I liked this show in the beginning, not anymore. I understand that they need us to know what is going on with the characters in the show, but, there has to be a better way to do it. They stand around talking about their problems while a car crash victim is possibly dying or a wildfire is going to destroy a whole town. I'm not even a firefighter and I know that's not how it is in reality. I guess the network just thinks viewers are that stupid. Most of the storylines are ridiculous, unrealistic and at times, almost nausea inducing. I will say I really like many of the actors (Billy Burke, Diane Farr, Max Thieriot, Jules Latimer).
