Firehouse USA: Boston was a 2005 TV series on Discovery Channel. The series followed Boston Fire Department Engine Co. 37 and Ladder Co. 26, quartered on Huntington Ave., Boston, Massachusetts.[1] The narrator was Mikey Kelley and the executive producer was Mark Kadin.[2] The series premiered Sept 20th, 2005[3] and was canceled later that year. A likely reason Huntington Ave was chosen was due to it being regarded as one of the busiest firehouses in Boston.
Post-series
One of the firefighters who appeared in the series, Lt. Kevin Kelly, was killed in a crash when Ladder 26 was returning from a call. The ladder truck became a runaway due to brake failure on a hill, the truck hit two parked cars then a building killing Lt. Kelly & injured 3 other fire fighters.[4] (Also see: BFD Apparatus)
