .
