Anyone watch this? It's on Discovery Channel. It starts in July, but they had a sneak preview tonight. Looks really interesting. And very WUSIWUG. There was one part where they were fighting a fire in an old part of town. The wood frame houses are right up close together, and three stories for three families. The firefighter was talking about how they were built for the immigrants. They call them Irish Battleships. LOL! Ah, my people.

I'd watch if it was a sausage-fest of hot firefighters. Do we get this on Discovery Canada?

Sadly, I don't think so Eeeyoreslament. Here's a link to an early page on the Discovery website about it. http://dsc.discovery.com/fansites/firehouseusa/firehouseusa.html And here's the press release: IN "FIREHOUSE USA: BOSTON," DISCOVERY CHANNEL CAPTURES THE INTENSE ACTION AND EVERYDAY LIVES OF A COMPANY OF REAL-LIFE BEANTOWN HEROES, PREMIERING JULY 26 -- "It’s good to be a firefighter. We're the good guys. We're the guys who come to help you." -- From Firehouse USA: Boston (June 15, 2005) -- Discovery Channel's new one-hour weekly series FIREHOUSE USA: BOSTON provides an engrossing look at a close-knit company of firefighters in one of the country's great historical hubs, as they live, play and work together, responding to both life-threatening emergencies and common catastrophes. The 13-part weekly series will premiere on Tuesday, July 26 at 9PM (ET/PT) and air on subsequent Tuesdays. In FIREHOUSE USA: BOSTON, stories blaze with everyday bonding and pulse-pounding action, while also showcasing the up-close and personal accounts of what a firefighter's life is really like. And by delving even further into the personal and professional lives of these firefighters, the show treats viewers to the very real images of solidarity, camaraderie and friendship among seasoned veterans and rookies alike. FIREHOUSE USA: BOSTON follows the gritty action of the Huntington Avenue firehouse -- Engine Co. 37 and Ladder Co. 26 -- in Boston's District 5. The men spend their shifts fighting dangerous fires, relaxing or pulling pranks in the firehouse, and participating in community events like the St. Patrick’s Day parade, charity barbecues or local sports leagues. Throughout, the city of Boston provides a compelling backdrop for their adventures and activities. Says one firefighter, "We're going to everybody's worst day ... and we just try to make that worst day a little bit better." Adds Paul Carey, Captain of Engine Co. 37, "As I always say, there's never a dull moment on Huntington Ave." FIREHOUSE USA: BOSTON is produced for Discovery Channel by Pilgrim Films and Television, Inc. Craig Piligian is executive producer, and Mark Kadin and Mitch Rosa are co-executive producers for Pilgrim Films and Television, Inc. Gena McCarthy is executive producer for Discovery Channel. Discovery Channel is the United States' largest cable television network, serving 89.9 million households across the nation with the finest in informative entertainment.

Watching, I think Discovery reruns their prime time stuff later in the evening. I didn't even think of BB! I get distracted by fire trucks and bucket boys, lol.
