A Working Fire & a Rookie’s Big Moment | 24 Hours With Cortez Fire

Описание: What’s it like to spend 24 hours with a small-town fire department covering 169 square miles?

In this ride-along with Cortez Fire Protection District in Cortez, Colorado, we respond to a working structure fire, run medical calls, and experience the full rhythm of a 24-hour shift. You’ll also witness a special moment as a probationary firefighter receives her official helmet shield… followed by a firehouse tradition you won’t want to miss.

From emergency response to station life, this is an inside look at what it really takes to protect a large rural district with limited resources and a tight-knit crew.
