![]() NFD will be supplying two fire fighters teams to work alongside THP and Army National Guard officials. Some of our friends in the Army National Guard heard what we were doing and offered to help with training, financing the team, and so forth. “About a year and a half ago, we started looking into the possibility of a helicopter rescue team with THP. “We have been working with Tennessee Highway Patrol for six years now, and have a partnership with them going back to the 1970s that was more unofficial,” Armstead said. Nashville Fire Department Special Ops Captain Michael Armstead said the idea was first proposed by officials with the Tennessee Highway Patrol (THP) as part of ongoing partnerships the agency has with the Nashville Fire Department. TN-HART will be used to deploy into the “harshest environments” and help citizens in need across Tennessee. The Helicopter Aquatic Rescue Team (TN-HART) and current Helicopter Technical Rescue Team will be staffed by members of each of the three agencies. The Nashville Fire Department is teaming up with the Tennessee Army National Guard (TANG) and Tennessee Highway Patrol (THP) to create two new helicopter technical rescue teams that can be deployed statewide. ![]()
