With the digital cable service I have, I can check for future dates a program will be on (within the limit of what's been scheduled so far, of course). There were no listings for the immediate future. It seemed like it probably was a made-for-tv movie.
The only part I saw was just as the main character (Kathy Bates, I don't know the character's name) had gotten notice in the mail that she passed the test. Then she went to the fire station, met some people, then she was at home playing with a bunch of stuff they gave her. She told her husband that the fire department gave most of this stuff to her, but she did order some of it off the internet. She had a big red gear bag, fire helmet (like a Cairns 660) with no shield, a stethoscope (a Littmann, I observed), and a whole bunch of other stuff. She also got this giant star of life decal that she put on her hood; it had to be about three feet in diameter. Then, the first time she got called out, you see she had a small blue lightbar on her car that she was using.
Now I don't know about anywhere else in the country, although I suspect it's pretty much the same, but at least in Maryland, only the police can use blue lights, and nobody (except I think chiefs) can have flashing lights on their private cars. And a fire helmet with no shield? It looked like the producers of this movie needed to hire better technical consultants.
Fire-Police can use red and white. Police use red-white-Blue combos. Railroad uses white soild, as do school busses. Construction is amber, funeral vehicles use purple solid, and SAR/Command post vehicles use green solid. All state certified heavy-rescues must carry green lights for that purpose.
