  • 1m
  • 10m (10 episodes)
This live-action reality television series is the first to take viewers onto the front lines of firefighting and document all aspects of the firefighter’s job. Visiting fire departments across North America, The Bravest transports viewers to the scenes of disaster-- raging fires, car crashes, train accidents, and building collapses. Adrenaline rises as the truck sirens blare and viewers take a front-seat ride to the emergency site, and go directly into the fire...a place television has never gone before, thanks to a specially designed hi-tech camera system, called the “Vest Cam.” When the danger’s diminished, The Bravest goes inside the firehouse to see where firefighters live, eat, sleep, and work together...an up-close, never-before-look at firehouse culture.
