Yes it's true. We're in production and have begun shooting stock footage for the project.



We're supported by our local government, fire department and chief. Episode 1 script is done, and we're working on the second one now.

I had a brief meeting with an writer a week or so ago. We discussed the project and now we have a screenwriter. AND he's a volunteer firefighter as well. Does it get any better ?



Still need stories of the volunteer. If used a credit will be given. Hey, not just firefighting stories, but related family and community too as long as the story is tied to the service and the firefighter.
