Here's the 411 for anyone who hasn't heard the buzz...
The show's star, executive producer, writer and creator is comedian Denis Leary, whose inspiration for the show was his favorite cousin, a firefighter who died in the line of duty in a Worcester, Mass fire in 1999.
The buzz is that Leary, famous for his sarcastic wit, isn't turning mushy for the show, in case anyone was worried, the character he plays is flawed and real. The stories are based on real life. Leary was so adamant that the show remain true that he hired actor Jack McGee to play his boss, Chief Reilly. (McGee was a bronx firefighter for 10 years and was as dedicated as Leary to maintaining reality for the series.) I hope it'll be as good as they're saying...
XOXO
