About this show

No job is more stressful, dangerous or exhilarating than those of the Firefighters, Rescue Squad and Paramedics of Chicago Firehouse 51. These are the courageous men and women who forge headfirst into danger when everyone else is running the other way. But the enormous responsibilities of the job also take a personal toll. With big reputations and hefty egos, the pressure to perform and make split-second decisions is bound to put squad members at odds. When a tragedy claims one of their own, there's plenty of guilt and blame to go around. When it's "go-time" though, they put their differences aside and everything on the line for each other. From renowned Emmy-winning producer Dick Wolf.

After being a firefighter paramedic for 20 years... this show is a joke. It compares to rescue me, which I actually liked better. Its all about drama. And unless you have actually worked in a station for 24 hour shift this is just another soap opera... I watched the first season and laughed at the show. Ive been to a few Chicago Fire houses and those that would talk about it say its an embarrassment to the department as well as the fire service! Most of the comments I doubt are from firemen.. but buffs

Real Firefighters: Thank u for the great job u all do. Yes, we know its fake. It is a show, not a documentary. For those of us that are older, it reminds me a bit about Emergency! back in the 70's, however it's nicely updated and not as corny. There are lighter moments with a bit of comedy, but then in a flash it becomes dramatic and tense. I really enjoyed the movie "Backdraft" and this is quite a bit similar. I hope it's able to survive and not get cancelled.

Since all shows are $2 no matter how good or bad, I'll rate with comments on the $2 worthiness. I'd watch more of this show on TV but I would not actively pay per episode. Liked the insight into the world of firefighters but the show lacked any special conflict that would pull me in to want to watch more. The guys are hot however.
