Fire Whistle Heroes!

#VolunteerFirefighter #Siren #HeroShow more

Title of Reality show: “Fire Whistle Heroes.” Created by Roger J Lown© 2018

Pitch: From everyday citizens to firefighters at the sound of alert tones and fire whistles!

Narrative
“All across our nation in our communities there are men and women from age sixteen to sixty years of age who are trained and ready and willing to voluntarily answer their neighbors call for help. When their alert pagers open up and the firehouse whistle wails in the day or in the night our brave men and women become volunteer firefighters. When others run from the danger zone, we run in at the sound of alert.”

The audience will get to see our volunteers with their alert pagers and “turn-out” gear carried along, as they are ready when the fire/rescue tones “open up” and they listen to the call for help. Calls range from house fires to auto accidents, from down trees to down power lines to evacuating residents during hurricanes, tornadoes, and snowstorms and every emergency where lives are in danger. They will see the humanity of our rescue and ambulance personnel as they calm frightened patients in traumatic medical emergencies. The audience will also see the men and women of our communities marching in townships and county parades being followed by the pumpers, tankers, rescue rigs and ladder trucks which are polished and gleaming that are the pride of the department.

Volunteer first responders are on call 24 hours a day 7 days a week 365 days of the year including holidays and family events such as birthdays and weddings. I believe my fellow brother and sister volunteers want the television audience to observe the quick decisions the men and women have to make as they go about their lives until the alarm goes of changing their direction. There are occasions when they may have to decide for example if they are able to respond to a call. A first responder may be shopping when her alert pager goes off, does she continue shopping or does she drop everything and go to the alarm? If she is a mother with a child she is unable to respond. A first responder may be at home working on a project where he to must decide does he stay or drop everything he’s doing and go? If he is a father with children in his care he is unable to respond. Depending on the nature of the alarm both may leave what they’re doing in the situation of a reported structure fire (also known in the fire dept. community as a 10-75) if their situation permits. On an all hands structure fire almost every volunteer responds because they want to be involved.

Show script:
The show opens with host surrounded by members of a volunteer fire department.

Host: All across our great nation there are men and women in our communities who are trained ready and willing to voluntarily run into dangerous emergency situations when their neighbors find themselves in trouble. Tonight we get an opportunity to follow our volunteer heroes as they go about their everyday lives ready to respond when the alarm goes off.

Introduction ends with host saying the tagline: “I’m your host Roger Lown, for Fire Whistle Heroes!”

Cut to commercial break.

When the show returns from commercial break a volunteer who is randomly selected is shown on camera stating the following:

Hello I am (John/Mary) (Doe) from the (hometown) volunteer fire dept and you’re watching Fire Whistle Heroes.

Show returns showing map of USA then zeroing on a state (for example New York) then a county, Dutchess county. The audience hears the hosts voice announce along with the maps (For example): New York State- Dutchess County-
The East Fishkill Fire District; Hopewell Hose Co.1, Stormville Fire Co.2, Hillside Lake Fire Co.3, and Wiccopee Fire Co. 4. Four stations one family and all one hundred percent volunteer.

The camera focuses on the chief, the station and the members living their lives in anticipation for a call.
