I started watching this cause of denis leary,and cause everyone talked about it. A side from a few funny moments here and there this really was a crap show. They never put out fires either. You see them walking into burning buildings to rescue people,but they never really put out the fire. An the fires are just usually so small they could be put out with a bucket of water. I dunno bout you, but if I'm in a burning building with debris falling from the roof,I wouldn't take of my helmet. But these guys do it all the time, while burning debris raining all around them.To me, that seemed unrealistic. I also think this would be a low key show, if it wasn't for denis leary constantly making connection to the firefighters who lost their life on ground zero. Tu summarize the story of the show Drinking,complaining,screwing,cheating,more drinking,and maybe some walk in a burning building just so you don't fall a sleep
