In 2017, we took a significant step towards highlighting the incredible stories of Volunteer Fire Companies (VFCs) by creating a 30-minute pilot episode. This episode was released on Network TV, YouTube, and various social media platforms, reaching a broad audience and bringing attention to the heroic efforts of volunteer firefighters. Thanks to the generous support of an angel investor, we were able to hire a small but dedicated production crew. This team worked tirelessly to capture the essence of VFCs in action, following them on several calls in my hometown of Bel Air, Maryland.

​

The experience of filming the pilot episode was both challenging and rewarding. We had the opportunity to ride along with the volunteer firefighters, witnessing firsthand their bravery, skill, and dedication. Our crew was able to document the intense moments of responding to emergencies, as well as the quieter, yet equally important, aspects of their daily routines. Through this pilot episode, we aimed to give viewers a glimpse into the lives of these unsung heroes and the crucial roles they play in our communities.

​

Looking ahead, my goal is to continue producing new content and episodes to share on our channel. The response to the pilot episode was overwhelmingly positive, and it reinforced the importance of telling these stories. By creating more episodes, we hope to further raise awareness, garner support for VFCs, and inspire others to volunteer. The courage and dedication of these firefighters deserve to be recognized and celebrated, and we are committed to bringing their stories to light in the near future.
