Discovery Channel Previews New Series Firehouse USA:Boston

Discovery Channel�s new one-hour weekly series FIREHOUSE USA: BOSTON provides an engrossing look at a close-knit company of firefighters in one of the country�s great historical hubs, as they live, play and work together, responding to both life-threatening emergencies and common catastrophes.

The weekly series will premiere on Tuesday, July 26 in primetime (exact time TBD), and air on subsequent Tuesdays. Discovery will feature a �sneak peek� of FIREHOUSE USA: BOSTON on Tuesday, June 14 from 10-11 PM (ET/PT).

In FIREHOUSE USA: BOSTON, stories blaze with everyday bonding and pulse-pounding action, while also showcasing the up-close and personal accounts of what a firefighter�s life is really like. And by delving even further into the personal and professional lives of these firefighters, the show treats viewers to the very real images of solidarity, camaraderie and friendship among seasoned veterans and rookies alike.

FIREHOUSE USA: BOSTON follows the gritty action of the Huntington Avenue firehouse�Engine Co. 37 and Ladder Co. 26�in Boston�s District 5. The men spend their shifts fighting dangerous fires, relaxing or pulling pranks in the firehouse, and participating in community events like the St. Patrick�s Day parade, charity barbecues or local sports leagues. Throughout, the city of Boston provides a compelling backdrop for their adventures and activities.

Says one firefighter, �We�re going to everybody�s worst day � and we just try to make that worst day a little bit better.� Adds Paul Carey, Captain of Engine Co. 37, �As I always say, there�s never a dull moment on Huntington Ave.
