Fire Country: Pompiers sur appel

I'm not sure why one can't employ a technical advisor for stuff like this. As a veteran firefighter/EMT/Training Officer this is pretty ugly. Hose stream patterns, use of SCBA, K-mart aluminum ladders, the list is too long to put here. If you don't care about accuracy, reality, or logic and are just into a bunch of personal relationship drama you might be ok with it. For anyone with a touch of science understanding, or anyone who has actually worked this kind of work, it is a disgrace. Accurate for this trade/profession? No, not even close. Hire someone who understands the scope of this work. It would make a much better show.

Many of the characters are good but are pulled down by the horrible acting of a few. Stephanie Arcila and Jules Latimer make some of the scenes boring and just plan bad. Their characters should be strong but they are weak. Latimer tries to hard to be a seasoned fire fighter and comes off whiny. Arcila just comes off completely unbelievable. I hope the show survives because Max Thieriot and Kevin Alejandro are fantastic and totally believable. The premise of the show is a worthy one. Please get rid of the week actors so this show has a chance to survive. It is important to show what firefighters go through.

Had watched Seal Team so then watched this to see Max Theriot in something else so had pretty high hopes, it was entertaining enough, but the story was so poorly written and predictable.

The show had its moments and has good characters. It had entertaining fire fighting and rescue scenes in each episode but these were sometimes overshadowed my the consistent melodrama.

It had a lot of potential but was let down by poor writing and actors stopping in the middle of a fire to have a deep conversation got a bit tiring. Not sure if there is a season 2? If so I'd watch it but wouldn't rush. If your coming from Seal Team you'll be a bit let down.

I love this show! The other reviewers who talk about it not being "realistic" I guess never watch anything except documentaries and the news. I can't speak for how realistic it is, but I don't care. It's entertaining and that's why I watch t.v. I don't watch television because it's realistic. It has drama, eye candy and keeps my attention. That is ultimately what makes good television. Sure, it has its slow parts, but what doesn't? At the end of the day, I look forward to watching every week and it is a refreshing change from the many superhero shows out there. I recommend giving it a watch!!!

The overall plots are not bad. A little corny at times. However, there is way too much dialogue during active fire scenes. No putting out fires, just discussing the current events of that episode. There is also no sense of urgency when they are on a fire. Let's leave the story substance for the "down times" when there is not a fire. The overall theme and concept the show is good. Hashing out the daily drama during an emergency situation is not even close to realistic. I would hate to see this show end because they can't get this part right. Character development is good and the acting is good.
