Best Answer

Only Two television drama series dealt specifically with Fre fighting- and the role was expanded in one- Emergency- the Station 5l squad men were Paramedics, and not alol emergencies involved fires. the latter, shall we say one-alarm Firehouse starred James Drury ( he of Virginian fame) as a Fire chief and barely lasted one season. Movies dealing with modern-day firefighting are also rare- I can only think of Backdraft and Ladder 49 as recent examples- the subject matter is too close to home ( Walk, don"t run!) and if really accurate coud not avoid some pretty unpleasant social commentary, while on the fiery path- Arson as a plot device was pretty well near banned under the production codes that governed films- thus no ( Arson Squad, FDNY film or tv series)l so it goes- Flame out! I might add no Popular song to my knowledge deals DIRECTLY with fire fighting, though some make casual references to ( a Four alarm) and a fireman is a walk-on character, one of several in The Beatles song Penny Lane.
