LA Fire & Rescue will see many firehouses reporting to their duties

Season 1 of LA Fire & Rescue will see firefighters rescuing people from different fire-related incidents. Viewers will witness how a fire department works, what their schedule looks like, what the instant call for action is, and many other dynamics. The audience will be privy to a fair share of emotion and drama.

The show will document the inner workings of the Los Angeles County Fire Department. According to NBC,

"For protecting the lives and property of four million residents living in 59 cities across Los Angeles County, the LACoFD’s 2,300 square miles of service is unlike any other in the United States."

The official synopsis of LA Fire & Rescue reads:

"From helicopter mountain rescues and lifeguard beach SOS, to fireboats, hazmat units and California’s raging wildfires, the department does it all."

The synopsis further reads:

"The series documents real calls and real drama while giving faces to the passionate firefighters who risk their lives in the name of service. These real-life heroes and their compelling stories are told alongside the unpredictable dangers they face on the front lines of life and death."

The official trailer for the docuseries gave viewers a glimpse of what they could expect. One firefighter expressed the two extremes—life or death—while another stressed how an individual's life was in their hands. The first look ended with one firefighter stating:

"It goes against every fiber in your body to go into a burning building. Should I risk my life? The answer's yes."

LA Fire & Rescue will feature a total of 7 firehouses - Station 8 (West Hollywood), Station 16 (Watts), Station 37 (Palmdale), Station 41 (Compton), Station 101 (Claremont), Station 172 (Inglewood), and Station 125 (Calabasas). They will be accompanied by Air Operations, also known as "Angels in the Sky," and the Lifeguards.

The official trailer of the docuseries shows some very distressing situations that promise to leave viewers shaken. It began with a call to action as the firefighters ran to rescue buildings on fire. They described the essence of timing and how there was no room for errors to take place.

A La Fire & Rescue firefighter described how they were called on "someone's worst day." Victims with gunshot wounds, people trapped inside, and some with cardiac arrest are a few of the many individuals who will be seen being rescued by the firefighters. The rescuers described that although they are tired and exhausted on a daily basis, this is what they signed up for.
