Acclaimed actor and FDNY veteran Steve Buscemi looks at what it's like to work as a New York City firefighter. Utilizing exclusive behind-the-scenes footage and firsthand accounts from past and present firefighters, this special explores life in one of the world's most demanding fire departments while illuminating the lives of the often "strong and silent" heroes who risk their lives to protect residents and serve the city.
This is a great documentary and well worth the watch if you're involved in emergency services or have an interest in this lifestyle and career.
I had no idea that Steve was a former FDNY firefighter and he brought a truly touching insight to the role interlaced with his own experiences on the job.
This was made even better because he had a true friendship that really shined through as he interacted with the FDNY members.
It wasn't a typical, sterile, "from an outsider" perspective. Steve had a real camaraderie with each person he interviewed.
Well done to Steve and the team....
