As you can tell by my review title, I loved the pilot because I loved doing that job. So, I can't wait to see what comes next. I sure hope they dont mess this up.
The technical aspects about firefighting, while not perfect, were realistic enough. The essence of the work was captured yet heavily abbreviated... especially how they rushed thru the training aspect. You dont just sign up and deploy to a working fire without the proper knowledge. Thats how people get killed.
BUT, that is forgivable since it was to ensure that the viewers dont lose interest... the story had to keep moving and essentially get to the "good stuff" as quickly as possible in a one hour show.
Good writing... good story... great action!!!
