Is LA Fire & Rescue Real? How Much Is Scripted

From its title, LA Fire & Rescue seems similar to NBC’s Chicago Fire, but its docuseries format reveals that it is more grounded in reality – here’s an explanation of how much of it is scripted. Produced by Dick Wolf, who also created the Chicago franchise, LA Fire & Rescue focuses on the lives of real emergency responders, including lifeguards, paramedics, and firefighters working at the Los Angeles County Fire Department. With each episode, the NBC series highlights how the first responders take up a whole new rescue mission and use their expertise to protect the people of Los Angeles.
