With firefighter shows, it’s a draw on what we love more: the dramatic emergencies that put our favorite characters’ lives on the line or the passionate relationships that burn off (and sometimes on) the clock.
Whatever it may be, we can’t stop watching, and each has something different to offer. From the long-running Chicago Fire that launched the One Chicago universe (that includes two other current shows and one that ended) to 9-1-1 with its memorable emergencies to Fire Country that shows a different side of the job to even the comedic Tacoma FD.
Below, we take a look at the nine best scripted firefighter shows. Take a look, then head to the comments section to let us know your picks.
