Welcome to Oakland FIRE

OAKLAND FIRE is a cinematic documentary series that follows the firefighters of one of America's most dynamic and demanding fire departments. From high-rise rescues in the heart of downtown to water rescues along the Oakland Estuary, fast-moving hillside wildfires, complex medical emergencies, and structure fires in diverse neighborhoods, the series captures the courage, skill, and humanity required to protect one of the country's most fascinating cities. Building on the award-winning documentary Behind the Station Door, recipient of an LA Documentary Film Award and broadcast on ABC, and Confirming Stills, which aired on ABC and the National Geographic Channel, the series offers unprecedented access to the firefighters behind the badge. More than emergency response, Oakland Fire is a gritty, authentic portrait of resilience, leadership, sacrifice, and brotherhood as firefighters confront life-and-death situations while serving a city defined by its history, diversity, challenges, and unwavering spirit.

Unlike anything seen on television before, Oakland FIRE delivers an unfiltered, deeply moving look into the lives of five firefighters as they navigate the realities of the job both on and off duty. The series explores the emotional toll of the profession, including PTSD, the struggle to maintain family balance, and the challenges of confronting racism and sexism within and beyond the fire service. Set within one of the most diverse fire departments in the United States, the show highlights the legacy, culture, and lived experiences that shape these firefighters, offering a powerful and honest portrayal of what it truly means to serve.
