I saw the show the other night. I thought it was basically a good show. My only real complaint was that it was very Brand Specific. I don't know if there was any reason other than just getting the names correct, but much of the tools and apparatus they discussed were called by their brand names.

I was disappointed in the program and if I had been interviewed about various things and they kept highlighting the competitors product i would be a disturbed.

I also found that the show's dictating did not come even close to what was on the screen at the time.

I was overall disappointed, The public that was watching that was mislead about a number of things and really did not display the fire service in a favoable fashion.
