VIDEO: Prime-time network television has been filled with shows featuring police, firefighters and other first responders for decades. “Chicago Fire,” “Chicago PD,” “Blue Bloods,” “Fire Country,” “SWAT,” “9-1-1” and “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit” were all among the top 30 shows on network TV, according to Nielsen, in late November. But we asked real first responders how authentic their TV counterparts were. The answer: not much. “Not realistic at all. It’s just a joke compared to the real thing,” Captain Brent Jeffries, of the Gantt District Fire Department, said. “Typically in a fire, you can’t see anything,” Jeffries told 7NEWS.
