9-1-1 Series Description, Courtesy of ABC:

The series explores the high-pressure experiences of first responders—including police officers, firefighters, and dispatchers—who are thrust into the most frightening, shocking, and heart-stopping conditions. These emergency responders must try to balance saving those who are at their most vulnerable with solving the problems in their own lives.

The show draws from the real lives of first responders who regularly face situations that are often unpredictable, intense, and uplifting at the same time.
