Goes into the lives of departments around the nation and spends 24 hours with them, 7 days a week, filming their "daily" activities... (they are on the East Coast now). Each Friday at 5pm they air a new "webisode" of "the Battalion", there are already a TON of videos posted.

There are some very interesting interviews as well as footage... for those of us in the service it's a cool look into what other departments face on a daily basis, and for those not in the fire service, it's a pretty decent view into the fire service and the life of a fireman.

It could be more in-depth (going more into the lives of the firemen and women), but the 10+/- mins each webisode is, it's worth the watch.

This reminds me of something you'd watch on the Discovery Channel, A&E, TLC or one of those type of channels.
 
I like what they showed for Kentland. Those guys are nuts busy. Live in Vollys and 20-30 calls a day for the house.

They're also always at the top of the news for doing stupid **** and constantly thumbing their nose at PGFD. Wasn't really suprised to see them on there, they do whore some media attention. :rolleyes: They do more to mire the reputation of and confidence in the fire department AND they also refuse to run EMS calls.
