Dear Mr. Ron Howard,
I Roger J Lown would like to meet with you to pitch my reality show to you. Thank you in advance for considering my idea.
Sincerely,
Roger J Lown
“We have a 10-75!”: The life of the American volunteer firfighter. Benjamin Franklin began an
American tradition that many community-minded men and women have carried on
with great honor and reliability since. This show is a journey into the lives
of ordinary citizens—both men and women between the ages of sixteen to
sixty—who become extraordinary heroes at the sound of alert tones and the wail
of the firehouse siren. There are many conflicts and arguments since the
volunteer fire department is dysfunctional just like any other family. But when
the alarm goes off they come together as a close, secure family on the fire
scene.
After
doing my research. I came up with a great opening for this show idea. The more
I think about it, this show could also be a drama series based on volunteer
firefighter’s lives. Here it is:
The
show starts with an image of Ben Franklin as a volunteer fireman. Colonial fife
and drum music plays in the background while a narrator states the following:
“In 1736, Benjamin Franklin created the
Union Fire Company, also known as the Bucket Brigade. The organization operated
with horse-drawn engines and buckets. Today, that tradition of voluntarily
saving lives and property continues.”
The
scene fades and we see a vintage vision of early firefighters taking turns
striking a steel locomotive ring hanging from wood rafters to alert all members
of the firefighting community. This is what they did in the days before
motorized apparatus and firehouse whistles. The scene fades again to a
horse-drawn, steam engine carrying men shouting, “Fire!” as they move down the street
expeditiously. The vintage film turns to color, as the horse-drawn apparatus
with its leather hat warriors becomes a modern fire truck in route to a fire
call. The federal Q siren screams to clear the way. The show begins with
cameras capturing the lives of volunteer firefighters who respond to fire and
rescue calls 365 days a year, even on holidays and birthdays. Their life story
has not been heard until now.
Who
will answer America’s call for help? The American Volunteer Firefighter, that’s
who!
