Urban Search and Rescue Tennessee Task Force or TN-TF1 is a FEMA Urban Search and Rescue Task Force based in Memphis, Tennessee. TN-TF1 is sponsored by the Memphis Fire Services.[1] The team consists of professional firefighters, physicians, nurses, paramedics, structural engineers, canine search specialists, heavy equipment operators, and other specialists.[2]
In April 1997, it was reported that TN-TF1 was preparing to get ready for deployments. It would become one of the only task forces in the Mid-South, the closest at that time being those in Florida and Nebraska.[3]
