Who narrates Yorkshire Firefighters, how can I watch BBC series and which fire stations are featured?

It seems people can't get enough of documentaries set in our county - whether it's Our Yorkshire Farm, The Yorkshire Job Centre or The Yorkshire Vet.

Now people will get to see behind the scenes as the brave men and women of West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service put out fires across the region and generally keep the people of Yorkshire safe.

Filmed using the latest technology, viewers will be brought closer than ever before to real-life emergencies, seeing inside burning buildings and getting to the heart of the action.

West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service has 900 firefighters dedicated to serving a population of more than two million people - often in remote, highly dangerous and life-threatening situations.

Each episode shows the men and women behind the visors as they help communities during last winter, in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic.

The first episode features the run-up to Bonfire Night, and the crews across some of West Yorkshire’s 40 stations are wondering how lockdown – and the banning of organised bonfires – will affect their normally busy workload around November 5th.

They soon find out as they are called out to a post box fire and reports of a firework being pushed through the letterbox of a house in Leeds, where a terrified mother and young daughter are inside.
