PUYALLUP, WA — You probably often see your local firefighters racing through town on their way to some emergency. But rarely to you ever get to actually watch them fight a fire or rescue someone from a car crash.

That's about to change.

Central Pierce Fire and Rescue will be featured on the premiere of the show "First Responders Live" on June 11. Like "Cops," the show tags along with real-life first responders as they work. The show will air on Q13 at 9 p.m. Wednesday.
