There are many members who wear there company logos who are are also useless at various stations through out the city. For you to sit here and say that TAC guys wear there company logos and are useless is ridiculous because almost every firefighter wears there company logo at every firehouse in the city to show company pride and dedication,something you most likely lack.

There are guys who belong there and guys who don't. I think it's crazy for FF's who love this job to not want to be on the Tac. They are almost guaranteed to go to all fires on their shifts. All extrications on their shifts. The previous 2 things barring being off line for training and such. But for Tac guys to think they are better than anyone else is ridiculous. They are trained in specialized rescue operations like high angle and confined space and other crap too I can't think of.Does that training make you superior firefighters. I don't think so. Some of the old school guys were exceptional FF's. Some current guys are great also. But some current guys are useless. The useless ones are usually the ones who love to toot their horns the most. Toot on useless. P.S. they are also the ones who don't own any clothes without the Tac 1 ensignia on it.

None of them would have ever bothered responding to posts. They were too busy being firefighters. Maybe the TAC DOES have too much time on their hands nowadays with the pumpers doing all the calls.

Its a big scam to keep that shitty ragged banner on the front of old HQ on Pearl St.<br />Total up all the money spent for special training, special "Tac Only" overtime, upkeep on the Rescue Truck, and finally upkeep for 275 Pearl St. (heating, cooling, utilities, etc), and compare it to the actual work they do, NOT RUNS. They have not done a single rope, trench, confined space, or technical rescue. These fools cannot even tie their shoes. Simple logic, millions invested in Tac 1, zero return back.
