This isn’t necessarily a bad thing, unless it is undue response while leaving other areas uncovered while they accommodate for the show…but that is me being VERY picky. That is fine, but it almost hints at station 3 apparatus being added to calls just so some of the main characters end up on scene for the show. It seems as though the show actually follows accidents throughout the entire City and not just ones for Station 3. However, there is only so much you can show in 30 minutes. I am not saying I want more depth, but if you are going to do it you need to do more.
What I didn’t like was how the show brought in some family life but didn’t go into too much depth. The editing isn’t over the top, the show does a great job of giving the public a view of what we go through on a day to day basis. I believe the show has a great balance of what is going on in FD’s across the States. The show actually shows EMS calls, vehicle accidents, car fires, a plane into a house, station life, training, and even the recruit process. The show is not riddled with house fire after house fire after house fire. The firefighters are respectful of the citizens and operate as I would imagine all of us would if we had cameras following us around. The on scene interviews give introspect on what is going on (for those of us who don’t already know). The camera operators ride in the rigs giving you a great view of all aspects of our jobs. My first impression after watching the first two episodes is that we have a quality show. Its resources include four fire stations and nine front-line emergency vehicles comprised of four fire engines, one truck, two paramedic squads, and two basic life support transport ambulances. Today the Fire Department has 84 sworn employees and five civilian employees.

The City of Compton has 4 fire stations, a population of 100,000 and 75 known active gangs. The main characters detailed below are stationed at Station 3 which is also the Training Center. I am certain that these calls probably did not happen in exact succession nor did they happen all in the same day. These are real firefighters, real calls, real lives, and decent editing!Įpisode 1 opens with an EMS Call DOA (gunshot if I remember correctly), an overdose with a combative patient, a car fire, then a plane crash. “First In” is a documentary, or maybe even more clearly a docu-drama. I don’t have a clue who is a Paramedic and who isn’t, they don’t give any information on who is certified in what. The ambulance operators work in the station but they are not firefighters. As best as I can tell, Compton FD does EMS also, but they have an interesting make-up of firefighters and “ambulance operators”. What is additionally great is that they have removed all the commercials and merely added in two 30 second commercials per episode.įirst in is based on the Compton Fire Department and is narrated by Tyrese Gibson.

Luckily for me BET has added the full videos on their website ( I embedded the videos below). Apparently they played two videos that night. I have just gotten a chance to sit down and watch episode 1 and 2. First in is a brand new show on BET (Black Entertainment Television).
