Two fire departments in rural Alberta risk their lives to help protect the citizens of the province's isolated areas.

Chief Jamie Coutts plays host to firefighters from Yellowhead County, Port Alberni and Swift Current to look back at their most challenging calls and what it takes to be part of the brotherhood and sisterhood of firefighting.

In Slave Lake, Alberta, a burning oil truck triggers a wildfire; in Yellowhead County, Chief Bhari recovers the remains of two victims from a wrecked semi; Chief Jamie Coutts is called up to High Level to battle a wildfire.

As a home burns in Port Alberni, Captain Scott Burrows can't locate two firefighters or the house's occupants; in Swift Current, a rescue operation at a wind turbine is fraught with danger.

Chief Jamie Coutts and his crew battle an inferno in an oil storage facility near Slave Lake; 287 kilometers west, a freak snowstorm causes chaos on the road and in the woods.
