Dalmatian productions, inc.
Jan 1999 - Jan 2020Our podcasts bring important issues facing first responders to our listeners from firefighters, EMT's, and Paramedics from around the country. We have had some of the most well-known chiefs, mentors and instructors in the American fire service, as our guests with over 150 episodes recorded and listeners across six continents. Topics have included reducing the number of LODD's (Line of Duty Deaths) due to preventable health issues, the extraordinarily high rate of firefighters afflicted with some form of cancer, firefighter fitness, "Your Department - Your Attitude" and many more. Show less Since 1999, the partners at Dalmatian Productions, Inc., have striven to bring the real stories of the brave men and women of America's fire/rescue services, to television. Our first show, "America's Heroes," was successfully marketed throughout Europe, Asia, and the Middle East.Today, the state of what is called, "reality television" is a joke! From scripted paranormal adventures" to cat-fishing with your bare hand, or mud driving, the American viewing public's intelligence is being insulted. On top of that, the main cable networks that are known for producing reality shows, have no interest in exhibiting any programming that deals with the fire-rescue profession. Where does that leave our company?After over a year of research, we decided that it was not worth the effort to fight with these networks. Instead, we felt we would stand a much better chance by developing a one hour procedural drama that focuses on an integral part of the fire-rescue service that has been all but ignored by the "big four" and major cable networks, yet still encompasses a background using fire/rescue, without hammering the viewers with red lights and siren, smoke and flames, every minute.
