I'm not on Facebook much, but if you search for "The Fire Department Chronicles", they do skits blasting how moronic the fire shows are. Usually he uses a green screen and places himself in the stupidest part of the scene.


“The Vixen” watches Fire Country for the “eye candy”. Personally, I think it’s a very dumb show.

Up until about halfway through the first season, Fire Country was a decent show.
It has gotten pretty bad lately.
What's his face was much better in Seal Team. Naturally they had to end his character over there....

Sometimes someone leaves Fire Country or Chicago Fire running in the day room. Lately the channel gets switched to football or Yellowstone. Nobody at the station seems to watch those shows anymore.

Interesting thing about Emergency! is that it helped raise public awareness about Emergency Medical Services (EMS). Emergency! first aired in 1972. The Feds passed the EMS Systems Act 1973 which funded regional EMS systems all over the country. Do you think there was any cause and effect here?

Absolutely, but more than just EMS. My best friend and I used to play Emergency! on our bikes. He was 2 years older and could ride faster, so he was Squad 51. I was Engine 51. We both grew up to be firefighters (our EMS was and is still separate from FD). I'm still doing it!
