FDNY
Fireboat Documentary |
|
After well over a year in
production, The History Channel will soon broadcast a documentary
on the history of the Fireboats of the New York City Fire Department.
The 90 minute program will cover fireboat development since our first boat in
1866; some of the many fires, disasters, and emergencies these boats have worked
at over the years; and the heroic exploits of their crews – many of which
are interviewed. There
are also segments on the restoration of the 1931 fireboat John J. Harvey
(see www.fireboat.org); and the fireboats’
role at the World Trade Center and their rescue of Captain Fuentes.
The program is scheduled
to be shown on Monday night, September 8, 2003 at 10:00 p.m. Eastern and Pacific
Time. Check your local listing as the date gets close since these schedules
have been known to change at the last minute. The title is “The
Fireboats of 9/11.”
Click
here to view The History Channel’s press release. The program was
produced by Dreamtime Entertainment
and was done with the cooperation of the New York Fire Department (FDNY).
