First Responders Live<\/em> has found a home at FOX, with the network giving the unscripted series, which is executive produced by Dick Wolf (Law & Order<\/em>), a June premiere.<\/p>\n The show, which will premiere on FOX on Wednesday, June 12, at 9 p.m., gives viewers an in-depth look at first responders as they answer emergency calls from across the country. The show is hosted by Emmy Award-winning television journalist Josh Elliott, who viewers may recognize from Good Morning America<\/em>, Today<\/em> or Yellowstone Live<\/em>, National Geographic\u2019s four-night special that he also hosted.<\/p>\n Each week, the show will embed cameras in multiple cities across the country in order to document a night in the life of firefighters, police officers, EMS technicians and first responders. Elliott will provide live analysis and commentary, with help from a team of experts, as the show follows first-person accounts of the action.<\/p>\n First Responders Live<\/em> is produced by Wolf Entertainment and 44 Blue Productions, a Red Arrow Studios company. Wolf, Rasha Drachkovitch and Tom Thayer serve as executive producers.<\/p>\n Rob Wade, president of alternative entertainment and specials at FOX Entertainment, said: \u201cI am thrilled to work with the legendary Dick Wolf on a show that will give viewers a unique look at the bravest and most courageous among us, as they jump into the fray to rescue and save lives. With the success of our drama 9-1-1<\/em>, viewers have a strong appetite for stories based in this world. Watching real first responders spring into action as they answer these calls will be a thrilling, edge-of-your-seat journey for viewers each week.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI have always been fascinated by the brave work of first responders, who face life-and-death decisions on a daily basis,\u201d added Wolf. \u201cFirst Responders Live<\/em> will give viewers a front-row seat to paramedic, fire and police calls, and they will see the challenges of every type of emergency. It is truly the real-life version of Chicago Fire<\/em>, Chicago P.D.<\/em> and Chicago Med<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" First Responders Live has found a home at FOX, with the network giving the unscripted series, which is executive produced by Dick Wolf (Law & Order),\u00a0a June premiere.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1049,"featured_media":12626,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[1664,3642,92,3643],"class_list":["post-12625","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-dick-wolf","tag-first-responders-live","tag-fox","tag-josh-elliott","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"\n
