"Into the Smoke," (ITS) is a Docu-reality series following firefighters through their daily activities.
We ride with fire companies and film them doing what they do best-making a difference in their community. From missing lunch for a house fire, to rolling out of bed at 3 AM to extricate a patient from a vehicle, we are there and now you are too. Through the use of multiple camera angles including a "first person" view, you see what they see.
Producers Dave Hernandez, Steve Mathis and Sean Crowley wanted to tell the story of the firefighters around them in a new way. Hernandez started ITS as an idea in March 2012. After several months of planning, Hernandez, Mathis and Crowley started filming in the fall of 2012. Season one of the show premiered December 20, 2013 to a sold out crowd of 100 in the Riverside firehouse in Riverside, NJ.
