Production

In 2019, A&E began developing a spin-off of Live PD called Live Rescue focusing on emergency rescue calls as opposed to police calls.[3] Ashleigh Banfield was the first host of the series.[4] The series received an initial eight episode order and premiered on April 22, 2019.[5] A bonus episode of the series aired on May 9 bringing the episode count up to nine episodes. A&E later ordered an additional ten episodes bringing the final episode count to nineteen.[6] Live Rescue also has its own spin-offs entitled Live Rescue: Rewind [7] and Live Rescue: Emergency Response. [8] Live Rescue: Rewind highlights segments from formerly aired episodes of Live Rescue and airs in the same format of Live PD: Rewind.[9] Live Rescue: Emergency Response is a half hour show which shows highlights from Live Rescue and interviews with the fire fighters and emergency medical technicians featured.

For the second season, Matt Iseman took over as host.[10] Season 2 premiered on September 23, 2019. The series returned with two new agencies, including the Tallahassee Fire Department (FL) and the San Bernardino County Fire Department (CA).[1] Returning departments include the Mesa Fire and Rescue Department (AZ), the Paterson Fire Department (NJ), the St. Louis Fire Department (MO), the Hamilton County EMS (TN), and the Sacramento Fire Department (CA).[1]
